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

Orlan Warsaw Marathon 2014 By Adrian Grycuk - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0 pl, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=32152574 I’ve never thought much about marathons before today. Have you? Even with the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, I didn’t think about the race. I only thought about the tragedy. I guess my simple, nonathletic mind has trouble understanding what would drive someone to run such a distance. But, I truly admire those who do. Did you know marathons originated around 490BC? According to www.justrunlah.com , the marathon came to be “at the time when the Persians were invading Greece.” This would have been four years prior to Xerxes ascending the Persian throne, seven years before his outlandish party, and about ten years before Esther became his choice for queen. [1] Supposedly, a Greek messenger, Pheidippides, ran from the Battle of Marathon to proclaim to the people of Athens, that the Greeks defeated the Persians. Unfortunately, after running
