2nd Timothy 3:15-17, “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
I was thinking just now about how beautiful the Holy Bible is. There is no other book like it in the world. ...
“The Bible is no mere book, but a Living Creature, with a power that conquers all that oppose it.” —Napoleon
When men author a book, they simply write one book. But that is not how God gave His Word to mankind. The Lord gave some of it to Isaiah. He gave some of it to Moses. God gave some of it to Daniel the prophet, and to Joel He gave some, and to David and his son Solomon. God gave some of His inspired Words to Peter, James and John, and to Luke and Matthew. All toll, God gave 66 books of the Holy Bible to humanity through approximately 40 different authors.
And if that is not amazing enough dear friend, God gave those 66 books to holy men of old over a time period of approximately 1,500 years. Wow! That is super incredible.
And please also consider, that most of these 40 men never met each other. If they had known each other, it wouldn't have mattered, because they spoke different languages. They were greatly diversified in education, skills, background, ethnicity and culture. Daniel was a brilliant statesman. David was a poor shepherd boy who eventually became a king. Abraham was a herder of animals. Luke was a medical doctor. Matthew was a tax-collector. Peter and John were fishermen. God used these different men, who spanned 1,500 years of human civilization, to give us the individual books comprising the Holy Bible as we know it today.
The odds of such a thing being achieved by a generational conspiracy of men is not only astronomically improbable, but absolutely impossible!!! If men could have written the Bible, they wouldn't have; and if they would have, they couldn't have!
But wait there's so much more! How did Isaiah know in 700 BC that Christ would be born of a virgin. Isaiah 7:14, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Here is the New Testament fulfillment of this wonderful Messianic Prophecy:
Matthew 1:20-23, “But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”
Christ was born of a virgin! Jesus had no earthly biological father. God Himself was Jesus biological Father in Heaven. That is why we properly call Jesus the “only begotten Son of God.” That is why I adamantly reject all these modern Devil's Bibles that remove the word “BEGOTTEN” from John 3:16 and 1st John 3:16, attacking the deity of our great Savior! John 1:12 teaches that every child of God is an adopted son of God. So for these modern Bible perversions to say that Jesus is God's “only son” is heresy! Jesus is GOD'S ONLY BEGOTTEN SON!!! And don't you forget it!
The Holy Bible contains 31% prophecy. The Muslim Koran contains ZERO prophecy! The perverse book of Mormon contains ZERO prophecy! Oh how divine is the inspired King James Bible that you hold in your hand dear saint of God!
