All right, lesson number one introduction to the Bible we're gonna look at 2nd Peter chapter 1 in a moment 2nd 2nd

00:11

Peter 2nd Peter chapter 1 as you're turning there when thinking about the scripture

00:17

There's three words. This isn't included in the the booklet, but there's three words that I want you to know.

00:23

The first word is revelation the second word is inspiration and the third word is illumination so revelation inspiration and illumination so revelation and has been said that Revelation is from God to man

00:44

Inspiration is from man to paper and then illumination is from paper to the heart

00:53

Paul prays for the believers in Ephesus that God would give to them the spirit of wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of him and he says that the eyes of your understanding

01:06

Being enlightened that you may know. What is the hope of his calling and the idea of being enlightened is that God opens your

01:16

Understanding to the scriptures. So the Bible is a spiritually discerned book I think some of you who read the column in the

01:24

Greenfield Recorder were different ministers from these Liberal denominations they write in and it's amazing how someone who went to seminary can get it so wrong and they just they really

01:36

They know what the Bible says, but they don't really know what the

01:41

Bible says so you have to have the Holy Spirit within for God to Illuminate his word to our understanding and to receive it in our heart

01:52

All right, let's look at 2nd Peter 1 20 and 21 and this class is going to depend on your questions and Interactions we're gonna go over the lesson, but the the purpose is not to just go over what we

02:12

Did this past week? The purpose is for you to study it read a study come in with your questions and and we'll discuss what we're looking at All right 2nd

02:22

Peter chapter 1 verses 20 and 21 Peter writes knowing this first that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation for prophecy never came by the will of man

02:38

But holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the

02:43

Holy Spirit So what is that verse saying? I think a lot of folks I I thought this way

02:50

At first when I first started reading the Bible when you hear private interpretation

02:57

The Bible is not of any private interpretation All that means it can't mean one thing to you you have your private

03:03

Interpretation and then it means something totally different to me that we all have our own private interpretations.

03:10

I mean, that's true That's not that's not good. That's not really what Peter is trying to communicate.

03:15

What he's saying is that the source of Scripture is not man in his own private

03:23

Interpretation the source of Scripture is who? God, this is the

03:28

Word of God. Every word in the Bible is the Word of God and Jesus affirmed that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word

03:40

Okay, so the Bible is God's Word It doesn't contain God's Word as some people would say that well

03:47

God's Word is in there somewhere You just have to sift through it. No, the whole thing is the

03:52

Word of God Any questions or comments so far? All right, so obviously men wrote

04:03

The Scriptures you'll hear people say this. Well, the Bible was written by man.

04:08

Sometimes they'll tell us Evangelicals that well the Bible is a book written by man Well, yeah, we understand that men wrote the

04:16

Bible, but what are they saying? That it's just a book right what and holy man it says yeah, holy men of God But when you hear that usually what they're saying is it's just the

04:31

Word of man Typically when people say that that yeah Peter is writing or you know

04:37

Moses was writing and they claim that it's the Word of God But really it's just the words of Peter and really it's just the words of Moses and then of course these days you have people

04:48

Debating whether or not Moses was a real historical figure So I just tune all of those people out and you have to understand the they're living in darkness

04:57

They don't have the Holy Spirit. They don't have faith. So you have to you know, don't get upset with them

05:03

Just understand they were brought up Maybe they even attend a church where they're taught this and that that's what they believe

05:09

So it's our job to believe the scripture and then tell people the truth And it's really

05:16

God's job God the Holy Spirit to convince them because we in and of ourselves Are really not going to be able to convince anyone without God's help right, so It's the very words of God As Peter said that men were moved to write by God the

05:37

Holy Spirit So while Moses wrote Genesis He was inspired by God How did

05:48

God inspire his word we'll get into the book in just a second, but how did

05:53

God do that Did God tell Moses hey Moses, here's what to write

05:59

I Actually think he did do that with Moses to a degree But when John wrote his gospel was

06:06

God just speaking from heaven and John was writing it down like a secretary would just repeat word for word

06:14

No, that's not how the scripture was inspired God used their own thoughts their own emotions their own

06:23

Experiences to where yeah, it is John writing but it's also

06:29

The source is God the Holy Spirit so it's it's miraculous and it's mysterious at the same time

06:37

Larry Right, right

06:50

Yeah every word So if somebody believes the

06:55

Bible Love your neighbor as yourself. Yeah, I believe that or God so loved the world.

