Great question! The Bible in a nutshell : * What is the Bible about: Redemption ♡The Whole Bible points fallen man to Jesus. ♡In the OT God promised to destroy the power of death. The NT tells how he did it. ♡In the OT God promised a Savior to take away the sins of humans, the NT tells how He did it. ◇ Beyond that it tells us who God is and how to live in righteousness (to become more holy and Christlike).  Here is a bit more clarity : For believers: What Christians need to gain from Scripture is really 4 things which the below expands a bit to show.  Scripture helps and shows us: *Growing to know our great Creator God *Knowing more about our Savior so we can be more like Him in holy living *Grow in holy living; living out the Communicable attributes (in righteousness) as we were made in God's image.  *Helps us Grow in the Fruit of the Spirit *Helps us Live out the greatest commandments; Love God & Love other humans. *Points out unrighteousness/sin, and le...

What people miss about the Bible The woman here rightly said she should know what is in the Bible so she can speak factually to Christians about it. Then she goes on to say shes horrified, having only got 400 pages in, and not even to the New Testament yet because its full of war and bad things... and has a meltdown. And didnt do a video after she read the whole Bible.  Shes emotional and letting her emotions run wild instead of rationally factually look at what's in there. She misses it completely.  How she missed the problem from jump is her problem. Those without spiritual eyes to see can't see.  Here is what you need to know: 1. God created everything perfect and good. 2. Man sinned, sin entered and now man is continually always thinking and doing evil. The Scriptures show the righteous following God, and the rest of evil humanity doing evil and being hurt by those doing evil. Thats why Gen 3 God promises the Messiah to restore believing man to a rig...

Q: What is a good way to use the Bible for a beginner- studier. I want to mark important things in the Bible but am not sure how to go about this. It could get messy fast or become 100% highlighted 😅. ---- Today is definitely a spiritual struggle. I was planning on doing a Bible study today, now I'm not feeling up to it. Is this what Paul means by not doing what he ought to do, yet knowing what he ought to do, but not doing it🙃😔?? I know I need to do this study, but I don't want to over a stupid reason - its sighhhh 😑😔. So there is a series called The Attributes of God by Steve Lawson and I wanted to do this study...So I have a Bible. Nice and shiny and not a mark in it. But I thought maybe I should start highlighting and making notes in my Bible so that years from now my Bible would be a testament to how much time I put into the Word. The reason why I'm not doing the study, is because I don't want to highlight and mark my Bible 🤣 and now I'm feeling very ...

Why did God give mankind a special revelation? What is the purpose of the Scriptures?  A: The Word starts at Creation and tells us of the Fall and sin. The point of the OT is to tell us that God promised to destroy the power of death, the NT tells us how He did it. The OT promises the Messiah to save us from our sins (the wages of sin is death, and the just punishment for sin is eternal damnation), and the NT reveals Him [Jesus], shows how He fulfilled the prophecies & promise of God. He [Jesus; The God Man] did the work God [the trinity] required to save us from the power of death and paid the high cost to redeem us from eternal Hell. But it can only be applied to your court case (legally) if you recieve it by obeying the Gospel. If you do [obey the Gospel] then you are saved; instantly - God forgives you, gives you spiritual life (transforms the inner man), gifts you eternal life, and adopts you as His child. He also immediately gifts you the Holy Spirit to indwel...

Fun Treasure Hunt thru Scripture: There were at least 3 places in Scripture where God used Quantum Leap (Science). List the 3 verses. Answers:  1. Holy Spirit moved Christ to Wilderness at the beginning.  Luke 4:1 2. Immediately the Boat arrived  John 6:21 3. Philip was moved by the Spirit as soon as the ethiopian left.  Acts 8:26-40, Verse 40.  4. The Rapture. Here one moment and in the twinkle of an eye gone and in Heaven.  5.

It is when the reality moves from here-- to --there without traversing the space in between. This is seen in Scripture and used by God. I am guessing Einstein never studied Scripture. Most people today don't even understand ...

