Lesson 2 - If the Bible were a person...
If the Bible were a person, you could ask him
questions and he would tell you what he thinks.
Let’s pretend the Bible is a real person and that
you’re going to ask him questions. The only way
that he can answer you is by quoting from his own
pages. In this way, he is telling you what he thinks.
In this way you will know what is in him. Know that
the Bible is not afraid to tell you exactly what he
really thinks. He will not hide anything from you.
Here are questions that you might ask the Bible.
YOU ASK: Who wrote you?
BIBLE SAYS: “Know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Pe 1:20, 21). “The gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it” (Ga 1:11, 12).
YOU ASK: Why should I believe you?
BIBLE SAYS: “These have been written that you may believe... and that believing you may have life” (Jn 20:31). “All the utterances of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverted in them” (Pr 8:8).
YOU ASK: Why do so many phony people teach the Bible?
BIBLE SAYS: “A pretext for greed... seek glory from men, either from you or from others” (1 Thess 2:5, 6).