07:02

Yeah, I believe that But when it comes to God telling Joshua to enter into the land of Canaan and take the land

07:09

Oh, I don't know. That's that seems very mean God would what is that?

07:15

What's what's the word for that? Or there's certain parts of the Bible. I can't accept that Okay, selectively why yeah,

07:24

I think of words like doubt And really it's unbelief The scripture is either all true

07:32

There's there's a famous pastor named Andy Stanley and he's really trying to convince people that you don't have to believe the

07:39

Bible Just believe in Jesus and the resurrection. We don't have to believe the whole Bible and he really

07:47

Discourages people from making statements like this, but I'm gonna make it anyways either the whole scripture is true all of it

07:54

Or if parts of it are not true that kind of clouds the whole thing Like how do you really know if parts of this book are false and unreliable?

08:06

If you know somebody and they Consistently tell you things that are not true. It kind of clouds their whole testimony

08:13

So it's the scripture is a package deal and that's my story and I'm sticking to it because that's what the

08:19

Word of God teaches Despite what Andy Stanley says? Yes Marcus Matthew 1019

08:26

Jesus is saying to his disciples But when they deliver you up do not worry about how or what you should speak

08:33

For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak. Mm -hmm

08:40

Thank you, and we do believe that The Holy Spirit brought things to the

08:46

Apostles remembrance So there's that supernatural aspect, okay, let's go through the book

08:52

So if you have if you have the book and you filled it out We're just going to go through this and and ask questions as we go along because that's what we want to do

09:00

We want to generate some discussion and give you an opportunity to ask ask questions

09:07

So the Bible is the Word of God this is lesson number one the very beginning the Bible is the

09:13

Word of God It claims to be the truth The message from God to man and then it references 2nd

09:23

Peter 1 21 So the scriptures were written by about 40 different men.

09:30

These men lived in several different countries and cultures They lived in different eras about 1400

09:37

BC through 90 AD So it's a generally 40 different authors 1 ,500 years and they wrote in three languages who knows what the languages are

09:56

Okay, so Hebrew Aramaic and Greek we all agree with that all right

10:05

Coin a Greek. Yeah, it's not the same as modern Greek. Although I don't know if it's radically

10:12

Different or not, but there is Yeah, well Hebrew from what

10:18

I understand was a dead language for a long long time This came up last time

10:26

Where somebody had commented that because we just said the scripture is inspired by God.

10:31

Amen Is this book inspired by God? Is it? inerrant and infallible

10:41

Yeah, well if you look at our church doctrinal statement, it says that it is both inerrant which means it's not wrong and Infallible, which means it cannot be wrong both inerrant and infallible in the original autographs

10:59

That's in the church doctrinal statement That's basically accepted by you know

11:04

Every pastor that I know unless they're King James only where they believe maybe There's some people who believe the

11:10

King James Version was sort of re -inspired and we do not hold to that view, of course

11:17

But this is troubling to some people they say well So the original autographs what you're saying is that when when

11:25

Moses wrote when Isaiah wrote when Peter wrote when John wrote? The scroll that they were writing that was inerrant infallible and inspired

11:34

But not your modern translation. That's kind of troubling to people Okay, how do we know that our modern translations are?

11:44

Accurate and reliable How do we know that Marcus because God is is going to preserve it and has preserved it against all foes

11:55

Yeah, it would have been pointless for God to inspire his word if he did not preserve

12:01

His word if you don't preserve it there and it's almost Yeah, it was it was lost to history some people would say we don't believe that's true

12:11

There are parts like if you have a King James Version and someone else has an NIV or an NASB I don't want to pick on any one translations because I know this is a touchy subject with some people you start talking about Bible Translations, I don't know what it is, but that topic more than just about anything

12:27

Can make some people upset But we know there are some slight differences a word here a word there

12:36

But we know all about that. And yeah, okay There are maybe a few verses and a few different things, but they don't affect any doctrine and We know that it's not some secret the point is you can depend on the modern translations

12:56

So if no matter what it is Well, there are some exceptions, of course But you know

13:01

King James New King James New American Standard and I be English Standard the major translations are reliable and dependable okay, so Yes, Dwight just Within the the autographs and the manuscripts we don't have any original

13:25

Right, but we have close manuscripts copies of the autographs of the original

13:32

And we have more copies of those close manuscripts than any other historical writing, right?

