THE BIBLE’S AMAZING COMPOSITION:
·
Other than One Editor, the human penmen of the
Scriptures had almost nothing in common. Literary wise Moses may have been
educated schooled in Egyptian universities. Amos was a herdsman. Joshua a
general. Paul was a learned man. But what of the others? Peter was a fisherman
with no record of being educated.
·
God spoke through them, using them to
write the Scriptures of His divine plan.
·
To see the weight of the above truth, suppose
you were to endeavor to assemble a comparable topical book from various bits of
literature written thru the ages by various human “authorities”. What would you
have? A hodge-podge of contradictions and diverse opinions.
·
The Bible as a compilation is a whole different
result as there was one instructive Author. This even though its composition as
a book argues against its unity. Read it. See it!
