Bible Question: What type of book is the bible, and how do I go about researching this question out? |
Bible Answer: g3ills - That the Bible is an anthology is true of course, but so were my literature textbooks in college. Let's let our research begin and end with what the Bible says of itself. ....... From the Old Testament: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." (Psalm 119:105). ....... And from the New Testament: "All Scripture is inspired (literally, 'God-breathed') by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16,17). ...... "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12). ..... The Bible is the living word of the living God, that's the type of book the Bible is. And the best way to go about "researching this question out" is simply to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest this unique, incomparable book. It does not merely contain the words of God, it is the very word of God. --Hank |