13:39

That's out there, right and The the reality is is that the

13:44

Bible is the most accurate writing historically literature that that's out there in any sense right just from Context of thinking about it.

13:57

Yes. Yeah And isn't it amazing that historians and the fake scholars right

14:05

Marcus you're listening fake scholars He said it, okay

14:19

But they'll find some ancient document like one Copy and all we know this happened because we found this ancient document yet You can have 5 ,000 copies of this, you know

14:31

Old Testament book and all we don't believe that So, I mean there's an agenda going on there.

14:36

We know that one last statement about this. It's better It's actually a good thing that we don't have the original autographs not only would people venerate them and worship them and you'd have cathedrals with a

14:50

Little copy of a scroll and people would bow down to it and all that would happen But it's not just that if you had the original copy someone could tamper with it

15:03

But since they made copies thousands of copies and they went in every direction

15:10

Critical scholars They can take all the different copies compare them and there's a whole process

15:17

We can tell what's true what is it and the thing again the things that are debated are very small very small number of things

15:23

Okay, let's continue number one the Old Testament books 39 books and all starts out section one part a the penitent five books

15:39

So pent you're right. It means five like Pentecost is 50 days from Passover The first five books of the

15:48

Old Testament were written by who? Around 1400

15:54

BC and they are often Referred to as the five books of Moses or the penitent or sometimes also another term is the

16:04

Torah All right. The first book is what? This is really basic Genesis The book of beginnings where it talks about the creation man sin redemption second book

16:19

Exodus the third book Leviticus, this is the book that where people start their

16:24

Bible reading and they get to Leviticus and then they quit, right? Numbers and Deuteronomy All right

16:33

So those are the first five books of the Bible And then you go to the next section the historical books how many historical books are there

16:44

Twelve okay now who filled them in that would like to read the historical books.

16:51

Yeah in order Jim Okay, you're going from memory.

16:58

Yeah Well, not no Genesis through Genesis is could be considered historical.

17:05

I mean I so but we're starting with Joshua. These are classified as the historical books

17:14

And I don't blame you if you want to bail So Joshua judges

17:36

First and second Yeah, Ruth first and second Samuel first and second Kings first and second

17:41

Chronicles Ezra Nehemiah and Esther So those are the twelve Historical books it says the historical books were written between 1400 and 450

17:51

BC and described God's dealing with his chosen people Israel that is the

17:57

Hebrew nation right so we have the Pentateuch the first five books of Moses then the historical books and Then the next category is the poetic books.

18:07

How many poetic books are there five? Five Says the following five books are poetic describing in poetry and song

18:18

God's greatness in his dealings with Men and somebody had asked last week about the

18:24

Song of Solomon. They said did they really talk like that back then? and Probably well, it's poetry

18:33

It's like if you read a poem, no people generally don't talk like that, but it you know, it sounds really nice Doesn't it and some of it is a little confusing at times, but the poetic books are

18:45

Job Psalms Proverbs Ecclesiastes and the

18:50

Song of Solomon a lot of people wouldn't think that Job Would be in there because it does seem more historical and obviously these are classifications that theologians and teachers came up with after the fact

19:05

But Job is actually considered one of the most the greatest work I don't want the greatest but one of the greatest works of poetry in the ancient world

19:14

All right. Next. What's the next section? major profits major profits

19:23

So these are five Major profits and why are they called major profits?

19:29

Five books Five books Yes Good point

19:38

So a prophet was a person commissioned by God to deliver his message to men

19:43

So if you want to think about it this way God is up here men are down here the prophet is in between and God speaks to the prophet who then delivers

19:54

God's message to the people so it goes down he's a Intercessor or a intermediary

20:01

With the priest same thing God's up here. The priest is in the middle God's people are down here that line goes up the people bring their requests and petitions to the priest and then

20:13

To God that this is Old Testament in the New Testament. We have it even better Because we have the great high priest

20:22

Jesus Christ as the one mediator, right? Now there's one mediator between men and God the man of Christ Jesus so now we can just go directly to God through the

20:34

Lord Jesus, but I'm getting off topic. So the major prophets were who?

