天下第一奇書-聖經 請點擊-附:從聖經看宇宙之最 聖經是一本最偉大的著作，是創造宇宙萬有的主宰給人類的一封信，內容是表明祂自己和人類的關係，說出祂對人類的慈愛和拯救，使世界上每一個人都與祂和好，脫離罪惡和魔鬼的關係，恢復人類因犯罪而失去天上榮耀尊貴的福份，成為祂的兒女，避免了將來永遠死亡的刑罰。 聖經又是宇宙的主宰自己向人類的啟示。祂特別揀選了四十多人，給他們經歷了一千多年才記錄完成。它影響了每個世代的人，聖經真是‘世界之最’的一本天下奇書，請參考下面的資料，就是一個明證： 最古的記錄 ━ 聖經首五卷書完成於三千六百多年前，末一卷啟示錄則完成於二千多年前，距今時日最古遠。 最適合時代 ━ 聖經雖完成於古代，但內容適合每個時代並每個人的需要；雖古老卻永久常新；年日雖久遠，但老少適宜。今日雖是科學猛進資訊發達的時代，但在電腦網路中，隨便可以找到無數論到聖經的文章，和很多各國聖經的譯本。聖經中有些話，看來像當天的新聞那樣新鮮。 最多人記錄 ━ 聖經有四十多位元記錄者，其中有上至尊貴的君王和首相，下至亡國的俘虜和監獄中被囚的人，又有專業者如醫生、律師、詩人、學者、士官、以及普通平民百姓如稅吏、漁夫、農人、牧人、工人等，這些人地位不同，環境也各異，其中分別完成於皇宮、監獄、荒島、曠野及普通民居。 最長久記錄 ━ 聖經是從頭一卷創世記至最後一卷的啟示錄，合共六十六卷而成的文庫，經一千六百多年的長時間才完成記錄。 最多的譯本 ━ 聖經原文以希伯來文和希臘文寫成，據統計全部或部分譯本的聖經，1984
年共有 1634 種語言的譯本已經完成，另有一千二百多種語言在翻譯中。世界有好幾個翻譯聖經的機構，十年前統計，單是‘威克厘夫聖經翻譯會’的工作人員，來自三十四個國家，共有二千零五十七人，工作分佈於四十六個國家中進行着。翻譯一種言語的新約聖經約需時十五年。現今電腦科技發達，比從前方便多了，但譯經的人，仍需住在沒有文字的土人部落中，先學會說話，然後造了文字，才翻譯聖經。 最準的預言 ━ 聖經中有三分一是預言。其中大多數按字面應驗了，只有少數的尚待應驗。（如主再來時將信徒卑賤的身體改變形狀，與基督榮耀的身體相似等預言尚未應驗。）主前（B.C.）有不同時代的先知預言主基督的身份，如降生在世生活，為世人的罪受苦受死、埋葬、復活、升天等預言，全部都應驗了。 1.關於以色列國的預言，因他們是 神特別揀選的民族，目的是使世人因他們而蒙福，可是他們對神頑梗悖逆。所以神預言他們： A.被分散在世界列邦中。（利26：33；申 28：64） B.在萬國中受大逼迫。（申 28：63/67） C.以色列國土荒涼。（耶 25：11） D.以色列民被保存不被同化。（利 26：44/45；民 23：9） E.神眷顧他們，使他們複國。（耶 32：37；申 30：3；結 11：17；20：34；36：24；37：21） 2.自從主前（B.C.）五百年前，猶太人被擄至巴比倫，七十年後，一部份人回國，但在主後七十年被羅馬人攻陷耶路撒冷，殺死二百萬人，其餘的人，餓死或被賣為奴，或被逐離國境，在天下萬國拋來拋去，在各國中受盡苦害，單是第二次世界大戰時，死在德國希特勒手下的人就有六百萬。 信實的神照祂的預言眷顧祂的選民。以色列國亡了二千五百多年，照預言的應許，
使他們在一九四八年五月十四日下午零一分複國了。當時，立刻遭周圍的各國攻擊，多年來雖經多次戰爭，但每次戰爭以色列國都大獲全勝。今日成為中東強國。可是，因他們尚未真心歸向眷顧他們的神，所以直到如今他們仍在戰爭的狀態下過活。 最深遠的影響 ━ 聖經對世界各方面都有很大的影響，現略述一、二： 1.對音樂方面: 許多有靈感而莊嚴偉大的樂章，如巴哈和海頓的交響樂，韓德爾莊嚴神聖的‘彌賽亞’神曲，和每間禮拜堂所唱的聖詩，都是取材於聖經的思想和題材而寫成的。（注一） 2.對藝術方面: 如米開蘭奇羅的‘摩西雕刻像’和其繪的‘聖潔家庭’，達文西的‘最後晚餐’，還有無數的藝術家，都是靠聖經提供，給以他們靈感，完成無價珍貴的作品。 3.對文學方面: 世界文壇中很多著名的文豪，如托爾斯泰、莎士比亞、歌德和雨果等，都是受聖經影響，而寫成偉大的著作。德國因聖經而統一了全國不同的方言；我國也因官話聖經的幫助，而推廣了今日我們所用的白話文。 4.對生活作息方面: 世界的西曆紀元，和每年的許多假期，都是以聖經中所載的主角━耶穌基督為中心，以祂的降世那一年，被世界萬國公認為紀元；因紀念祂降生的日子，稱為‘耶誕節’，許多人向親友互贈賀卡和互送禮物；每星期七日的第一日，是紀念祂受死而復活的日子，被稱為‘禮拜日’，世界許多國家的各行各業都放假休息。可惜，許多人在聖經影響下生活作息而慒然不知！ 5.對學術方面: 聖經中‘各從其類’四個字便推翻了達爾文的‘進化論’學說。筆者一位好朋友裴君，它是一位中國留學生，在加拿大
