  4. The Bible… • Over 40 different authors • Over 1,500 years • In 3 different languages • On 3 different continents • Not one contradiction or mistake

  5. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

  9. 2. Men wrote it down Written Inspiration is not “Mechanical Dictation” God did not dictate revelation to be written down word for word. He inspired the writers to express ideas in a way that fully captured God’s intent but retained the writer’s personality. “Verbal-Plenary Inspiration”

  10. John 1:1 & 14 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

  12. 3. The writings were copied and circulated Habakkuk 2:2 - Then the LORD answered me and said: "Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. The original writings or “autographs” were inspired, not the copies or “manuscripts.”

  21. 5. The writings were “Canonized” To “Canonize” is to “confirm that it is authentic” 1 John 4:1 -Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