20:42

Isaiah Jeremiah Lamentations is a book written by Jeremiah Ezekiel and Daniel and from what

20:52

I understand They're called major prophets because of the size of the books and how long they prophesied for So the next section you think of major prophets, what's the next section?

21:06

And that means that these guys just weren't important that what they wrote didn't really matter Who reads the minor prophets there?

21:13

You just ignore this section, right? Yeah, that would be a

21:19

Blasphemous statement, I think if that if if I were serious, which I am NOT So these are the minor prophets next.

21:27

Yes A good way to remember is five twelve five five twelve adds up to thirty nine five twelve five five twelve

21:36

Is that helpful for people? Yeah, sometimes, you know your mind works in such a way to help you remember.

21:42

Okay. Hey if that works great I was a parts man All right, the minor prophets so obviously their writings are

21:53

Just as much the Word of God as the writings of Moses just as much the Word of God as the major prophets their prophecies are just as important So the minor prophets everyone there's one minor prophet that everybody knows who is that Because they learned about him in Sunday school

22:14

They got swallowed by a great fish Yeah, Jonah, everyone knows Jonah, but the minor prophets are

22:21

Hosea Joel Amos Obadiah Jonah Micah Nahum Habakkuk Zephaniah Haggai Zechariah and Malachi and of course

22:34

Malachi is the final Old Testament book Any questions about so it says the minor prophets these were written these books between 840

22:46

BC and 400 BC any comments on the minor prophets You know and I was joking around earlier, but that is kind of the attitude that some people have you know

22:56

No Christian would put it that way, but these books do often get neglected

23:02

But there's some great content What's what's your favorite?

23:08

Minor -prophet who wants to raise their hand and tell us who your favorite minor prophet is

23:14

Daniel Daniel is considered major Okay, he's your favorite prophet, okay?

23:21

Minor who's your favorite minor prophet Marcus Habakkuk Habakkuk yeah, don't mess with Israel hmm

23:30

Yeah, I preached through Habakkuk Jonah and Joel I think if I had to pick one book.

23:38

That's my favorite it might be Joel, but Zechariah has Zechariah has great prophecy regarding the second coming of Christ so Very important book okay

23:53

Okay all right good Ezekiel most people agree

24:01

Ezekiel is the most difficult book to understand of the prophets I'm sure

24:08

I'm well yeah Yeah, it's it's a it's a difficult read But we should do it you know any sometimes people

24:16

I want to read the Bible every Christian feels like well I should read the Bible, but when you start you get to books like Leviticus or Ezekiel, and it is difficult.

24:25

I mean let's Let's admit to that, but you know life in life sometimes you have to do difficult things

24:35

Sometimes you got to take on a challenge So if there's anyone sitting here this morning who has never read the

24:40

Bible cover -to -cover Let me challenge you and plead with you read it cover -to -cover.

24:46

I Promise it will change Change your life change your outlook

24:53

It'll change something because it's it's the Word of God I believe

24:58

God will see that and he will bless that when he sees your commitment to read all of that is that The more often you read it the more familiar you become of it and you come with it and also it also gives you a proper perspective of who

25:22

God is what he's done, what he wants to do and of course Jesus Christ Yep So if you repeatedly read it year to year you say oh yeah

25:32

I remember this from the last time I read it and then sometimes you can go back to it and repeat it again

25:38

I'm going through Job again and I've already read it um back in the day Yeah good you had your hand up Yeah when you said challenge and so forth

25:49

I was thinking there's another good challenge and that is memorize the books in order

25:55

Right so we had a memory verse and we have a memory verse so what was the memory verse 2nd

26:02

Timothy 3 .16 2nd Timothy 3 .16 and I botched it last week Yeah and it's

26:08

NAS Yeah so KJV and not KJV I was talking to Tanya I'm like okay make sure

26:15

I'm getting it all right and she's no no that's wrong wrong word and I'm like what Yeah it's the different translation

26:23

All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine reproof correction and instruction and righteousness that the man of God may be perfect thoroughly equipped for every good work throw in 17 for good measure who memorized