U.B.C. 研究‘進化論’的博士生，就因聖經而成為基督徒後放棄了學業。筆者曾勸他繼續研究下去，將來可以幫助其他受‘進化論’迷惑的人，他說：‘虛假的東西怎能研究得下去呢？’故改研究其他學科。 6.對政治方面: 很多西方國家，以推行自由、民主、人權為立國的根基，所以有林肯解放黑奴的壯舉。這都是因聖經的啟示而影響所致。因聖經啟示，人類是創造宇宙的主宰所創造的，在祂面前人人平等，誰都有至高者所賦予的權利和尊嚴。試看那些抵擋聖經的國家民族，他們的人民都在集權、窮困、迷信、落後和無秩序，
並道德低落的社會環境中生活，這是鐵一般擺在人人面前的事實。過去入籍成為加拿大公民時，都蒙法庭送一本新約聖經。我們想想看，為何不送一本加國憲法呢？大概是公民遵守聖經比憲法更重要吧!(注二)很多國家的國旗和國徽上，或明或暗繪有‘十’字的標誌，因‘十’字在聖經中有極大的意義。 7.對教育方面: 在蠻荒部落的土著，很多有言語而無文字，都是宣教士因翻譯聖經而為他們造字，有了聖經的教育，才漸漸開化，得以過着文明的生活；我國雖是有輝煌文化的古國，可惜教育並不普及，只有那些有權勢的富貴人家的子弟，才有讀私塾的機會，直至一八零七年開始，外國的傳道人把聖經譯成中文，為了傳揚聖經的真道，他們興辦教會學校使平民普遍受教育，以後逐漸擴展，才有大、中、小學等編制學校，教會學校是我國新學制的先鋒。 8.對社會方面: 單說我們的祖國，因聖經的傳到，社會才有大大的改良，如興辦慈善事業，改良各種民間蓄婢、纏足、納妾、早婚、留辮、迷信、留長指甲、殺女嬰等惡習；又開設醫院、養老院、孤兒院、濟良所（收容妓女、棄婦等）、盲啞學校、難民收容所、戒毒所、痲瘋病院、紅十字會等慈善機構。這都是我國近百多年來，因聖經影響而興起的社會慈善事業，現在我們的國家已邁向開明、進步、富庶了。聖經對過去掃除了那些敗壞的惡習，是有很大的幫助的。 最使人紮心 ━ 許多人聽見聖經斥責罪惡的話，便覺難過和紮心，因此有人起來攻擊和反對，亦有人因尋求離罪得救之法，而信了耶穌基督，悔改離棄罪惡，接受主耶穌為自己的救主和生命中的主；未悔罪的人，只‘同意’或‘知道’聖經的話，是一名‘教友’或‘掛名的基督徒’而已，所以一個真正的基督徒是遵行聖經怕犯罪的人。 最大能的書 ━ 許多在蠻荒野嶺中生活，未開化的部落土著民族，或在文明社會作奸犯科的罪魁毒梟，如香港的一位黑社會頭子，後來成為香港十大優秀有為青年之一，筆者也認識幾位元吸毒者，後來悔改戒毒，他們都是因聖經的話所感化而成為聖徒，只有聖經的大能才會改變人的心。 最使人安慰 ━ 人生於世，多數人面臨苦難痛苦的日子比平安喜樂的時候為多，因生離死別，或在生命中遭遇各種苦難和傷心不如意的事，使人絕望，痛不欲生，後因聽聖經的話，有榮耀的盼望而得安慰，回復生機，過着平安喜樂的人生。 最豐富的內容 ━ 聖經共六十六卷，一千一百八十九章，三萬多節，約九十三萬五千多字，其中包含歷史、詩歌、故事、預言、格言、傳記、書信、寓言、比喻、辯論、遊記、律法、禮儀、戲劇、哲學、地質、神學、文學、醫學、科學、商業、天文、地理、軍事、生理、數學、物理、人權、環保、道德律、優生學、心理學、考古學、勞工權益、資訊科技、謎語等包羅萬有的內容。 最珍貴的書 ━ 西元一四五零年，德國活版印刷術發明者哥登堡先生，第一次印刷就是聖經，被稱為‘哥登堡聖經’，現保存四、五十本，時值每本可能近百萬美元。又一九四七年在約旦曠野發現的聖經‘死海古卷’，被以色列國視為國寶，價值連城。 最平價的書 ━ 普通聖經的價錢若和等量大小篇幅的書比較， 價錢最平，如果有人沒有能力買，還有機構可以免費贈送；歐美各國的酒店裏，每間客房中都有一本聖經，讓旅客免費閱讀。 最神聖尊嚴 ━ 歐美有些國家的君皇或元首宣誓就職，或在法庭中的見證人，都按手於聖經上宣誓；太空人把聖經的話帶上太空和月球；聯合國大廈的基石上刻着聖經的話（以賽亞書二章四節），該大廈建造時把聖經裝在瓶內，置於地下的根基石穴中。在人類的行動生活中，有意無意地把聖經尊為真理的根基。 