1 Corinthians 3:16-23


16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.

18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” 20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” 21 So let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.


1 Corinthians 2, Papyrus 46





Thanks, Lord Jesus Christ. Today. We live in an age of antibiotics. Routine child death was common place. No more. Phones in our hands with all types of capabilities. Israel is a Nation after almost 2 millenniums. 

The information, today, is looking at Papyrus 46. Recently, knowledge has many new ideas, and now the verb usage is later than the 2nd century. But when the University of Michigan bought this Papyrus, the language experts said this was late first Century. I've read the verb codex debate and I don't agree. Ancient Histories are plentiful and the codex was compared to Roman Empire Documents, since St. Jerome read everything the Church knew of and translated this into Latin. For millenniums, this was found to be the first century A.D., until all knowledge needed to have Drama and be sassy.

Hint, Roman Empire History: The codex is the same as the Empire documentation of how many Legions were in Jerusalem during Pontius Pilate. Oh, sweet mystery of life, now we capture coooodex.




THE PLAN OF GOD 
IS TO 
SAVE THE WORLD 
IN JESUS CHRIST
HAD
BEGUN
A NEW HEAVEN
and a
New earth


Empire codex tells us:

First Century Codex. Yeah, baby.





Luke's Gospel, Chapter One. Or the Tax Census? This would be First century A.D., Codex.



Because of the scope and size of the Roman Empire; accounting was once again a necessity to a well-maintained society. There is evidence of comprehensive financial statements in the rule of Emperor Augustus circa 63 BC-14 AD. 

These statements included information on expenses on “statistics concerning the provinces and dependent kingdoms; direct and indirect taxation; as well as recurrent expenditures and gifts”, as well as, “the amounts of cash in the Aerarium…and in the hands of the publicani” (Oldroyd, “The Role…”, 1995). The Aerarium was the treasury, and the publicani was the public.






Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus (23 September 63 BC – 19 August AD 14) is considered the first Emperor of the Roman Empire, which he ruled alone from 27 BC until his death in AD 14. Interesting, the world was working on marriage during the birth of Christ, calling for David's house to report to Bethlehem. (They've found the census, by the way.)

Augustus was a tidy man, someone who wanted to be a Caesar beyond reproach and his wife, Caesar's wife (whom he proposed to while she was married and pregnant with her other husband's child), as well. Romans had been allowed to marry in different forms and it was all mostly live and let live as far as marriage went. Augustus decided it needed to be .... Defined and Legal.

 

1. Confarreatio (divorce almost unheard of)was a traditional patrician form of marriage. Divorce for confarreatio marriages, diffarreatio, was a difficult process and therefore rare. A special type of sacrifice that caused the dissolution of the relationship between the man and woman. She would then pass back into her father's home or family. Originally, the confarreatio was indissoluble. The wife leaves her family and becomes her husband's family, or property = cum manu. Later, divorce was easier, the dowry returned with the wife.

2. Coemptio (slavery/service) was in essence a sale of the woman to the husband. Coemptio occurred at any time throughout marriage. This was a process of mancipation (slavery/service). The transaction occurred with a scales-holder and in the presence of at least five witnesses, adult male Roman citizens. Coemptio could occur not only with a husband, but also with an outsider. However, this process is deemed for the “sake of trust” not for the “sake of marriage.” Coemptio was only a convenient legal practice. If a wife became cum manu through the process of coemptio divorced, then she became emancipated. By the 2nd century AD, a wife was able to compel her husband to emancipate her, a right not shared by her children.

3. Usus (living together, owned by husband) Cum Manu acquired by usus was simply the cohabitation of the husband and wife for the duration of a year. After a year passed, the wife was transferred into the ownership of her partner, she was considered taken by the decree of yearly possession. This process required no ceremonial practices. If the woman was not willing to come into ownership of her husband, manus by usus was easily preventable. As conditioned in the Twelve Tables, if the wife absented herself for the total of three days and three nights before the end of the year, each year, the marriage was not cum manu, and she was not under the ownership of her husband. If a woman married cum manu through the process of usus divorced then, she became Emancipated. Subsequently, the law of usus was dissolved by legal enactments presumably because it fell out of use..... so Do Not Spend Your Anniversary Together at all costs....

4. Sine Manu (living together, owned by father instead of husband) the wife legally and ritually remained a member of her father's family, standing under the control of her father's potestas. The bride is not under control of the husband. This form of marriage held no ceremonial formalities led by a public official. Ultimately, it involved a husband and wife living together under the intention of a marriage, in conjunction with the legal capacity of marriage under the Roman law. Although no official ceremony was held, it was customary for the bride to be escorted to her bridegrooms house. The children of this union were legally members of the husband’s agnatic kin.

