This is a really good article Jack. Thank you for expounding on how Holy God and His Word is. Indeed, the Bible is Holy and it does have power and life in it. It can melt the heart of stone. It can bring a dead soul to life. It can bring knowledge into doubt. It is the One and only source of real truth! God bless you brother! Wonderful job!
Thank you my brother. I fall prostrate before His Word and before THE Word of God, Himself. The power in His Word is enough to raise Lazarus from the dead and those who were dead in their sins like me. Thank you for your encouraging words.
This article make my heart dance! Thank you for working for our Lord Jesus Christ. I also was dead in my sin but now saved through His beautiful, powerful and Holy name.
Thank you for this article, Jack.
I pray that people truly believe that the Bible is a message from God and treat it as such. What could be more important than the Words of our Creator, Savior, and Sustianer? Sometimes it amazes me how flippantly some people regard the Bible. God bless you, brother. Keep up the good work.
Yours in Christ,
Robert
Amen Robert. As I told Emela. I fall to the ground in recognition that our God and His Word, all of them, are Holy, Holy, Holy and I am altogether not! Every Word is eternal and precious and will abide for time without end. Thank you sir.

Thank you so much Emela. I fall to the ground in recognition that our God and His Word, all of them, are Holy, Holy, Holy and I am altogether not!

What gracious words of encouragement sir. May God richly bless you and thank you and I thank God for you.
Great article love the Holy,Holy,Holy revelation 🙂 we serve an awesome Holy God 🙂 Praise His Holy Name! Xxx
So true James. I believe that I would be like Isaiah or the apostle John…that I would fall flat on my face as a dead man before His Holy Presence. Thank you sir.
Great article!. Hello I’m Nnadozie from Nigeria I’m 18years old and I’ve got a question.Which of the “bible” is truly for Christians?? The Roman Catholic own have more books than the Protestant and some other Church divisions have different ones too.I recall that the bilbe is God word,so if truly it is,which it is,why do the Catholic have more books than the Protestant??is it that the “hidden” books in the Roman Catholic bible aren’t God’s word? Or they were written without the Holy spirit? OR they are Gods word? If they are,why aren’t they in the Protestant own. There should be one Holy and True Bible,which is the Word of God,with all the books complete,so I want to know which of the Bible it is. Thank you
Thank you my friend. Great question. The reason that some of the extra-biblical books are not in the Bible is that they don’t all agree with the teachings of the Old Testament writers and those in the New Testament and in the Old Testament, even the Jews do not accept many of the Apocrypha books. Please read this to find out which books should be and which books shouldn’t be in the Bible. I believe it will clear it up nnadozie. Thank you.

Thanks this is so great.
I like this, but I also was wondering something else about the Bible. Why is it divided into verses? The definition of a verse is “writing arranged with a metrical rhythm, typically having a rhyme” and is often used in terms of poetry. In the Bible some spots are written like poetry but not all of it, so why use this term?
Thank you Adam. The word verse is not in the Bible so it is the human idea to call them verses but it doesn’t detract from the Scripture. Why is this word used? It was based upon, as you said, musical lines or as the dictionary calls it “A single metrical line in a poetic composition; one line of poetry. b. A division of a metrical composition, such as a stanza of a poem or hymn.”
The God of the old testament seems to be more harsh in His treatment of His children than the more loving forgiving God of
the new testament. Why?
Hello Mr. Hurst. God does not change. His covenant changed with Jesus Christ’s coming, but read the Book of Revelation if you think God is more kind and loving. He is God and He will demand justice of all who reject the Son. There is no “why?” but God is God and He changes not. Only the covenant has changed through Jesus Christ.
genuinely, i was a blankmind concerning the bible’s authors
but once i passed through this article i’ve blessed
you too blessed
Thank you so much Jack for covering so many points about the Bible, the Word and Holy. I prayed that God continue to inspire you to decode more scripture, more passage for those who are confused and taking the word of God for granted by using the words in their own advantage for cover up.
I was touched and blessed by reading your article. Keep up, may God continue blessing you
Hello Red. You are so encouraging sir. May God richly bless you for that. Thank you for your prayers my brother.
Thank you very much sir.i did some research and was really happy to see the answers.
I am a folower of Jesus Christ.