最深奧的書 ━ 世界上只有兩種文字-希伯來文和希臘文的每個字母，都有特定的數字代表，‘七’的數字在聖經被視為神聖的數字，在新舊約的聖經原文中，每個字每句話，都在嚴密的數學邏輯設計下完成的，整本聖經存在着億萬不同的數學模式，但都可以用‘七’除盡，就是目前精密度最高的電腦也無法達到的；全世界的神學院，主要就是研究聖經，入學的人要有大學程度才可入學，甚至有些人盡畢生光陰研究這本聖經；在世界各國的圖書館裏，有無數的著作去注釋聖經，亦難盡窺其奧。 最容易明白 ━ 不論未受教育的文盲村婦和荒山土人，或孩童稚子，都能明白聖經的真意。奇妙的聖經，有學問的人閱讀，不覺得它的記載顯淺，沒有學問的人閱讀，亦不覺得它的內容深奧，真是老少合宜，人人適用，聖經真是一本‘時不分古今，地不分南北，放之四海而皆準。’的奇妙天書。 最簡單主題 ━ 聖經中只有一個中心的主題，就是宣告創造宇宙萬有的主宰-真神，對全世界的人的大愛，‘神愛世人，甚至將祂的獨生子（耶穌基督）賜給他們，叫一切信祂的，不至滅亡，反得永生。’ 最蒙福資訊 ━ 聖經向人類的宣告，是最簡單易明、易接受、易相信的福音資訊：‘你若口裏認耶穌為主，心裏信神叫祂從死裏復活，就必得救。’ 最嚴重警告 ━ 聖經警告人類：‘罪的工價乃是死。’罪人若不悔改歸向真神，將來和魔鬼一同被扔在硫磺的火湖裏，晝夜受痛苦，直到永永遠遠！宇宙的主宰藉聖經將人類前途的生、死、禍、福宣告出來，讓人取捨、並不勉強。 最多人攻擊 ━ 宇宙的主宰（相信聖經的人稱為天父），祂藉聖經，將人的本性和罪惡暴露無遺，故犯罪悖逆的人憎惡聖經，攻擊聖經，正如違法的人憎惡律法、員警和監獄一樣，甚至現在看這篇文字的人，或者也有很多人對聖經反感呢？聖經的啟示說：‘他們無故的恨我’，又說：‘但這些人好像沒有靈性，生來就是畜類，以備捉拿宰殺的。他們譭謗所不曉得的事，正在敗壞人的時候，自己必遭敗壞。’（約15：25；彼後2：12）反對聖經的人，並沒有詳細研究過聖經便盲目反對。 最多人謬解 ━ 聖經也預言說：‘因為時候要到，人必厭煩純正的道理，耳朵發癢，就隨從自己的情欲，增添好些師傅。並且掩耳不聽真道，偏向荒渺的言語。’（提後4：3-4）自從人跟隨魔鬼犯罪之後，便有了牠悖逆真神的性格，除了那些真正信靠順服主耶穌基督，悔改重生得救，脫離魔鬼網羅的真正基督徒外，所有世界上的人，或明或暗，都是跟隨魔鬼去抵擋神和祂的真道-聖經。所以，在基督真道的範圍內，也有許多異端邪教出現，他們是撒旦的差役，散佈魔鬼的邪道，打起基督教的招牌而販賣毒害人靈魂的毒藥。這些人在聖經中斷章取義，憑私意謬解真理的聖經。
在世界上明目張膽散佈屬靈的毒素，謀殺人寶貴靈魂的異端邪道有:羅馬天主教﹑守望台﹑摩門教﹑安息日會﹑基督教科學會﹑文鮮明的統一教﹑假靈恩方言派﹑新神學派等;在中國大陸流行的有:東方閃電﹑常受主的呼喊派﹑被立王(主教派)﹑靈靈教﹑三班僕人﹑新約使徒教會﹑門徒會﹑重生派(包括:哭重生﹑生命會﹑真理會﹑全範圍教會)﹑擊鼓跳舞派等。可憐這些落在魔鬼的矇騙和轄制裏的人，都是他們沒有按正意分解真理的道之過。凡追求信主的人都要提防這些異端為要，而我們真正屬主基督的聖徒都要和他們分別，在真道上站立得穩，以生命去見證主基督的真道，也為這些陷入魔鬼迷惑的人禱告，求主救他們脫離牠的網羅。 最多的毀壞 ━ 歷數千年來，聖經經過無數次的毀壞和列為禁書，翻譯聖經的人和遵行聖經者，有些受嚴刑，被火燒死，在鬥獸場中，被野獸撕食，忍受戲弄、鞭打、捆鎖、監禁、被石頭打死、被鋸鋸死、被刀殺死、受盡各種嚴刑。甚至現今有些國家的政權，明文不准聖經進口，不准人民公開宣傳聖經所記的真道，不准十八歲以下的青少年人，到禮拜堂去聽道和學習聖經；單是在十年的文革中，紅衛兵查禁和毀壞基督徒所有的聖經，和講論聖經的書報文字，並宣講聖經的禮拜堂。直到如今，仍有許多人因聖經而受逼害！ 但奇妙的聖經，今日仍然是： 最多人喜愛 ━ 一本最好的書，普通人讀兩三次便無意再讀，但真正的基督徒，一生天天誦讀聖經，終老不相離，甚至有人將整本新約聖經二十二萬八千多字，全部能背誦出來。 最多人購買 ━ 聖經整本或單行本，全世界每年銷售上億本。 最多人傳揚 ━ 不論山林、海島、蠻荒野嶺或文明都市，自由或極權的國家中，都有數不盡的傳道人或基督徒，在世界各處宣揚這本聖經中所記載的主人翁-耶穌基督。 最多人見證 ━ 古今中外有無數的人，為了見證聖經中的真道，不惜流自己的鮮血，犧牲自己的生命，或受極其殘酷的苦刑，古時相信遵守聖經的人有很多人殉道；如果打開今日的報章，有時也會看見有人因此而受苦和監禁的新聞。 最多人閱讀 ━ 全世界有數不清的基督徒，每日早晚讀聖經，有的學校把聖經列為必修的科目。 