In 2018 GQ magazine (Gentlemen’s quarterly) had foolishly put the Bible on the list of classic books (not) worth reading. Their article said the Bible is “repetitive, self-contradictory, sententious, foolish, and even at times ill-intentioned.”  They could not be more wrong. God’s word tells us of problems w/unbelievers: Scripture/God’s word explains the warped mindset GQ allowed to publish : “But a natural man (does not accept) the things of the Spirit of God, for they (are foolishness to him), and (he cannot understand them), because they… are (spiritually appraised).  (1 Corinthians 2:14) “natural man” (or natural person). This refers to the unconverted, (unsaved) who lack supernatural life and wisdom.  “spiritually appraised” (or spiritually discerned). Through illumination of the word, the Holy Spirit provides (His saints, i.e. Christians) the capacity… to discern divine truth (see Ps. 119:18), which the spiritually dead are unable to comprehend (cf. John 5:37–39; se...

Q: I got baptized when I was 14 years old, in 2000. I felt I was gung ho for the Lord! I prayed about and thought about what God would do before I did it. But, I had trouble holding to my faith. After I graduated high school I kinda left the church for a while. I felt so lost and like i was missing something. I knew that I needed to go back. I can’t remember the last time I opened my Bible or prayed to the Lord. How do I get back into a habit of doing those things? When I try to pray I feel silly and I don’t know where to start in my Bible! Thanks for any tips and tricks! A:Small yet determined steps. First ensure you were saved cuz many walk away cuz they were religious but not saved. Sin will keep you from the Bible, & the Bible will kerp you from sin Remember: the Bible is how God communicates with you, and prayer is you communicating with God.  Would your spouse think you love them if you never let them talk to you? Would they think you actually love them if you dont let...

What is the Bible ? Why do I ask that question? I have found a lot of people look on the Bible as just a guide book to life and/or a book of spiritual and moral matters. But the Bible is not just a book one adds to their thinking. The Bible over 3,000 times claims to be the Word of God. We are told that God knows everything, being infinite in knowledge and wisdom. “For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything” (1 John 3:20). “Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure” (Psalm 147:5). “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable” (Isaiah 40:28). The Bible is a revelation from God to man, from the one who knows all things. This means the Bible gives the key information God has revealed to us to enable us to have the right foundation to build the right way of thinking about eve...

Helps as you read the Bible  How often should a Christian read the Bible? Answer: Daily.  Reading Scripture every day is a basic practice of a Christian. God uses the Bible to communicate with us. We have conversations every day with our spouse or our best friend. Imagine never talking to the person you claim to love. Would you go a day or week without talking to your spouse? No way. They would think you do not really care about them if they never had conversations with you or werent allowed to talk to you, because you cut them off. Keeping the Bible closed is equal to saying  I dont want to hear from you!  No Christian would do that.  No Christian would only be open to hear from their spouse 1 day a week either. That would be a horrible relationship, and would show there's something really wrong with me if I did such a thing towards God.  If you have been neglecting God and keeping a wall up and communication off...you might want to re exa...

Claim: Was the Bible written long after the Apostles, and was it by second hand accounts? Also where is evidence I can look at (from history)? Facts: No.  The NT was written in the Apostles lifetime. They had oral culture, and were busy on missionary work and planting churches in the beginning. Then around q2 years later they writting down what God wanted current and future humans to know, to complete the Word of God.  At the right time God moved the Apostles by the Holy Spirit to write the NT, and did so in their lifetime. 1st hand accounts. One gospel account was written by someone who knew an Apostle and he investigated the claims of the Apostles and found them true. All 4 Gospels say the sane thing. The eye witness accounts written at diff times, for diff reasons, to diff audiences, by different men... say the same thing.   *  Scripture timeline You can investigate too. In depth evidences and research, history, historians (believers, non believers & athe...

You can use the Bible to prove it is true   Heres why.... You can look in the Bible and see it is true  How do you prove the Bible is true  Why the Bible is true  What about other religions and whats the oldest It is Not scientific to eliminate a piece of evidence while testing and looking at all evidence, to come to a conclusion, but thats what atheists try to do with the Bible.   The Bible proves itself based on what it reveals.  Tells origins of universe, earth, all creation in earth and humans.  It tells history, verified by Israeli historians, roman historians, by archeology, by prophecies made that were fulfilled, including all the ones about Jesus (which are astronomically impossible to fulfill, but He did,) it speaks to historical facts about Jesus (with evidence that exists outside the Bible that verifies it), and you have radical conversions by all who are born again, (Their life is radically altered at the moment they got sa...
