The Bible is the word of God …

All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults and giving instructions for right living so that the person who serves God may be fully qualified and equipped to do every kind of good deed. 2 Timothy 3:16 No prophetic message ever came just from the will of man, but men were under the control of the Holy Spirit as they spoke the message that came from God. 2 Peter 1:21 The Bible is the word of God …

The Bible: God’s facebook … in the words of men

There isn’t enough time for me to speak of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets. Through faith they fought whole countries and won. They did what was right and received what God had promised. They shut the mouths of lions, put out fierce fires, escaped being killed by the sword. They were weak, but became strong; they were mighty in battle and defeated the armies of foreigners. Through faith women received their dead relatives back to life. Other, refusing to accept freedom, died under torture in order to be raised to a better life. Some were mocked and whipped and others were put in chains and taken off to prison. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed by the sword. They went round clothed in the skins of sheep or goats – poor, persecuted and ill treated. The world was not good enough for them! They wandered like refuges in the deserts and hills, living in caves and holes in the ground. What a record all of these have won by their faith! Yet they did not receive what God had promised, because God had decided on an even better plan for us. His purpose was that only in company with us would they be made perfect. Hebrews 11:32:40
