Why Did God Gift us the Bible
Do you read the Bible ever? If so, why? What is the message? When YOU read any book what is you reason for taking the time to read? Enjoyment, information, ???? Several years ago, perhaps 10, I resolved to read through The Bible every year. I must be on my tenth trip through. Every year I change the reading plan and/or the translation. This year I am reading from beginning to end in The Message. I read to learn more about God and the history of God's creation. When reading there exists a great temptation to interpret and translate. I also gain by learning more about why God created. This year I've had the revelation of trying to discover the underlying foundations and principles of God's TRUTH. My feeble attempts to rephrase and rewrite usual mask and confuse other listeners and readers. Maybe I'm smarter and wiser Han some other readers but, I'm certainly not wiser or smarter than God. Where do I get this arrogance? Any rephrasing or rewriting I do will for sure be less clear and certainly fall short of the original created by the Creator. Jesus summarizes all the writings, laws and prophets in just two commands. Is God's Word just one Truth, "JESUS"?
Hebrews chapter 4 seems to be mostly about this very topic.