最多人講論 ━ 全世界每一間禮拜堂，每禮拜日都以聖經為指標，向人宣講真道；每個真正的基督徒在平日的生活中，也常找機會向人談論聖經，想很多讀者中，也有此經歷吧！ 最多人研究 ━ 除了在禮拜堂中講論，在神學院研究外，單是北美很多大學和中學，都有查經班或基督徒團契，他們每禮拜中有一次聚會，彼此研究和討論聖經。 啊！一本這麼奇妙的聖經，它和我們有什麼關係呢？答案，聖經是我們每個人的‘人生南針’。我們豈可輕易忽略它呢？ F有一句世界名言說：‘聖經使人離開罪惡，罪惡使人離開聖經。’ （注一）：‘彌賽亞’神曲，全部曲詞是以聖經的話串寫而成的偉大聖樂，若在音樂會演唱，唱到‘哈利路亞’大合唱時，聽眾要全體肅立，直至完場。 （注二）：美加兩國政府，通過違背聖經的律法，所以道德低落，國運漸漸走下坡，這是人人眼見的事實。 |

The First Book of Wonder ━The
Bible The Bible is the greatest piece of writing in the world. It is a
letter to men from the Lord━Creator
of the universe. Its content is to express the relationship between God,
Himself, and men. It tells of His love and salvation to mankind; that
everyone in the world can break the relationship with sin and Satan and be
reconciled to Him; that mankind can be restored to the heavenly blessing of honour and glory that they lost because of sin and become
the children of God, thus escaping the future punishment of eternal death. The Bible is also the revelation to mankind from the Lord of the
universe. Over forty people were selected as recorders and the record was
finished in approximately a thousand years. It affects people of every
generation. The Bible is truly “The world’s book of wonder.” The references listed below are proofs of evidence: The
Oldest Record ━ The
first five books of the Bible were finished more than 3,600 years ago and the
last book of the Bible━The Revelation, was finished more
than 1,900 years ago. It is the oldest book in the world. The Fittest for the Age ━ Although
the Bible was written in ancient times, its contents fit the need of people
in every age. It is old and yet new. In an age of rapid science and
technology advancements, we can easily find many articles about the Bible and
the various translated texts of different countries from an Internet search.
Some of the recordings of the Bible are as fresh as the news of the day. The
Most Chroniclers ━ The Bible has over 40
