I love reading the Bible
It is my passion
It is unique in its continuity. If just 10 people today were picked who were from the
same place,
born around the
same
time, spoke the same language, and made about the same amount of money, and were asked to write on just one
controversial subject, they would have trouble agreeing with each other. But the Bible stands alone. It was
written
over
a period of about 1,500 years by more than 40 writers from all walks of life. Some were fishermen; some were
politicians. Others were generals or kings, shepherds or historians. They were from three different continents,
and
wrote in three different languages. They wrote on hundreds of controversial subjects yet they wrote with agreement
and
harmony. They wrote in dungeons, in temples, on beaches, and on hillsides, during peacetime and during war. Yet
their
words sound like they came from the same source. So even though 10 people today couldn’t write on one
controversial
subject and agree, God picked 40 different people to write the Bible—and it stands the test of time.
