T2Q1 True
Question Number 1 ~ The Topic is about the Bible
Question:
The Bible is divinely inspired and Authored by God Himself.
You answered TRUE. That is correct.
Here are a few of the Scripture verses about the Authorship of the Bible:
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
[God inspired men what to speak and what to write as His Word.]
2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
[This means that God is the Author, not man. Every person has the right, and the responsibility, to interpret the Scriptures for themselves.
The Holy Spirit of God gives the “unction” or “anointing” to understand the Word which He Himself inspired:
1 John 2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.]
1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
