Question 2: What are the benefits of reading the Christian Bible? What effect does it have on people's minds?
Question 3: Why is the Bible so important to me and others? Books written by more than 40 authors living in different times and spanning thousands of years have been merged into a Bible. On the surface, it was written by people. In fact, there is only one author behind it, that is, the Holy Spirit, because the Bible is a revelation from God. The Bible is a channel for God to write and talk to human beings. Man is created, and the creator is God. For example, it's like building a particularly advanced machine and writing a manual for it for convenience. The Bible is a manual of creation. As a person, to truly understand yourself, we must read the Bible carefully. Do you think the Bible is important to everyone?
Question 4: The significance of the Bible to human beings in various fields. There are many metaphors about God's Word in the Bible, which show us the relationship between God's Word and life.
Like milk-nourish the soul and make it thrive (1 Peter, chapter 2, section 2).
Just like honey-it is the enjoyment and happiness of mind and spirit (Psalm 19: 10).
Like light, it leads people to the right path (Psalm 1 19: 105).
Like a sword-it goes deep into the heart and distinguishes good from evil (Hebrews 4: 12).
Like a hammer-break a stubborn heart and offer it to God (Jeremiah 22: 29).
Like fire-the effect of melting and cleaning (Jeremiah 3: 29).
Just like rain-it moistens people's hearts and bears good fruit (Isaiah 55: 1 1).
As a seed, it falls into people's hearts and gains a lot (Kyle Gospel, chapter 4, sections 2-8).
Like a mirror-show your true colors and lead people to repent and accept salvation (James 1: 23).
For example, gold is the most precious and greatest wealth in life (Psalm 19: 10).
Like the grass of life, it will last forever.
In Jamaica, there is a kind of grass called "life grass" because its branches and leaves are almost impossible to dry up and die. If you take one of its leaves and hang it in the air with a thread, it will never die. Instead, it will produce a lot of white cilia, absorb the water in the air and continue to survive and grow. So the locals call it the grass of life. That's what the Bible does. In the past 2000 years, the Bible has been fiercely opposed and destroyed many times. For example, in 303 BC, the Roman emperor Diocletian launched a campaign to destroy the Bible, burned all the Bibles found, and built a large stone statue, like a miniature Bible, which has now been destroyed. There are several Latin words engraved under the stone statue: "The Christian name has been destroyed." . However, up to now, the Bible is still the best-selling book in the world, far beyond the reach of any book, with an annual sales volume of no less than 30 million copies. As far as China Bible is concerned, since the first New Testament was published in 18 14, it has sold an average of 4 million copies (including single volume) every year in 120 years.
world classics
The Bible has been translated into more than 1300 languages, and there is no other book in the world whose translation volume is one tenth of it. It is indeed a "great world masterpiece"
● The Seven Wonders of the Bible
In the past, General Zhang Zhijiang called the Bible a "great classic of the world", and this "great classic" is even more an "absurd classic". There are many strange things, as listed below.
First of all, the Bible is praised by great people all over the world.
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, there are countless great men who praise the Bible. Here are some examples:
Goethe, a German writer, said: "The Bible is the most reliable and abundant capital in my life and an inexhaustible treasure house. He also said, "The glory of the noble and great personality of the Lord Jesus Christ emanates from the four gospels. This brilliance is sacred. 」
T. Edison, a great American inventor, was called "the greatest man in the world" by Sir Lodge, president of the Royal Society of England. He carved this motto in his laboratory: "I am convinced that there is an all-knowing, all-powerful and supreme God. He believes that the admonition of the Bible is the highest standard of human behavior and an indispensable guide on the road of life.
Francis Bacon, a famous British scientist, said: "Only the Bible can make the country and society receive the greatest blessing. 」
Dr. China Wang Chonghui, the most famous jurist in China, has successively held important positions such as Minister of Justice, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Prime Minister. He is not only a believer in the Bible, but also explains the main road of redemption according to the Bible. (See "Religious Views of World Celebrities" above).
Second, the spread of the Bible is unparalleled.
The Bible has been translated into 1300 languages, accounting for 95% of the total human population. 196 1 year, the total sales volume of the Bible is 35 million (including singles). No other book can match it. The British Library has a collection of 4 million books, which is 60 miles long, but the number of bibles sold in one year is several times that.
Third, the Bible has a great influence on human society.
Professor Barker, head of the literature department of Glasgow University, listed ten books that had the greatest influence on Britain, in the following order: First, the Bible; Second, the pilgrim's progress; Third, Shakespeare's works; Fourth, paradise lost; Five, Wordsworth's poems; The intransitive verbs Wesley, Walter and Cooper ... >>
Question 5: 3. The Bible says: Treat others as others treat you. What does that mean?
Therefore, do to others what you want them to do to you, for this is the law and the prophet's truth.
Literal meaning: So no matter what, you should treat others as you want them to treat you. Because this is what the law and the prophets say.