chroniclers, ranging from a king and prime minister to captives and
prisoners; from professionals like doctors, lawyers, poets, scholars,
officials to ordinary people like tax collectors, fishermen, farmers,
shepherds and workers. These chroniclers varied in status and situations and
their works were completed in palaces, prisons, deserted islands, wilderness
and homes respectively. The
Longest Record ━ The Bible has 66 books altogether
from Genesis to the Revelation. The recording took more than 1,600 years to
complete. The Most Translations ━
The Bible was originally written in Hebrew and Greek. Statistics of 1984
showed that the Bible.was translated into 1,634
languages including whole and partially translated versions while more than
1,200 languages were in translation process. There are a few Bible
translation organizations in the world. The statistics of Wycliffe Bible
Society several years ago, showed that 2,057 people
coming from 34 countries were working for the society in 46 countries. It
takes 15 years to translate a New Testament Bible. However, with the advanced
computer technology today, it is much more convenient. Translators are
required to live in areas where there is no written language. The process
would involve learning the oral language followed by developing the written
language, prior to the translation work. The Most Exact Prophecy ━ One-third of the Bible has to do
with prophecy. Most of the prophecies were fulfilled literally and only a few
are waiting to be realized. E.g. The transformation of the lowly body of
believers into a glorious body at the Lord's coming and prophecies of the
like. Prophets of different ages (B.C.) had prophesied about the Lord Jesus,
His birth and life on earth, His suffering and death for sin of mankind, His
burial, resurrection and ascension. These prophecies were all fulfilled. 1.
