"Think on these things":
2 Timothy 3:16-17 "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 complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." ? NKJV
The Bible, Genesis through Revelation, is given by God through men. It is in essence "God breathed". The Bible isn't just one book; it is in fact 66 books written by forty different authors, in three languages on three continents over a period of about two thousand years. Shepherds, kings, scholars, fishermen, prophets, a military general, a cupbearer and a priest all penned portions of Scripture. They had different immediate purposes for writing, whether recording history, giving spiritual and moral instruction, or pronouncing judgment. They composed their works from palaces, prisons, the wilderness and places of exile while writing history, laws, poetry, prophecy and proverbs. In the process they laid bare their personal emotions, expressing anger, frustration, joy, and love.
2 Peter 1:20-21 "knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." ? NKJV
The incredible thing is that despite all the authors, where they came from, what language they spoke, or their station in life. All 66 books agree and are without error. Try to do that with any other books! It's just not possible. The Bible is divine in origin. Amen?! God bless!
