With being Christians, we are automatically taught that the Bible is the eternal, inerrant “Word of God”. It’s no way that humans are born with the fear of God or the knowledge of God, but through good teaching we have the opportunity to learn. When reading the Bible it helps to guide us so we can have an even better understanding of the “Word of God”. “The word of God is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. It cuts all the way through, to where soul and spirit meet, to where joints and marrow come together. It judges the desires and thoughts of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12).

The Bible is the Word of God without a doubt. We believe this is the truth and we belive that there is no error when it come to God and his timing. There is no error or miscommunication when it comes to the Word of God and his teachings in the Bible. God has supreme authority over all things and the Bible was written for all of His people to follow His lead and to be blessed with the Holy Spirit. “But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.” (John 20:31). Now, we know the Bible was written in many versions, but the message is still very clear through the different versions. Some people find it hard to believe or hypocritical knowing that the Bible is in different languages. Greek was the most popular language at one point and that’s the language that the New Testament was written in.
The bible is an old book written a long time ago for an ancient audience. God is the divine author of the bible and he intended for us to be able to read and understand it, even in these current times. However, those ancient years in the time of the roman empire was were Christianity, as we know it, began its first steps. For this to happen, the authors who were inspired, had to make sure that their audience could understand and relate with their words. While we have learned to translate the language of the bible over the years the words and meanings are still the same. Which is why it is important to understand the context in which the Bible was written.
Because of aspects like how someone was raised and what type of culture they lived in, individuals interpret the Bible differently. This means that even if an individual believes the Bible is the inherent word of God, they may not have the same beliefs as someone who declares the same claim.
Unlike Mythology, narratives of the Bible are actual events that took place dating back to the beginning of time. The conception of The Holy Bible’s compilation started thousands of years ago in the land of Egypt. Initially, the Old Testament Scriptures were written in the Hebrew language, however, they were later translated to the Greek. At the onset of the New Testament writings, they were originally recorded in the Greek language. Forty men transcribed the voice of God, which resulted in sixty-six books of the Holy Bible. The Holy Scriptures explained the creations, formation of the world, God, God’s chosen people, sin, and the plan of salvation as well.
After reading “Everyday Bible Study, chapters 6-9” I found that God wrote the Bible. The Bible is made up of 66 books and was written over a large time span and has many different Authors like Peter, Matthew, and Timothy to name a few, and all were from various parts of the world. Given that technology was nowhere near what it is today, communicating with each other or to conspire was not possible during their time; they all corroborate the same thing, that God wrote the Bible through Man. Man was inspired to create the Scriptures from God through the influence of the Holy Spirit; Scripture was not created by any human being, rather it was translated by God through the Holy Spirit to Man (2 Pet. 1:20-21 New International Version). “If Men Are Involved, How Are There No Errors?”
Scripture opens with a witness to the act of God in creation. This fact points to us that understanding the world as the creation of the infinite-personal God is a fundamental starting point in constructing any kind of adequate theology. What is also clear is that it is important to get this understanding right, to the extent that we can do so. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen 1:1 HCSB) (Akin, Theology of the church). But with the revelation of the speaking God who has told us what he has done should make us want to please him each and every day and to show him we love him to.
Every denomination has differing beliefs about the Scriptures; for example, some would disagree with the statement that the Bible is inerrant. Instead of trusting that the Bible is without error, one may believe
Paul’s letter to the Romans presents a systematic approach to the Gospel. This makes the Gospel of Roman an important book when it comes to the Christian Worldview. The Book of Romans covers a wide array of topics that are important to believers to understand and to live by. These topics includes: the attribute and existence of God, origin of creation, problem of evil in conjunction to sin, solution of sin to reach salvation, ethics and morality and lastly hope for humanity/creation. This reflection paper will show what Paul teaches us in regards to these topics and how it is applied to Christian’s worldview.
As a person throughly studies the Words of God found in the Bible, one would find that there are many topics and doctrines contained within. One of the major doctrines or teachings found in Scripture is prophecy. Around 28 percent of the Bible is classified as prophecy. The men who wrote these prophecies did not write based off what they thought would happen. Neither did they write them after the events that were predicted took place as some critics of the Bible would claim. These men were inspired by an omnipotent, omniscient God Who knew the events that would take place in the world. After all, “Prophecy is written foreknowledge of the omniscience of our omnipotent God”
“A thousand times in history a baby has become a king but only once in history did a king become a baby.” The Bible and other written documentation was written by man, so people think it’s flawed and not the word of God. They’re not able to walk by faith and not by sight. This means that if they don’t see Jesus and the miracles that He performed, they don’t believe all the “stories” in the Bible happened in real life. People who believe in the Bible, walk by faith, meaning that they trust in God. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born of a virgin, died and was resurrected for the sake of all humanity.
Sara was at a coffee shop with a friend, Joanna, and started have a discussion. They start to talk about different things happening in the world and how they view them. They talked about how the world begin, how to treat people, and much more. This conversation went on for a while and Sara was using the Bible to back-up what she was saying, while Joanna had nothing to support what she believed in. Sara had a biblical worldview.
God’s word is God’s word, not to be changed, rewritten or altered in any fashion or form. Whatever I found that He told us, as Christians to do, I was more than willing to adhere to.
God may be the ultimate author of the Bible, but some people need more facts than that to understand that it is reliable. Some people say that the Bible contradicts itself. While it may seem that way, often they do not read the context it is in. The New Testament is harder to understand its reliability than the Old Testament because the majority are letters written to different churches. The Gospels also raise questions to its reliability because some seem to contradict
Some Christian people expect the Bible to form to the way they are currently living their life. This has been an occurrence all through time and not just a present action. Once they realize the Bible doesn’t form to their lives they try and make the Bible reasonable and change it in away that suits them. The Bible tells a story about how the world came to be what it is today, and the history behind humanity that shaped who we are. Making the Bible reasonable is a form of domesticating it and making it fit the world today. When people try and make the Bible reasonable they are trying to shape it to the current world and the standards that are currently popular. They do not care about the history behind the Bible they only want to focus on what
After a number of years have passed through the church, one would wonder how we can be certain that the right books make up the Bible. We have all of these translations and interpretations of Scripture, but how did we get the Bible itself? These are the many questions that make up many non-believers and possibly even many non believers today as well. I can speak for many church goers on the contrary, that have grown up in the church and they have not thought about the idea of the origin of the Bible. Either way, Christian or atheist, it is important to understand the origin of one 's beliefs. This leads to the basis of the foundation of why a Christian believes the truth of God’s word and then is able to faith their faith with others.
The bible was written as an account of what many viewed that God had accomplished so his actions and words could be passed on for generations. Some believe it is a literary account and some believe it is a historical account. The word of God in the bible comes in many forms and is left up to interpretation by the reader. Some believe that the word of God should be the only word and should be strictly followed. Some believe that the words are meant as a guideline to help us through life. Whatever your belief is you can always seem to find the meaning behind your belief through the word of God in the Bible.
