			<title><![CDATA[Cell Phone vs. Bible]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[ I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn&rsquo;t live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[The History of Bible Translation into Slavonic and Russian]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[ The Bible of Cyril and Methodius (885)
The Bible of Cyril and Methodius is the first Slavonic Bible we know of. In A.D. 863, Rostislav, Prince of Great Moravia, sent a petition to Byzantium asking the emperor to send him some teachers of the Christian faith. The emperor responded by sending two brothers: Cyril and Methodius.
Their goal was to plant an independent church which could have its own liturgy. In order to have worship services in the Slavonic language, Cyril and Methodius first had t... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[What Is Bible “Inspiration”?]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[ &ldquo;What do Bible scholars mean when they speak of the &lsquo;inspiration&rsquo; of the Scriptures?&rdquo;
The Bible makes a claim that most books do not. It claims to be from God. Unlike the few that make the claim, the Bible&rsquo;s claim is true. This is the concept called &ldquo;inspiration.&rdquo; There are several things involved in considering the &ldquo;inspiration of the Bible.&rdquo;
First, &ldquo;inspiration&rdquo; of the Bible means that it had a divine origin. The term &ldquo;i... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Interpreting and Understanding the Bible ]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[ Introduction
Some religious groups claim that they have been given the authority to interpret Scripture for all. Others believe that the Bible can be understood only with further miraculous and discriminatory help from the Holy Spirit, and that such help is given only to them. Probably most denominational groups believe their particular interpretation of Scripture is the only right one. Can any person of normal intelligence pick up a Bible and understand its message? Is it reasonable to believe... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Modern Bible Translations ]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[ Introduction
There are available today many different translations of the Bible. While there are no perfect translations, some are good, and some are not. It would surely be wise to know as much as possible about a translation of the Bible before using it.&nbsp;
The King James Version
The KJV continues to be the best-loved version of the Bible there is. Many love the beautiful style of its language, reminiscent of the days of Shakespeare. Concerning accuracy, it is quite literal and faithful ... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Catholicism and the Bible]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[ Prior to the invention of Gutenberg's press in 1456, the Bible was inaccessible to the "common man." The Catholic Church had largely kept the Bible from being translated into the vernacular of the people. Latin was the language of the church and Jerome's Vulgate (ca. 405) became the accepted or "popular" translation. Following the publication of Luther's German Bible (1522 and 1534), the Counsel of Trent (1546) decreed that the Vulgate was to be the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church.

			<title><![CDATA[Biblical Canonicity]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[ Have you ever pondered: "Which books belong in the Bible?" Probably not. The question of biblical canonicity, though perhaps never considered by most people, is of paramount importance if men are to appropriately serve God. God&rsquo;s Word must be sure in order for men to confidently prepare themselves for eternity. God&rsquo;s Word must also be free of corruption, subtraction or addition that might otherwise adversely affect that preparation.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Fortunately, mortal man has no need to... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[The Bible: Word of God or Mere Words of Men?]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[ The phrase, &ldquo;word of God,&rdquo; is found some forty-four times in the New Testament (ASV). It is most interesting to examine the significance of this expression as viewed by the different teachers who employed it in their sacred instruction. In so doing, the reverent student will discover that the biblical use of this phrase is vastly removed from the scholastic irresponsibility so common in the modern community of &ldquo;Christendom.&rdquo;
Modernists repudiate the contention that the S... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[The Inspiration of The Bible]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[ The Bible is an amazing book. It is made up of two  great divisions, called testaments, that claim to reveal  the sacred will of God through the course of human  history.
The first of these Bible divisions is called the old  testament. Its 39 books inform us of many important  subjects, beginning with the creation of the universe  and man, the occurrence of the first sin and the flood.  The majority of old testament history, however, focuses  on God's choice of Israel as a people for His own po... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ &ldquo;Can you recommend some methods that would help me be a better Bible student, daily enriching my life by the Word of God?&rdquo;
The corruption and confusion of our modern world has driven many sincere people to a desire of taking a fresh look at the Bible as a source of help in their lives. But there is one problem; they have no idea how to approach the venerable Book for an understanding of its message. This brief discussion hopefully will offer some general guidelines.

			<title><![CDATA[How did We Get the Bible? ]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[ Ask any young child how we got the Bible, and the answers you receive may range from the corner bookstore to an angel from heaven. But, interestingly, many adults still are somewhat unsure as to exactly how we came to possess God&rsquo;s Word. The answer, unfortunately, does not magically appear with age. Consider for just a moment if a friend or coworker were to ask you to describe how we got the Bible. What would your answer be?

