How Did the Bible Come to Us?

-
Did you know our Bible is God-breathed or exhaled out from God? (II Timothy 3:16-17) Yes, God Almighty is the Author. God’s Spirit moved forty-four or forty-five different individuals to pen His Word, over a period of about fifteen hundred years.
Jerome, an ancient historian and bible translator, called the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments a Divine Library.
God, Himself, spoke His ten commandments from Mount Sinai and the Israelites heard His voice and trembled. In almost 4,000 references, Bible writers penned the Lord spoke audibly.

 Truly, our amazing Bible came to us by supernatural means and in the original languages, it is perfect and incapable of error.
So what does it say about us when we don’t believe God’s word?
Our excuse comes with thinking, maybe the original languages are inerrant, but the translations are man’s doing and man is fallible.

However, think about this…


If we truly believe God is powerful enough to speak the universe into being, to form man from the dust of the earth and breathe into him the breath of life, can we honestly say He is not powerful enough to watch over the translation of His word?

Of course He is.

So again, what does it say about us when we don’t believe all of God’s word, when we pick and choose the parts we want to obey?

Maybe now we realize our error, then what can we do? What should we do?

 What will we do?


Remember:
“The grass withers…
…the flower fades,
…but the word of our God stands forever.” Isaiah 40:8

  WHAT IS TRUTH? Part 1   Flaming torches lit the road as guards carrying swords and clubs surrounded Him. Throughout the night, they tortured, tried, and convicted Him, even though four days earlier, citizens hailed Him as Messiah the Prince. [1] A nearby rooster crowed while a sliver of white light crested the horizon, and a cloaked figure ran from the courtyard weeping. Morning brightened the streets but not the hateful temperaments. Torches doused until night returned, and the evil parade marched on to the Praetorium. https://christianevidences.org/the-praetorium-antonia-fortress-jerusalem/   Outside this notorious citadel, self-righteous Pharisees who had named themselves His judge and jury summoned Pontius Pilate. Normally, a criminal would be escorted inside to the Bema—the judgment seat—but it was Passover. Entering a Gentile dwelling caused defilement making the Jew unable to partake. What a contradiction—what a joke—since they had the TRUE Passover Lamb in their custody

A PILLAR, A SHIELD, and A NEW NAME

  How quickly things change.   Tuesday, we buried my friend, my sister in Christ, my worship ministry partner, a person I greatly loved and admired. And the thing is, everybody felt the same way I did about her. She loved everyone, and everyone loved her. When Kim left this earth, she left a hole in our hearts and a vacancy in our church that only God can fill.   But this morning, as I was reminiscing, praying, and thinking about how to begin August’s newsletter, the LORD gave me a word – PILLAR – and the phrase, “…a pillar in the temple of My God….” [1]   I felt Jesus say to my heart, “Kim is one of My pillars. She shall go out no more. I have written My new name on her and the name of My city – the New Jerusalem.”   Tears escaped and wet my cheeks—tears of happiness for her—and tears of sadness for me and for those who miss her. Kim is seeing our God face to face, something she had longed to do since she met Him. He is keeping her close to His heart because that’s wher

THREE DAYS OF PRAYER FOR AMERICA’S 2022 MIDTERM ELECTIONS: Day Two, Monday, November 7, 2022 Photo by Timothy Eberly on Unsplash We cry out, O LORD, with our voice, and with our voice, we make supplication. We pour out our complaint before You and declare to You our trouble. Since the election of November 3, 2020, our spirits have been overwhelmed within us, but even then, You knew our path . On that day, evildoers secretly set a snare on our right hand. Any refuge failed us, no one acknowledged our complaints, and no one cared for our souls. Therefore, we cried out to You, O LORD, and said, “ You are our REFUGE and our portion in the land of the living.” Attend now, O LORD, to our cry since we feel very low and imprisoned in our supposedly “free” country. Bring our soul and nation out of prison, O LORD our God, that we may praise Your Name. [1] Deliver us from our persecutors, the perpetrators of this evil, for they appear strong and weaponized against us. Yet
