What is
the Bible?
This
is the word of God to a man. To learn God without reading His word is
impossible. “Holy
men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit ”
(2Pet.1:21). Approximately 40 men wrote the Bible from 1513 BC up to 98 AD (in
total 1600 years), but despite of the break
in time and different educational level of the people, who wrote it , the Bible
represents by itself as a single unit, what would never
happen with any other book. All the literary heritage that
we posses and which was exposed to processing and copying have reached us
in a changeable way. The first 39 books of the Bible were written in
Hebrew, last 27 - in Greek. The language varied, and it was becoming more and more difficult to read. Therefore it was translated
into different languages.
For
many times there was someone who tried to prove that the Bible was simply a
fiction, a fairy tale. However through centuries and millenniums, through
mistrust, cynicism and check-ups the word of
God came to us pure. All the attempts to subject the
truthfulness of the Bible to doubt were
totally broken.
Between
1947 and 1955 the so-called Manuscripts of the Dead sea were found. They were
produced 100- 200 years before
the birth of Jesus. One of
the scroll was the copy of the book Isaiah*. Before that time the most ancient
copy of the book Isaiah in the Jewish language was found which was made in
approximately 1000 years after
the birth
of Jesus. After these two copies of one source were compared only
insignificant deviations in spelling were found in them. For 1100 years
of copying the word of God remained unchangeable.
Those
who wrote the Bible didn’t aspire to glory, they were moved by only one
purpose: to transfer the word of God to people. There was a time, when those
caught at reading the Bible were killed, and
burning of bibles was considered as a commonplace thing. But in spite of
anything the Bible hasn’t disappeared.
Conditionally the Bible is divided into the Old Testament written B.C., and the New Testament written by the disciples of Jesus. The stories about Jesus, written down in the New Testament were known to people at the time when those who saw Him were still alive. These people beyond any reasonable doubt, could confirm or deny the accuracy of these stories. However in any documents of that epoch there is no refutation of the reality of Jesus.
JESUS – is Hi an
IMPOSTOR OR the SON of GOD and GOD?
Jesus
came to the mankind 2000 years ago. He was born in a poor family, in a
small Jewish town. He spent all His life in one of the smallest countries in the
world, besides occupied by strangers. He lived for 33 years, and He devoted only
the last 3 years of His life to service to the people. Why then people all over
the world remember Him till today? Even the
calculation of years in the calendars
(in the English language "B.C” stands
for "Before Christ", which means: « up to Jesus time », in Russia in
the previous years there was a saying: «up to Christmas») reminds us of the
fact that Jesus lived probably the
most significant life of all people ever lived on the Earth.