Prophecy on a. Be scattered among the nations. (Lev. 26:33; Deut 28:64) b. Be persecuted among all nations. (Deut, 28:36-67) c. The d. Israelites as a people were preserved and not be assimilated.
(Lev. 26:44-45; Num 23:9) e.
The nation would be restored because of God's regard for them. (Jer.32:37;
Deut. 30:3; Ezek 11: 17, Ezek 20:34, 36:24. 37:21 ) 2.
Since 200 B.C., the Jews were exiled to The
faithful God has regard for His chosen people according to His prophecy.
Israel was destroyed as a nation for over 2,500 years, in the promise of
God's prophecy, was restored as a nation on The Most Far-reaching Influence ━
The Bible has great bearings on the world in various aspects. Some examples
are listed below: 1.
Music: Much of
the inspired and grand compositions, like the symphony composed by Bach and
Hayden and the solemn and sacred “Messiah” composed by Handal,
as well as the hymns sung at churches, had themes and topics taken from the
Bible. (Note 1) 2.
Art: The Bible
provided inspiration to many artists in completing their masterpieces, among
them, “Colossal Moses” by Michelangelo and his painting, “Holy Family” and da Vinci's “The Last Supper.” 3.
Literature:
Famous world writers like Tolstoy and Shakespeare wrote their great works
under the inspiration of the Bible. 4.
Daily Living:
The start of the world calendar and the institution of many public holidays
were based on the character of the Bible-Jesus Christ as the focus. The
beginning of A.D, originated from the date of Jesus' birth. “Christmas”
started as the date to commemorate His birth and many people exchange gifts
and cards on this day. The first day of the week “Sunday” is a day to
remember His resurrection from the dead and is a day of rest for many
vocations in many countries. Yet, many people fail to realize that they are
actually living under the influence of the Bible. 5.
Academic: The
phrase in the Bible, “after their kind” repudiates 6.
Politics: Many
western countries founded their nations on democracy, freedom and human
rights based on the teachings of the Bible. 7.
Education: In some
barbaric indigenous tribes, they have the spoken language and not the written
word. Missionaries need to translate the Bible and so formed writings for
them. With the Biblical education, these tribes became developed and lived in
a civilized manner. Although 8.
Society: In China,
due to the spread of the Gospel, society was greatly changed. There were
great improvements on organized charities, servant system, foot-binding on
women, polygamy, youth marriage, wearing of long hair, superstition, killing
of female babies, etc. Different types of institutions were also set up:
hospitals, senior homes, orphanages, shelters for the needy, special schools,
homes for refugees, etc, and various charitable organizations like the Red
Cross were developed. The
Most Convicting ━
Many people after listening to the Biblical teachings against sin,
feel sorry and convicted. Some would try to oppose and attack. Some after
finding out the way to be save from sin, believed in the Lord Jesus, repented
and abandoned sin. They accepted the Lord Jesus as their saviour
and Lord of life. People unrepentant of sin would only “acknowledge” or
“know” the words of the Bible; they are just churchgoers of Christians in
name. A real Christian is one who obeys the Bible and therefore afraid of
sinning. The
Most Powerful ━
The words in the Bible has power to change people whether they are the
barbaric indigenous people or the drug lords in the civilized society. In The
Most Comforting ━
For most people, life is more about sufferings and difficulties than
peace and joy. The pain of separation from loved ones, the various
frustrations and painful experiences often make one feel disheartened and
hopeless. But after hearing the words of the Bible, one can be greatly
comforted and be restored to a life of joy and peace because he now knows he
has a glorious hope ahead. The
Richest Content ━
The Bible has 66 books with 1,189 chapters, over 30,000 verses and
approximately 935,000 words. Its contents includes all aspects: history,
poetry, stories, prophecies, proverbs, biographies, epistles, fables,
parables, debates, travelogues, laws, rituals, dramas, philosophy, geology,
theology, literature, medical knowledge, science, business, astrology,
geography, military,
physiology,
mathematics, physics, human rights, environmental studies, moral laws, eugenics, psychology, archaeology,
employee rights, information technology, puzzles etc. Such a variety of content. The
