Why Read The Bible?

Tweet

Are You A Bible Reader? I'm a Bible reader and I am convinced that the Bible is God's ONLY message to us. The Bible is an ancient book and discoveries of ancient texts, have proven that it is basically, unchanged from ancient times. That makes sense to me because if God took the time to have the Bible written by 40 different men over a period of about 1500 years, then he would also preserve it for us. He would not ALLOW it to be changed. The Bible has many critics but has never been proven to be wrong. And now the Bible is available in hundreds of different languages, so it has been made available for all to read. The Bible was written in the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic languages originally. Then, in 1611, King James l of England called for the Bible to be TRANSLATED into English. This Bible is known as the King James Version. Since then, the Bible has been translated into hundreds of other languages. Right now, you can read the Bible in over 800 languages on a web site. https://www.jw.org All you have to do is click on “Bible” and then on the language tab. One of the problems I find to be true, is that most people don't read the Bible for themselves. They let someone else tell them what the Bible says and that is a dangerous thing to do, because the Bible says that "each one of us will render an account of ourselves to God." (Romans 14:12) So, that makes it clear that it is our responsibility to read the Bible for ourselves and not to depend on someone else to tell us what it says. Why trust another human to tell us what the Bible says, especially when humans disagree on what it says? The only way to find out what the Bible really says, is to read it for yourself. Only then, can you know for sure what God’s message is to humans. Now, that we live in “critical times, hard to deal with,” (2 Timothy 3:1-5) it’s even MORE important to know what God has planned for the future and what a person MUST do to survive.
