What is the Bible?
by Matt Slick | Aug 9, 2016 | Questions, The Bible

The Bible is a collection of 66 books written by about 40 authors, in three different languages, on three different continents, over approximately 1600 years. The Bible claims to be inspired and inerrant. This means that came from God and that it is without error in everything it addresses (2 Tim. 3:16). The Bible contains many different styles of writing such as poetry (Psalms), History (Genesis, Matthew), parables, prophecy, as well as fiction. In this latter instance, we turn to the following account that didn’t really happen but is used as an illustration.

Ezekiel 23:1-4, “The word of the Lord came to me again saying, 2 “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother; 3 and they played the harlot in Egypt. They played the harlot in their youth; there their breasts were pressed, and there their virgin bosom was handled. 4 “And their names were Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister. And they became Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah."

The Bible is the source of the Christian religion in that it contains the words of God and how the Christian is to apply the words of God to his life. Basically, the Bible describes the origin of man in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:18-25) along with his fall into sin and out of fellowship with God (Gen. 3:1-19). It then describes how God called out a special peoplebible books to Himself, the Israelites. He promised the Israelites a future Messiah who would restore mankind’s relationship with God. Therefore, it is the inspired account of the work of God in history bringing to fruition His prophetic declarations concerning Jesus. Jesus was born of the Virgin, died on the cross, and paid for sins, just as was prophesied in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New. In short, the Bible points to Jesus, "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me," (John 5:39).

Furthermore, the Bible teaches us that forgiveness of sins is found in Jesus alone, “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved," (Acts 4:12). Yet, some say that it is nothing more than fairy tales. But this cannot be for it contains confirmation in archaeology regarding people, places, and events. In fact, archaeology routinely demonstrates the accuracy of the biblical records concerning locations and events recorded in the Bible. In addition, it contains great wisdom and truth that has changed the lives of millions as well as shaped nations.

The Jewish Book

The Jewish Bible only has 39 books in it. The Christian Bible has 66 since Christians include the New Testament books. The Roman Catholic Church added several apocryphal books in 1546 in response to the Protestant Reformation. But, those additional books are not inspired.

Revelation is a apocalyptic book, it was rejected and added back by the “church fathers” it was the last book that was added to the Christian Bible.
All the books in the Christian Bible(it’s different from Hebrew Bible) was collected , added and complied by the Catholic.
You know what they call CANON? Do you even know what “Catholic” means?

The Christian Bible copied some books from the Hebrew Bible. the Old Testament is originally called tanakh and it’s for Judaism. The New Testament was created by the Catholic.

The Protestant, that is the Church of England only created another Bible VERSION which was the king James VERSION.

Authority of the Bible

Because the Bible is inspired by God, it is automatically authoritative. This means that it is the final authority in everything. It addresses and is the rule of conduct and worship for Christians. Those who would reject the final authority of the Bible position, often are led into false religious beliefs such as Mormonism, job is what this is, and certain false doctrines found in Roman Catholicism.

The Bible represents the word of God in written form that rightfully has the place of authority to which all true believers must submit.

If Bible is inspired by god why then did mother of Christianity(Catholic) set up a canon. The Bible means collection of books. Which book exactly did your god inspire that made it pass the canon into the Christian Bible you have now?

Without the Catholic and Angelican you will have no Christian Bible. Be careful when you call them false doctrines.
They created all the Christian Bible VERSION you use now.
If you call them false, you are calling your own doctrine(imagine) false too.
