THE BIBLE IS A BOOK OF ONENESS

2 PETER 1:21

 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

The miraculous nature of the Bible should never be diminished. 

  • The Bible is actually a library containing 66 books
  • The Bible was written by 40 different men – in a remarkable cross section of humanity, including kings, fisherman, priest, public officials, farmers, teachers, physicians, educated and uneducated.
  • The Bible was written over a period of approximately 1,600 years
  • The diversity of subject matter challenges the best minds to quantify it; encompassing – history, law, science, poetry, drama, biography, religion, and prophecy. 
  • The phrase – Thus saith The LORD – occurs over 2,500 times in Scripture. All of these attributes in combination are a mathematical impossibility.

The various parts of the Bible are as harmoniously combined as the myriad parts of the human body.

A.W. Tozer: “We can hold a correct view of the truth only by daring to believe everything God has said about Himself. It is a grave responsibility that a man takes upon himself when he seeks to edit out of God’s self-revelation such features as he in his ignorance deems objectionable.

old bible

H.L. Hastings:  “So the hammers of infidels have been pecking away at this Book for ages, but the hammers are worn out, and the anvil still endures.  If this Book had not been the book of God, men would have destroyed it long ago.  Emperors and popes, kings and priests, princes and rulers, have all tried their hand at it; they die, and the Book still lives!” 

ISAIAH 46:9-10

9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me,

10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure:
