The God-Breathed Book
II Timothy 3:16

Words are vehicles of communication. We communicate to one another by means of words. when I use words I communicate to your mind and heart what is in my mind and heart. We are told specifically that the Bible-the Good Book, the Scripture-is the literal Word of God. In the Old Testament you will find phrases like this: God said, thus saith the Lord. Phrases like that occur over 3,800 times in the Old Testament. If ...