Women faced with the loss of property when entering a cum manu marriage began to only consent to sine manu (father's family property) unions (similar to living together, today, to avoid prenuptial agreements and financial wedding issues.)


Taxes and Inheritance Law
So, Augustus was trying to put marriage together better for inheritance when he created these types of marriages, legally. They had been used for centuries. When we read the last paragraph in brown, Augustus' goal was promoting self and not promoting a couple living as one person.

Does it sound like these forms of marriages would help sort out society better and then the playing field is easily understood? It had an effect. A definite effect. The love of many grew colder.

Marriage is a work in progress. Dating or living together leads to a non-committed society - free to abandon hearts and children. Those abandoned hearts hurt others, the cycle goes on and on to the detriment of society.

True, we don't consider women property in most of the world today. But we do consider property, income, commitment instead of Christian marriage for love, honor, obey, cherish in sickness and all circumstances. Confarreatio (devoted love forsaking all other things) began to be a thing of the past.

The End of the Empire? 
Selfishness. Christianity is said to have split the Roman Empire, but really selfishness. Lack of family, a place to go, fairness - is the downfall. Marriage laws made family and oath and position always an uncertainty. Claw your way along.







What was happening in the Roman Empire, was happening in Syria. What was happening in Syria, was fairly important to the Roman Empire. But Judea - not even Pontius Pilate wanted to go there. History has the papers informing him of his command in Judea.

 To join the Roman army, social and wealth ranks were considered. The Gospels and early Acts mention Centurions. But a Military Tribune is specially appointed. A member of the equestrian rank in society. Each Legion had 6 Tribunes appointed. Each legion was composed of about 5,500 men, all professional soldiers who signed on for terms lasting 25 years.

In each Legion, ranked above the centurions, were six tribunes. These were men from the equestrian class, the second-highest class in the Roman aristocracy, underneath the senatorial class. One tribune was senior in rank to the other five, and was second in command of the legion; he was called the tribunus laticlavius, and was appointed to the post by the provincial governor. Many times, Tribunes were about to run for election in the Roman Senate.

There was no Legion stationed in Jerusalem, Pontius Pilate was only the rank of Equestrian, so he could not garrison a full legion under his command. Jerusalem was garrisoned by Cohors II Italica, it was only one Auxiliary cohort. Another, probably, at Caesarea.

Each of these auxiliary units would have been commanded by a tribune. There are 10 cohorts in a Legion and Judea had two cohorts.


First Century Codex. Yeah, baby.

Josephus. 

Yes Josephus writes in Latin
but why is it this codex is accepted for 
2,000 years.

And the time frames fit together.
Suddenly, we have 'new ideas' about verbs. 
2,000 years later.

But not for the existing Talmud, or Roman History.

The destruction of Jerusalem was circa 70 A.D.
The Natural Life of Jesus Christ.

Like the 40 years of the Exodus,
God The Father did not cancel
all of the works of Jesus.
The Blind continued to see. The Deaf Hear.

Another generation would cause much
of the Destruction of Jerusalem.


 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him.
 For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.


When 1 Corinthians 3 was written.....
The Temple in Jerusalem was entirely intact.




 Romans 1 20-23 

For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, 
have been clearly perceived, 

ever since the creation of the world, 
in the things that have been made. 

So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

Deuteronomy 8:10-20 ~ The Lord Your God

 


Deuteronomy 8:10-20



 10 And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.




11 “Take care lest you forget the Lord your God by not keeping his commandments and his rules and his statutes, which I command you today, 12 lest, when you have eaten and are full and have built good houses and live in them, 13 and when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all that you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God.







The Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, 15 who led you through the great and terrifying wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you water out of the flinty rock, 16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers did not know, that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end. 





17 Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’ 18 You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that He may confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 19 And if you forget the Lord your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I solemnly warn you today that you shall surely perish. 

20 Like the nations that the Lord makes to perish before you, so shall you perish, because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God.



The history of Israel is ours in Jesus Christ.  The Perils of Kings and Chronicles, with the pendulum that swings, is ours as well.  The answer to God's Grace and Mercy is our Gratitude and to believe and do the Word of God. Accepting the Grace Jesus gives us so freely.






Psalm 41:13

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.


Psalm 72:18-19

Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
Who alone works wonders.
And blessed be His glorious name forever;
And may the whole earth be filled with His glory.
Amen, and Amen.


Psalm 106:48

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
From everlasting even to everlasting.
And let all the people say, “Amen.”
Praise the Lord!


Psalm 150:1-6

Praise the Lord!
Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty expanse.
Praise Him for His mighty deeds;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.
Praise Him with trumpet sound;
Praise Him with harp and lyre.


Romans 11:33-36
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! 
How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! 
For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor? 
Or who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to him again?


Psalm 57:5
Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.






Thank You, Father

Amen.