			<description><![CDATA[ Since the &ldquo;period of Enlightenment,&rdquo; liberal scholars have been extremely critical of those who teach that Moses was the inspired human author of the first five books of the Bible. These critics teach that the Pentateuch was compiled from four original source documents&mdash;designated as J, E, D, and P&mdash;which supposedly were written at different times by a different author (or authors), and eventually were compiled as the Pentateuch by a redactor (editor) around 200 B.C.&nbsp;T... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Imagine asking an actress from Hollywood, a farmer from Oklahoma, and a restaurant manager from Alabama to write an essay about the causes of the Civil War. Even though they would all write at the same time about a war that occurred less than 200 years ago, numerous differences would be obvious. The Hollywood actress might say the war was a result of slavery. The restaurant manager may assert the war was about states&rsquo; rights. And the farmer from Oklahoma might claim that the war was becaus... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Q.
I have heard that there are certain &ldquo;lost books&rdquo; mentioned in the Bible&mdash;books to which we no longer have access. Is this true? And if so, what impact does this have on the biblical text itself, or on a Christian&rsquo;s faith?
A.
In a manner that is somewhat similar to a modern research paper, citations appear in both the Old and New Testaments. The inspired writers sometimes referred to certain works that no longer exist&mdash;a fact that has caused some people to questi... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[The Dead Sea Scrolls and Biblical Integrity]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[ Bible believers often are confronted with the charge that the Bible is filled with mistakes. These alleged mistakes can be placed into two major categories: (1) apparent internal inconsistencies among revealed data; and (2) scribal mistakes in the underlying manuscripts themselves. The former category involves those situations in which there are apparent discrepancies between biblical texts regarding a specific event, person, place, etc. [For a treatment of such difficulties see Archer, 1982; Ge... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Hyperbole: A Common Biblical Figure of Speech]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[ The Bible is by far the most popular book ever printed. As such, it is also the most read. Those who read the Bible are reading the inspired message of God (see Butt, 2007). Yet, even though the Bible is God&rsquo;s inspired message, it contains figures of speech that commonly occur in secular writings. E.W. Bullinger wrote more than a thousand pages of material describing these figures of speech in his excellent volume Figures of Speech Used in the Bible (1968).

Let your fingers take a walk through the nearest phone book and the numbers may reach into the hundreds or even thousands. Yet most of these different churches claim to be using the same Bible as the book that guides their teachings and practices. With all these different beliefs supposedly coming from the Bible, one wonders if it is possi... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Without question, the Bible is the most influential book in the history of the world. Some of the most brilliant minds of which the human race can boast have been drawn to this ancient volume. In this article we call attention to several great truths regarding the Bible which are vitally important.
Origin
As to its origin, the Bible is ultimately from God. Mankind alone could not have written it if he would and he would not have composed it if he could. The Holy Scriptures are the word of God!... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Some books you can take or leave &mdash; one way or the other, and it won&rsquo;t make much difference &mdash; if any. The Bible is not in that category. If you &ldquo;leave&rdquo; it, you&rsquo;ve lost the most important body of information in the world &mdash; and the key to your access to heaven. If you &ldquo;take&rdquo; it (to be the word of God), you labor under the serious responsibility of understanding as much of it as you possibly can.

Rather, &ldquo;the things of God&rdquo; (cf. 1 Cor. 2:11) were to be committed to a series of inspired documents, collectively known as the Bible. The Holy Scriptures were designed to provide men with all things pertaining to life and godliness (2 Pet. 1:3), and to furnish devout students completely unto every good work (2 Tim... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[How to Read the Book: Nine Rules for Effective Bible Reading]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[ Who needs to read the Bible? Kings were commanded to read the Scriptures all the days of their lives (Deuteronomy 17:19). The Scriptures have been read aloud for the benefit of various groups of people (Exodus 24:7; Deuteronomy 31:9-13; Joshua 8:34-35; Nehemiah 8:1-3, 8, 18; Luke 4:16-21; Acts 15:21; Colossians 4:16). God&rsquo;s word needs to be taught to families (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; 2 Timothy 3:15). It must be read individually as well (Psalms 1:2; 119:11, 105; Acts 8:28-32).

I could not estimate how many times I have heard this charge against the Holy Scriptures over the past several decades. One thing, however, has been consistent about the allegation &mdash;the critic rarely can name even one alleged contradiction that the Bible is supposed to contain. He just &ldquo;knows&rdquo; that they are &ldquo;in there&rdquo; somewhere.

*"How can the Bible be accepted as universal when certain aspects of it are obsolete by reason of the ancient cultures out of which it arose? In view of its historical setting, how can it be practical? How can it function as a guide for man today?"
In considering this question there are several factors that must be taken into consideration.

The Bible contains two kinds of information. Some of it can be checked; some of it cannot.