Here is to tell you that if you commit any crime, there will be any law to punish you, and you will not be punished more than your crime. For example, if you commit the crime of hurting others' bodies, you will be compensated or detained according to the circumstances, and you will not be convicted of homicide. Do what you are willing to bear the consequences, not what you are unwilling to bear the consequences. It doesn't mean that if you are good to others, others will be good to you, and if you are bad to others, others will be bad to you, because the Lord has taught you before:
Matthew (New Testament Volume 1)
You have heard the saying, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth". 』
But I say unto you, Do not fight against the wicked. If someone hits you on the right cheek, turn your left cheek to him.
If anyone wants to sue you, he will take your coat as well as yours.
5:4 1 If someone forces you to walk a mile, you can walk two miles with him.
Give it to anyone who asks, and don't refuse to borrow it from you.
You have heard that it is said, Love your neighbor and hate your enemies. 』
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for your persecutions.
Be sons of your heavenly father, for he makes the sun shine on the good and the bad, and sends rain on the righteous and the unjust.
If you only love those who love you, what do you get in return? Even tax collectors do the same.
If you greet your brother alone, what advantage do you have over others? Even foreigners do the same.
Therefore be perfect, just as your heavenly father is perfect.
May God give wisdom to those who follow his words, and may God give wisdom to you. Amen!
Question 6: What is the biggest misleading in the Bible? The Old Testament misleads:' Eating doesn't necessarily kill you.
Misleading of the New Testament: There is no judgment until after death.
Question 7: How many commands does God give people in the Bible? "Which commandment is the most important?"
What can we do to be accepted by God? Do you have to obey many rules? Fortunately, God didn't ask us to do this. What Jesus Christ, the son of God, said shows that God's demands on people can be summed up in one word. Which word is it? (Please read the Gospel of Kyle 12: 28-3 1).
Please pay attention to the circumstances under which Jesus said this. It was the eleventh day of Nisan, and in a few days he would sacrifice his life. When Jesus was teaching in the temple that day, his enemies asked him controversial questions many times, trying to find something from his words to frame him, but every time Jesus answered, they were speechless. Later, someone asked Jesus this question: "Which commandment is the most important?" (Article 28)
This question is really difficult to answer. On that day, some Jews argued with each other about which of the more than 600 commandments of Moses' law was the most important. It seems that there were other Jews at that time who thought all the commandments were equally important, so it is wrong to say that some commandments are more important than others. So how did Jesus answer this question?
When Jesus answered, he mentioned two things? Commandment, not one. First of all, he said, "You should love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and wisdom." . (Section 30; Deuteronomy 6: 5) The words "heart and soul", "heart and soul", "all wisdom" and "go all out" have similar meanings, so it is difficult to distinguish them strictly. In other words, this commandment means that we should love the Lord with all our abilities and resources. Regarding this commandment, a biblical reference book explains: "Man must love God completely and unreservedly." If you have such love for God, you will try your best to do what is pleasing to God every day. (1 John 5: 3)
Then Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself". (Section 3 1; Leviticus 19: 18) Love for God and love for others are inseparable. If we love God, we will love others. (1 John 4: 20,21) What does it mean to love yourself? In other words, we will treat others as we want them to treat us. (Matthew 7: 12) Since all people are created in the image of God, loving others is also a sign of loving God. (Genesis 1: 26)
What the Lord wants from us can be summed up in one word, and that is love.
How important are the two commandments of loving God and loving others? Jesus said, "There is nothing greater than these two commandments." (Section 3 1) According to Matthew, the author of the Bible, Jesus also said that "the whole law ... is linked with these two commandments". (Matthew 22: 40)
Pleasing God is actually very simple. God's demands on us can be summed up in one word, and that is love. Love has always been, and will always be, God's demand for those who worship him. Love is not only a word, nor a feeling, but must be expressed by action. (1 John 3: 18) The Bible says, "Who is God? Love ". (1 John 4: 8) When we study the Bible, we can know how to cultivate and express our love for God. Is that what you want?
Question 8: What do other people think of Jesus recorded in the Bible? Who are they? In Jesus' time, others thought of him just as the world thinks of believers now.
Question 9: What good does the Bible do to people? Does God really exist? Reading the Bible can enable us to: 65,438+0 gain life by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of God, have the wisdom of salvation, accept lessons, supervise and rebuke, learn righteousness through reform, and be prepared to do all kinds of good deeds.
God really exists.
Question 10: What kind of book is the Bible? Is it good or bad for people? What that man said is to help me find the right goal and happiness in life ... will he really help me ... I always think that any literary work can be read. The choice is personal. The Bible is the most important classic of Christianity. Christianity, as one of the three major religions in the world, can exist for thousands of years. As a guiding ideology, the Bible must have its truth and rationality. Religion that can exist for a long time without being buried by history is mainly to attract people to do good, so it's no harm to read the Bible. At least as a story book and a history book. There are also many aphorisms and proverbs in it. You can read the Bible, but it's up to you whether you believe in Jesus or God. You can have faith, but don't be too enthusiastic. We should know that we believe in something and someone with the purpose of being happier and happier, and it is never worthwhile to hurt ourselves and others blindly for a certain belief, then we have lost our original intention. What he said belongs to what he said. To put it bluntly, whether to listen or not is the task assigned to him by the church to attract several people to join the church. Actually, it's best to trust your conscience. God doesn't believe enough, and the Bible can be read.
