HOLY BIBLE

In late 4^th century, St. Jerome of Stridon who was a Christian Priest, Confessor, Theologian and Historian translated the whole Hebrew Greek Bible to Latin which is called a Vulgate.

In 1383, the Latin Bible was translated to Vulgate by John Wycliffe who was an English scholastic philosopher, theologian, biblical translator, reformer, Catholic priest, and a seminary professor at the University of Oxford. He became an influential dissident within the Roman Catholic priesthood during the 14th century and is considered an important predecessor to Protestantism. On 28 December 1384, John Wycliffe died.

The Bible testifies to the One God, creator, and supporter of the universe.

Authority of the Bible

Authority resides in the inspired word of God (the Bible) interpreted by the Spirit of God working through spirit-taught human agents. Orthodox Protestantism differs from Catholicism in that it claims no authority other than Canonical Scripture as the voice of the Holy Spirit.

God’s inspiration makes the Bible a unique word of God, not just a book containing God’s words, so it is different from any other sacred or secular book. It is the inspiring revelation of God's saving plan and purpose on behalf of humanity in Christ, not the revelation of natural science or secular history. Inspiration refers to the influence that God exerted on the human authors of the Bible so that their words and thoughts recorded in the original Scriptures were without error (see 2 Timothy 3:16; John 10:35; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

Criticism:
God’s inspiration and revelation only cover the original works, Since God directs this process, not only can the high accuracy of the transmitted text be expected, but the text criticism also must prove this fact. The discovery of transcription errors that may have penetrated into the transmitted text is an activity that belongs to the field of low-level criticism and belongs to the legitimate work of well-known scholars.

The so-called scientific differences are due to flawed scientific theories or insufficient explanations of biblical ways of thinking and a lack of cultural understanding of biblical times. So-called historical errors can be caused by factors such as incorrect textual traditions, or incorrect interpretations of historical or archaeological evidence or of the biblical text itself.

The Old Testament was written almost entirely in Hebrew, which is a Semitic dialect similar to Phoenician and Ugaritic. The only part that is written in Aramaic (another Semitic language similar to Hebrew) Ezr 4:8-6:18; 7:12-26; Dan 2:4-7:28, and Jer 10:11. The New Testament is written entirely in Greek. Archaeology shows that this is the common daily language (koine) of the contemporary Graeco-Roman world.

"The word" Bible "refers to the Old and New Testaments that are recognized and used in Christian churches. Judaism only accepts the Old Testament.

There is only one Bible that is unmatched. Because
(1) it is a revelation of God.

(2) "The breath of God (2 Timothy 3:16)

(3) Clarify in detail the eternal plan and purpose of God.

(4) It centers on the incarnate God, Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind (Hebrews 1:1-2).

There were many "Herods" and some are spoken of in the New Testament, which can be confusing. The name “Herod” is mentioned 40 times in the New Testament.

THEME:	Perhaps without exception far more could be written than is written.
DATE WRITTEN:	There are different opinions when some of the books were written. The dates given are the most probable, starting with the first.
DATES COVERED:	There are disagreements among scholars, in some cases, regarding the time span some books cover. When this occurs, the most probable date is listed first.

Spiritually, Jerusalem, and in particular, Mount Moriah (i.e., the Temple Mount), is considered the most important place on earth, for the following reasons:

According to the Jewish sages, God began the creation of the universe there, and the bedrock at Moriah is called Even ha-Shetiyah, “the Foundation Stone,” referring to the creation of the earth on the First Day (Isaiah 28:16).

THE APOSTLES of Jesus Christ

The Weight of Glory:-
*******************

"The Moral Law tells us the tune we have to play: our instincts are merely the keys..."

"The proper rewards are not simply tacked on to the activity for which they are given, but are the activity itself in consummation."

"You and I have need of the strongest spell that can be found to wake us from the evil enchantment of worldliness."
"Perfect humility dispenses with modesty."

"If God is satisfied with the work, the work may be satisfied with itself."

"When humans should have become as perfect in voluntary obedience as the inanimate creation is in its lifeless obedience, then they will put on its glory, or rather that greater glory of which Nature is only the first sketch."

The Bible was written by about thirty-nine persons over a period dating from about 1700 B.C. to about 100 A.D.We are told it is the Word of God approximately 2,500 times.

Throughout history, there have been a large number of people who have contributed significantly to our understanding of God and how He works. These theologians have shed light on religious and spiritual matters, and even directed the course of human history. Learning about these theologians can be a great way to help you find out more about your own faith.

If you are interested in learning more about theology and spiritual traditions, you can read the words of the great theologians. Often, we focus on Christian theologians, since here in the West Christian theology has had a profound influence on society. This list focuses mostly on great Christian theologians, but also includes some influential non-Christian theologians. Here are 40 great theologians from throughout history:

Let us now look at the prophecies regarding that nation Israel which have already been fulfilled.

1. Rejection of Christ foretold :- Isa 53:1-3, Psa 118:22 - 'One whom the nation abhorreth' Isa 49:7

In 303 C.E., during the "Great Persecution" of Christians, the Roman emperor Diocletian ordered the destruction of Christian books. But only ten years later—following his vision of the Cross and subsequent victory in battle—Emperor Constantine granted religious toleration throughout the Western Empire. This toleration was extended in 324, when he united the empire's two halves, establishing a new "Rome" at Constantinople.

Constantine (died 337) and his successors convened councils to determine the nature of Christian belief; many churches were founded, all requiring collections of Christian texts. In 332 C.E., for example, Constantine commissioned fifty copies of Christian scriptures for his foundations from the biblical scholar Eusebius of Caesarea (circa 260—339). Christian writings began to be gathered together in large, expensive books, appropriate for use in prestigious surroundings.

From Scroll to Codex: The earliest Hebrew scriptures

Until the fourth century, the standard form of a book for people was not a book at all. Rather, it was a roll—also called a scroll or bookroll—made of papyrus or animal skin on which a text was inscribed by hand. The earliest books of the Hebrew Bible survive today in scroll form. Known as the Dead Sea Scrolls, they were discovered in the Judaean Desert in the 1940s and include the Second Isaiah Scroll.

Bible cities:

It only takes a few moments to realize there are places mentioned in the Bible that we cannot find on a map, today. Over the years, these places have changed names. You can tell how some of them have changed because they still look a little or sound a little like their ancient names. However, some of them don't look or sound anything like the original names. Please find below a list of ancient biblical countries and their current names.

The story is told of an old man who lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning, Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading from his old worn-out Bible. His grandson who wanted to be just like him tried to imitate him in any way he could.
