Why I Feel God Inspired The Holy Bible

After many attempts to write about Bible and Bible inspired by the Holy Spirit I was not satisfied about the content I wrote. I read many website articles on the subject "Inspired word of God" or "Word of God Inspired" or "Word of God Inspired by Holy Spirit." Most of the authors seem to be following the same arguments, same scripture verses. In fact already I have published a website having articles with similar logic and with common Bible Verses. I am trying to base this content with different viewpoints to prove the fact that God inspired the 40 authors to write the Bible in 73 books. Inspired Bible Most Popular Book in the World My point is,"why Bible has become the most popular book in the world?" Why, as per statisticbrain.com up to 4.28.2013 the number of total Bibles printed are 6,001,500,000. Each year about 50 million new copies are added to this total. The world has approximately 6, 900 languages. The Word of God is already translated into 450 languages. It is been translated into 1300 more languages. New Testament is been translated into 1,185 languages. As per Economist 2007 number of Bibles sold per year is 100 million. The World Fact book gives the world population as 7,021,836,029 (July 2012 est.) and the distribution of religions as Christian 31.59% Muslim 23.2%, Hindu 15.0%, Buddhist 7.1%, Sikh 0.35%, Jewish 0.22%, Baha'i 0.11%, other religions 10.95%, non-religious 9.66%, atheists 2.01%. (2010 estimate). As per above statistics 2.219 billion are Christians. The faith of all these people is based on the Holy Bible or the Word of God. All the Christians believe in One Almighty God, in Holy Trinity, death and everlasting life. They all believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, "The Word" (John 1:1). Why one third of the world population believe in the Holy Bible or the Word of God? All these Christians believe that the Word of God is infallible. Day by day this number is getting increased just like number of births per day is getting increased by thousands. Day by day inspiration of God over the authors who wrote the Bible or the Word of God is been proved with new findings. As the world is developing the sciences, the subjects like Archaeology and Bibliography are better understood. More Biblical findings will expose the Bible to a better understanding. The facts mentioned in the Bible, ultimately will prove the Words, 40 authors have written in 73 books under one theme. Omnipotence God has directed these authors to interpret the inspired word of God, with His breathe to them. The sciences which are based on the creation of God will ultimately prove His inspired Word. Bible Verse prove itself as the inspired Word of God Out of all the books in the world The Holy Bible or the Inspired Word of God is Unique in survival, Unique in withstanding external attacks, unique in continuity, unique in circulation, unique in translation, unique in theme, and unique as one book with 73 books. These unique facts are proved by the Bible itself. As per words of St. Paul to Timothy: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God" (2 Tim. 3:16), The survived theme "redemption of the fallen man by the death and rising of Christ" as revealed by God the father in the Bible. Moses was inspired by the Holy Spirit to name the redeemer with words "Seed of the woman" (Genesis 3:15). Prophet Isaiah was inspired by God to name the redeemer as "The Prince of Peace"(Isaiah 9:6). 800 year before the birth of Jesus Christ prophet Isaiah was inspired to prophesy coming of Jesus from his birth to the death and rising of Jesus from death after 3 days. Prophet Daniel was inspired to name Jesus as "The Son of God" (Daniel 3:25) and as "The Son of Man" in (Daniel 7:13). Out of numerous examples these are only very few on the inspiration of God to write His word. Therefore all the Christians believe in above facts. Billions of Christians in the world know that God has inspired the Holy Bible or the Word of God. These Christians are inspired by the Holy spirit as chosen and blessed through the sacrament of Baptism to focus their minds on the above facts and to base their faith on the inspired word of God. What other proof is required to prove that God inspired what Christians believe that is the inspired Word of God or The Holy Bible. Inspired Word Of God and Modern World History of writing is old as history of man. HISTORY OF WRITING MATERIALS dates back to 5000 years before the birth of Christ. The Bible or the Word of God was written different materials as and when the materials got developed. Some were written mud slabs. Some in stones, some in papyrus etc. The Bible did not just simply happen nor has it been preserved by accident or without effort.Some of the earliest preserved examples of writings were found in Egypt, consisting of inscriptions which appear to date back as far as 4000-5000 B.C. Writing existed many centuries before Moses Ancient writing materials consisted of many things before our modern type book evolved. Stone (cp. Ten Commandments, Ex. 20), clay, wood, pottery, leather, and papyrus were commonly used at different periods as material upon which to write. Leather (animal skins) was the primary material used by the Hebrews ("Old Testament") and papyrus (plant material) use to write New Testament. The book of Revelation use papyrus rolls. This was often the "book" during this time period (see Rev. 5: 1). The Papyrus roll (so called because when not in use, it was rolled up) was simply laid down, usually on the floor or ground, and rolled out to be read. About 600 years later, the papyrus roll was replaced by what is known as the papyrus codex. The codex manuscript is what we know today as a book, papyrus sheets placed together in the form of a book, instead of a roll). Parchment (improved animal skins) was also used. Vellum (parchment) became popular in about 199 B. C. For about 1, 000 years parchment was commonly used in the making of some of the first copies of the original writings of the New Testament. The birth of Inspired word of God or the Bible

We cannot assign an exact date or circumstance to the origin of the Bible. For a considerable time, God orally and gradually communicated with man (Patriarchal Age, Gen. 2-Ex. 20, about 2, 500 years). The first person mentioned in the Bible as writing down God's was Moses, who lived about 1500 B. C. The Bible itself contributes six distinct writings to Moses (Ex. 17: 14; 24: 4; 34: 27, 28; Num. 33: 2; Deut. 31: 9, 24; 32: 1-43, cp. 31: 22). Moses has not written a scientific book to intellectuals. He has written to Israelites who followed behind him to the Promised Land. Moses has written the creation as a form of a story so that people who lived at his time will understand. A modern writer would have followed some other style to present this story to the modern man. Moses Herein, the Bible is set apart from all other writings - the Bible is inspired or God breathed (2 Tim. 3: 16, 17). The very words were supplied to the men who wrote; hence, plenary inspiration The books of law came first, and then the prophets, until it grew into the collection we now know as the Hebrew Scriptures ("Old Testament"). God seems to guide or inspire His chosen writers to stick to a one single theme, The fallen man and His redemption by the Son of God or Jesus Christ and Gods guide lines to live a life acceptable to Him, thus ten commandments and preaching of Jesus Christ. May be in time to come when more and more research is done we will be able to enlighten ourselves about the first writings and how Gods word got evolved to modern times. Example finding of Dead Sea scrolls and present day Archaeological work and future findings. It is a continuing effort by the scholars to have a deeper understanding of the Word of God. We as blessed and inspired Christians have a greater responsibility to read the Word of God daily and meditate over the Holy Word to be inspired by the Holy Spirit to have a better understanding. Believe as the Holy Spirit inspired the writers of the Bible, Holy Spirit will inspire us to understand the inspired word written by them. The unique survival and strength of the word of God will depend on the understanding and the belief of the present day Christians on the Word of God. To read more the subject please press here
