Introducing the Bible

The Christian cannon of scripture is called the Bibles. The Bible’s Old Testament is also the cannon of Jewish scripture. The Bible is a collection of 66 books. The Old Testament consists of 39 books and the New Testament consists of 27 books. The Bible is most printed widely distributed book ever both on and off line and it has been translated into more languages than any other book.

 The Bible is more than a collection of religious writings. It is not a collection of myths nor a mixture of myth and history. The Bible is consists of history, law, poetry, prophecy, wisdom, doctrine and theology. No other ancient historical document is as well persevered as the Bible since it has been carefully copied from the originals and carefully translated into many languages. The Bible’s historical accounts are unusually honest for ancient historical accounts since it lacks the flattering distortions of leaders found in other cultures. The Bible openly depicts the failings of even the godliest of kings such as David.

The Bible is the most beloved loved book ever written being cherished by millions of Christians who read and live by the Bible. Ironically the Bible is the most heated book ever written since those who hate Christians also tend to hate the Bible. It contuses to exist despite numerous efforts to destroy it by burning it, banning it and attaching its legitimacy

The Bible is the Word of God written by God through human authors through divine inspiration of their vary words making it infallible. God’s preservation of his word explains why it is so well preserved.

Absolute Truth

One thing Christians clearly believe in is absolute truth that is because the bible is held to be the source of absolute truth. There are those that claim that there is no absolute truth. However the illogic such a statement is obvious since even if you don’t know what the absolute truth is it must by definition exist.
Furthermore, the statement “There is no absolute truth” is a self refuting statement, since it is itself an absolute statement. The point is that for it to have any chance of being true there has to be absolute truth, which makes the statement wrong.

So yes there definitely is absolute truth and than the Lord God, we can know what it is through the His written word the Bible.

What is Prayer?

A common misunderstanding about prayer is too thing that it is about asking God for things. This false attitude has been a source of ridicule from scoffers and anguish among Christians. While true prayer does involve bring petitions before God that is only a small part of it. It is like say that cars exist to burn gasoline.

True payer is about communing with God not just asking him for stuff no matter how important that stuff may be. True payer involves praising and worshiping God and it is effective even when we make no request of any kind. It is about getting close to God in a personal way and having a relationship with him.

So next time you pray don’t ask God for a single thing, just praise and talk to Him like you would any Earth bound friend.
