2 Thematic Studies In Bible Basics
FIRST PRINCIPLES OF THE ORACLES OF GOD Thematic Studies In Bible Basics

3 Lesson 4 Ù The Bible…The Only Book
“Publishing Facts” about the Bible… Greatest best-seller of all time Translated into more languages than any other book ever written The most “discussed” literary work…from both a positive (accepted) & negative (rejected) viewpoint

4 Lesson 4 Ù The Bible…The Only Book
Given such “publishing facts,” one would expect the vast majority of its owners & readers to have a deep, reverential awe for it However, that is not the case Given how most “Bible owners & readers” live morally and practice their religion, they actually show a lack of respect for the “Book of books”

5 Lesson 4 Ù The Bible…The Only Book
How one views the Bible determines… …what he is morally, socially, religiously …where he will spend his eternity Man must realize the only way for any of us to know what God expects of us is for Him to tell us Ù the Bible is such a “message”

6 Lesson 4 Ù The Bible…The Only Book
God has indeed told us His will for us Cor 2: Eph 3:1-5 The theme of this lesson will be to prove the Bible to be God’s only book It has no predecessor, successor Mt 12:31-32 As His only message, it is authoritative

7 Lesson 4 Ù The Bible…The Only Book
The Source Of The Bible Before any discussion begins, all must agree with the premise The Bible Comes From God Man’s quest Ù find “the” book from God that will instruct him on how to live, worship, etc. Two ways to accomplish this goal

8 Lesson 4 Ù The Bible…The Only Book
The Source Of The Bible Two ways to accomplish this goal: Read every book ever written…eliminate one by one all books determined not to be “the” book Physically impossible Divinely warned against such a mindset cp. Eccl 12:11-12

9 Lesson 4 Ù The Bible…The Only Book
The Source Of The Bible Two ways to accomplish this goal: Find “the” book that satisfies all demands for Divine authenticity…reject all others Very possible…very “do-able” The Bible claims to be “that book” cp. Jer 1:9 1 Thess 2: Tim 3:16-17