Matthew 6:6-13 ~ Our Father

 

Prayer is spontaneous


Psalm 68: 19, 32-35

19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah

32 O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God; sing praises to the Lord, Selah 33 to him who rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens; behold, he sends out his voice, his mighty voice.

34 Ascribe power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, and whose power is in the skies. 35 Awesome is God from his sanctuary; the God of Israel--he is the one who gives power and strength to his people. Blessed be God!


Prayer is our ongoing God conversation





1662 Anglican

Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done
in earth, as it is in heaven:
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive them that trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil:
(When before the Collect the priest alone recites the prayer, the people here respond: Amen.
When after all have communicated the people repeat each petition after the priest, the prayer ends)
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.









Finding something positive came out of "a learning opportunity". One of the interesting things about the Lord's Prayer:



Matthew 6:6-13




6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray then like this:

“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.



Right before the Lord tells us to honor the Father, ask for God's will, ask for daily provisions, forgive us our sins, asked for forgiveness for the ones who hurt us, lead in safe paths, deliver us from evil...... He tells us not to offer up empty phrases. We all know the Lord's prayer, but He isn't asking for us to assume any particular type of position to pray. Father God does indeed ask for a sincere and open Heart, Mind, Soul to God as God, Father and Almighty. He isn't asking us to recite. He is asking for a conversation.

Psalm 68, the whole thing, like many Chapters, is about the Lord's Prayer. It's about a time when something looked grim, but the Light shone. It's about the hassle to gather the family together. This is lovely. It's feeling bitter over a hurt and realizing it doesn't matter. It's realizing we have flaws and we want to be forgiven, not only to the Lord. It's taking time to realize the beauty around you. It's the joy in knowing it is a gift.

Realizing when we don't take time to really count and appreciate our blessings, they fly past us without the joy. And when life is so rough, to have hope. When hurt becomes a prayer for the loved one. Trusting in God.




We thank You for being with us as we pray 
over the news.



Abba, Father God,

Help our prayers be fruitful. 
Let our conversation about joy, need, praise. 
Let it be humble, let it be uplifting. 

Thank you, Father, You incline your ear whenever we call upon You. 

Heal the hurting, uplift the families. 
Send Your vast blessings. Father God, 
You are truly are as vast as the Universe itself and as gentle as a breeze. 
Speak the Word, Father God, and we know Your healing. 

Prayers for healing in health are being answered.

We pray for the work being done at our house
to be well, in patience and in kindness. Completion of the Project.

Dwell in us, Father.
Help the ones we Love to have You dwelling in them.
Help us to Seek You First.
And we will finish well in Jesus Christ.

Praise Your gift of life in Jesus. 
Amen.

Luke 10:21-24 ~ His Voice †

 


Luke 10:21-24



10 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 


6 This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.


7 So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.


In criminal trials, all types of evidence is produced, found, studied and gather testimonial evidence and take depositions. Eventually, as the witnesses take the stand, there is something called, "Moose head undeniable, undoubtedly, truth." In a Mafia trial, a former Mafia member said, "If the Moose head could talk, from the wall, you'd understand this so much better. That Moose knows all, I can only tell you what I heard."

As Jesus began His Ministry, the 6 stone water jars contained up to 30 gallons of liquid. These stone water jars didn't move about as whim. Not as a man tossed about waves in his unbelief.

James 1:6-8

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, 
unstable in all his ways.  


When the master of the Wedding Feast gave witness, the Mother of Jesus, the servants, KNEW
they had seen an incredible Miracle.



The next event in John's Gospel is       John 3

3 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” 

3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 

4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” 

5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 

8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Looking to the wind, as reliable, can be risky. And really, life brings us new situations all the time. A reminder the situations are in His Hand, Plan and within prayer.

John is saying, like the Road to Emmaus, the understanding of Jesus Christ fully began. Even the elite, like Nicodemus, are showing up to meet Jesus.

The Sheep of the fold. God tells us about this: 

 Romans 1 20-23 

For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, 
have been clearly perceived, 

ever since the creation of the world, 
in the things that have been made. 

So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.


This isn't always about a lack of faith. This is about what to do with.... God. 

And answers questions 
about 81% of the United States celebrated Easter as the Risen Lord Jesus.

Jesus' Parables have tremendous merit. The Ten Talent Parables. What do we think God will ask of us in Faith? Jesus was very open. He declared God knows we will think He is an unrighteous Judge. But Jesus said, pepper the Lord with your Prayers and Petitions. You can move the hand of God. Always Pray with Hope. Believing all things work together for Good, for those who work for His Purpose. The Ten Parables tell us to believe God enjoys our efforts of faith.

God does not cast us as orphans into the storm.
He equips us. Daily loadeth us with His Benefits. 