Most Precious ━ In 1,450, J. Gutenberg of The
Most Affordable ━
Compared to books of the same volume, the Bible is the most
inexpensive. There are organizations that give away Bibles to people who
cannot afford them. In the hotels of the The
Most Divine ━
In some of the European countries, Emperors or Prime Ministers put
their hands on the Bible when they take an oath for service, as do witnesses
during court proceedings. The Bible is also important during outer space
exploration as astronauts brought the Bible with them. When the foundation
stone of the The
Most Profound ━ Hebrew and Greek are the only two
languages that have each alphabet corresponding to a numerical figure. Seven
is seen as a divine number in the Bible. In the original language of the Old
and New Testament, every word and phrase is composed under the design of
mathematical logic. The whole Bible contains billions of mathematical modes,
which are all divisible by seven. Even the most advanced computer cannot make
such a design. The main focus of study in theological seminaries is the
Bible. In order to begin studying in the Seminary, people usually need to
hold a degree. There are people who devote their whole research to the Bible.
In many libraries of the world, there are innumerable books on expounding the
Bible. Yet, its profoundness still cannot be fathomed. The
Most Easily Understood ━ Illiterate people from villages
or the uncivilized world, infants or young children, could also understand
the true message of the Bible. The amazing Bible-the educated would not find
its record superficial and the uneducated would not find its content profound.
Its content fits people of different ages. The Bible is an amazing book that
transcends time, space and age. The
Simplest Theme
━ The Bible has only one central
theme: to proclaim to men the great love of the true God, Lord of the universe.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to them, that
whoever believes should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) The
Most Blessed Message
━ The Bible proclaims to men the
simplest, easiest to understand, believe and accepted Gospel message: “lf you
confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God has
raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ” The
Most Serious Warning ━ The Bible warns mankind that:
“The wages of sin is death. ” lf a sinner does not repent and turn to the
living God, he would be thrown into the lake of fire, together with Satan to
suffer day and night unto eternity. Through the Bible, the Lord of the
universe proclaims the prospects of life and death; bless and curse before
men and let them make a free choice. The
Most Opposition ━ The Lord of the universe (whom
believers of the Bible called the Heavenly Father) exposed unhesitatingly
men's nature and sins, through the Bible. Therefore, the obstinate sinners
would hate the Bible and attack it; just like the law-breakers would hate the
law, police and prison. Those who are reading the article may perhaps also
feel repulsive about the Bible. As the Bible records: “They hated me without
a cause.” (John 15:25) and “But these, like natural brute beasts made to be
caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and
will utterly perish in their own corruption. ” (2 Peter 2: 12). Those who
oppose the nibble usually attack blindly and have not studied the Bible in
detail. The
Most Misinterpreted
━ The Bible has prophecies that:
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but
according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will
heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the
truth, and be turned aside to fables.”(2 Timothy 4:3-4) After men followed
Satan to sin, they begot its character of disobedience to God. All people in
the world except those who repented and believed in the Lord Jesus, would
follow Satan in one way or another to oppose God and His truth-the Bible.
Even in the Christian circle, there are many cults who are actually
messengers of Satan. They spread the teachings of Satan in the name of
Christianity and poison many souls. These people explain the Bible out of
context and interpret the Bible according to their own selfish desires. The
known cults that spread the poisonous teaching to kill souls include: The
Roman Catholic Church, The Watch Tower, Mormonism, The Seven Day Adventist,
Christian Science, Rev. Moon And His Unification Church, The
Fake Charismatics, Neo Theology, etc. There are
also many cults that are popular in |
