Knowing GOD is next to loving HIM
10/04/09 THE VERIFICATION OF THE SCRIPTURES
i. They claim to be Inspired: - Over 2,600 times, the term “and God said” or its equivalent is used in the Bible. Men under special inspiration wrote what God said and instructed them to write. Ex 24:4, 34:28. Christ himself endorsed the truth and authority of the Old Testament by quoting it and living in harmony with its teaching. Matt 5:15, John 10:35, Luke 18:31-33. The New Testament claims to give a fuller and clearer revelation of God than the Old Testament and authoritatively declares the abrogation of the old laws. Therefore, if the Old Testament is inspired, so.
ii. They Appear to be Inspired:- The character of scriptures supports its claims, its accuracy, its amazing unity, sixty six books written by about forty different authors, over a period of 1600 years and covering a variety of topics, it nevertheless carries a unity of theme and purpose that can be explained only by one super intending mind.
iii. They claim to be inspired
iv. They appear to be inspired: - Content contains the most sublime revelation of God.
v. Influence: - Possesses an unfailing power to lead men to God and transform their characters and an immeasurable distance separate if from all competitors.
vi. Authority: - It is the court of appeal in religion. W.E HADSTONE said “I have known as good worlds great men in my time, and of there, 87 were follower of the bible, the bible is stamped with a specialty of origin, Queen Victoria of England said, “that book accounts for the supremacy of England DV DS CLARK said there is a difference between the bible that no man can fathom; the difference is cause from its origin (God).
It Depths: - How many books can stand even two readings? But the bible can be read hundred of times without it being fathomed or it loosing its interests for the reader.
Its remarkable Circulation: - the most translated and circulated book in the world
Its timelessness: - One of the most ancient books, and yet modern.
Its remarkable preservation in the face of persecution and opposition of science.
Its many fulfilled prophecies.always love GOD with all ur hear.

GOD love every one even me....
DISCERNING
i. Distinguish between revelation and inspiration: - Revelation discloses that which was hidden. Inspiration implies that the writer is perceived from error in recording that revelation/ e.g. The Ten Commandments.
ii. Inspiration does not always imply revelation: - Moses was inspired to record events which he experienced himself and were therefore within the scope of his knowledge.
iii. Distinguish between uninspired words inspired records: - Satan’s utterances in the bible were not God-inspired when he said them; but the record of those satanic utterances is inspired.

Today's featured article
Wind is the flow of air or other gases that compose an atmosphere. On Earth, wind consists of the bulk movement of air. In outer space, solar wind is the movement of gases or charged particles from the sun through space. While wind is often a standalone weather phenomenon, it can also occur as part of a storm system, most notably in a cyclone. Shorter duration winds, such as wind gusts, can cause substantial damage to power lines and suspension bridges. Winds with an intermediate duration, which sharply increase and last for a minute are termed squalls. Long-duration wind speeds have various names associated with their average strength, such as breeze, gale, storm, hurricane, and typhoon. Wind occurs on a range of scales, from local breezes generated by heating of land surfaces and lasting tens of minutes, to global winds resulting from the difference in absorption of solar energy between the climate zones on Earth. The two major driving factors of large scale atmospheric circulation are the differential heating between the equator and the poles, which causes the jet stream and the associated climatological mid-latitude westerlies, polar easterlies, and the trade winds, and the rotation of the planet. In human civilization, wind has inspired mythology, influenced the events of history, expanded the range of transport and warfare, and provided a power source for mechanical work, electricity, and recreation.

The white coral fungus (Clavulina cristata) is a white edible coral mushroom present in temperate areas of the Americas and Europe. It is found growing solitary or in clusters on the ground (sometimes on rotten wood) in both coniferous and hardwood forests. The white- or cream-colored fruiting bodies can be up to 8 cm (3.1 in) tall and 2–4 cm (0.8–1.6 in) broad.

The white coral fungus (Clavulina cristata) is a white edible coral mushroom present in temperate areas of the Americas and Europe. It is found growing solitary or in clusters on the ground (sometimes on rotten wood) in both coniferous and hardwood forests. The white- or cream-colored fruiting bodies can be up to 8 cm (3.1 in) tall and 2–4 cm (0.8–1.6 in) broad.
