Bible Discussion Thread

The Bible is truly a controversial piece of literature! It is one of the oldest manuscripts known to man. And what makes it so controversial ---is the fact that it claims to be the word of God. And the fact, that it was dictated to holy prophets, by the spirit of God. Also, a lot of the Bible is written from eyewitness accounts. A long with being a spiritually influenced piece of literature.

And it takes spiritually influenced people to comprehend what it is saying. And people who have not received Jesus as their Lord and savior, and filled with the Holy Spirit, cannot comprehend the Bible, because it is spiritually discerned, so it is foolishness to them.

The Bible says in first Corinthians chapter 2 verse 14 "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God for they are foolishness onto him neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned"

I have heard people say "I've read the Bible" --- wonderful, but there is a big difference between reading and studying!

It's something that requires a serious lifelong commitment and even if we read the Bible every day for many years we won't ever know everything about it but I think that's a good thing . It's the fact that there is always something new to learn that helps to keep me interested and focussed and wanting to read it every day .