Ephesians 4

11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers 12 To equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 Until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 

 15 Instead, 
speaking the truth in love, 
we will in all things grow up
 into Him 
who is the head, that is, Christ.

The Mercy of Jesus! He does not expect us to walk on water, just to speak the truth in love.
And Grow. God might say, He uses our strengths and weakness to fulfill His Plan.


Never Forsaken



Father, Abba,

On the days we do not appreciate all of our blessings, 
help infuse our blessings into our heart, minds and soul. 
Let every blood cell carry gratitude in us 
to our Joy 

And the Joy of Jesus Christ.

Help us to gather wisdom without shrewdness. 

Let us have the joy of gladness in our fellowship without the endless gathering of resources and funds.

Lord, in Your mercy, send help, in these days of gloom and unhappiness. Let those of us having a good season shine the Light of Jesus Christ so gently and brightly the world is eager for Jesus Christ. Let those of us having a season of stress and sorrow, believe gently and bring the Light of Jesus Christ for all of us.

In the Great Love of Jesus, 
we all be saved as we put our trust in Him.

Bless You, Father, for Jesus Christ. Amen.

Jeremiah 31:23-26 ~ The Lord bless you

 


John 7:38 

 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, 
rivers of living water will flow from within them.”


Jeremiah 31:23-26



Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Once more they shall use these words in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I restore their fortunes:

“‘The Lord bless you, O habitation of righteousness,
    O holy hill!’

24 And Judah and all its cities shall dwell there together, and the farmers and those who wander with their flocks. 25 For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.”

26 At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.



Lately, my mind has been thinking about the Scripture telling us: 


Psalm 18: 25,26

To the faithful, You show Yourself faithful, 
to the blameless 
You show Yourself blameless; 
to the pure 
You show Yourself pure, 
but to the crooked 
You show Yourself shrewd.


When we look at all of Jeremiah 31, we find seasons of goodness and stress change. Just as the quality of sleep changes in adults. And Jeremiah is the goodness of the fullness of the earth and the years Naomi found famine, yet God gave her a remnant to find His Blessings.

Bishop Sam Hulsey loved to find life with a beautiful lawn and garden, children as they are newly dressed in nice clothes.  Writing comfort to a mother who had lost her beloved and treasure daughter because he had grown up with the late child's grandmother.  Finding a bereaved parent in a beautiful occasion, to offer comfort again, and then apologizing for bringing up sorrow in the midst of Joy. And instead, Bishop Sam gave Joy always. Bishop Sam's explanation: The words of wrath apply in Scripture, but the sting is meant for those who are, by choice, separated from God. Jesus covers us from wrath and sorrow, bringing His Grace and His mercy.



The Disciples in the Boat felt far beyond overwhelmed, simply terrified. They surely felt abandoned and, with that feeling, wanted Jesus to act in wisdom and not sleep during the storm. They certainly didn't feel God was being wise. And in fact, probably felt the Unfair Judge was ignoring them. Someone took hold of faith in Jesus' Love and Yelled for Help. Jesus surely heard.




We need the explanation of famine. 
We need to see the Scriptures address real life and the troubles life has. Yet, we need to be reminded, Grace Overcomes. Only to reach out and ask Jesus with our words and our heart.  Given forgiveness to believe.

God gives rest to the weary. His Joy to share the Kingdom of God with us, the Kingdom is at hand.









Abba, Father God,

You are the Way, Truth and Life!

In the footprints of Your Living Word we find this:

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow (all You have Written)
all the days of life,
and we shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

You interweave all things for Good. 
When we are called according to Your Purpose.

Thank You, Abba, Holy Father, our Father God,
For all Your Word. Great is Your Word.

You are merciful to Your Children, You call Beloved.

From the small blessings to the great ones,
help us to reason to our thanksgiving, being grateful.

Help us to express our gratitude and thanks.

Be our way, truth and Life to let our lives be living
testaments to the Good You have Willingly Given.

We ask you to put the Name of Jesus Christ upon us 
and 
we are Blessed of God.

Jesus Christ, pray for us, Speak Your Word,
 bring more Heaven to earth.
To Rejoice in all of Your world.

We ask Your Abundant and Flowing Blessings upon us.

Keep us safe from disasters, quieten storms and keep the Oceans safe.

Help us to seek You first and Your Kingdom.


To Live Love, Joy and Peace. Uphold those we Love. We Trust You.


We ask for the world's complete recovery and Joy in Recovery.

We pray for Your Healing Word to be Spoken.

Jesus Son of God Himself Bless, Sustain, Comfort, Guide
this Nation in wisdom
and in all justice.
End the horror of injustice
and lack of solutions

We look to Your favor and Mercy upon us
in Jesus.

Help us to act with mercy and wisdom.


Jesus Christ Live in us. Amen!

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