26:43

I shouldn't call on I shouldn't call on people does anyone else want to give it a try it's one thing to memorize it but to do it in front of a group of people is a whole different ballgame

26:56

All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction and righteousness

27:06

KJV 1611 Woo Alright Are you sure that was 1611

27:15

I can't remember my own birthday Yeah and if you do memorize scripture just a word of advice stick with one translation

27:28

I read the KJV up until whatever I was 25 so the verses

27:33

I had memorized were all in the KJV then I first time I read through the Bible it was the

27:39

NIV and then memorizing some from the NIV then I permanently switched to the new

27:44

KJV which I've been on ever since so now yeah it kind of messes you up it does

27:51

I would stick with one translation that's my advice yes

27:56

Jim When I was going to Coal Falls College I had a class and part of the class was that we were supposed to memorize an uncertain number of verses and of course like you

28:11

I learned all my verses in King James but when it came time to do the paper

28:18

I did it from memory but I used the NAACP for every verse

28:24

I had the professor made a comment Now there are 16 verses in the NIV that you won't be able to memorize because they're not there and there are some other translations that have verses removed but yeah sticking with one translation is helpful and then one other thing because let's say you can quote scripture like that but you never really spend the time to think about it meditate about what it means so we would kind of look foolish if we just rattled off quoting scripture and then said yeah but what does that mean and you're like a deer in the headlights so also if you're going to memorize a passage know the context know what it means that's really helpful as well yes

29:07

Marcus You're very fortunate if you can find someone else who wants to memorize scripture and you're going to have to go along with their version if you are that lucky

29:20

I do have that person Giles is that person for me but he's a

29:26

King James only and I have to translate everything Good to have that accountability with somebody else.

29:33

Okay now let's move to the New Testament books. How many New Testament books are there? 27 so 39 and 27 equals 66 books says the

29:46

New Testament or New Covenant and really the terms are interchangeable although when someone says

29:53

New Testament they're often talking about the scriptures rarely would anyone use

29:59

New Covenant to talk about the scriptures but really it means the same thing

30:05

New Testament or New Covenant reveals Jesus Christ the Redeemer of men in it we find in the

30:12

New Testament we find the life of Christ the way of salvation the beginning of Christianity which would be what book?

30:21

Acts Acts of the Apostles instruction for Christian living which would be the epistles and then

30:27

God's plan for the future and you know what that book is Revelation although there are people that would say

30:35

Revelation is not a book of future prophecy we are futurists here at Morris Corner Church there's more and more churches abandoning that viewpoint or they look at the book of Revelation they interpret it differently we believe that is future prophecy the first three chapters yeah are in the past John writes to the seven churches but starting in chapter 4 and onward chapter 6 through 19 speak of the

31:04

Great Tribulation which we believe is future so I think as time goes on we find ourselves in the minority of the two billion people or so on earth who profess to be

31:18

Christians those who believe that Revelation is future prophecy we are the minority still the majority within evangelicalism perhaps but so that kind of grieves me a little bit because I you know again it's sort of like the scripture being inspired well what good would it be to inspire it if you didn't preserve it well well anyway

31:46

I'm gonna I'm not gonna go off on that history let's let's move on five books of history the

31:56

Gospels the first four books everyone knows the Gospels Matthew Mark Luke and John two of these men were not apostles which meant men were not apostles okay right

32:14

Luke and Mark so Matthew talks about the life of Christ written especially for the

32:21

Jews revealing Jesus Christ as their long -awaited Messiah Mark reveals the life of Christ his his this is how it's broken down Matthew writes to the

32:32

Jews portrays Jesus as King Mark writes to the

32:37

Romans portraying Jesus as a servant Luke writes to the Greeks portraying the humanity of Christ John writes to the whole world portraying the deity of Christ that's usually how it's broken down all right here here's a question what two reasons are given for the writing of John's Gospel so I don't want someone who filled that in to raise their hand and give me what you wrote two reasons are given for the writing of John's Gospel what are they hold on hand we gotta have hand

33:09

Brad that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ and that believing in him you might have life through his name okay good and that's that's based on John 20 verse 31 did anyone else have anything different all right next history of the early church so there's only one there's 12 historical books in the

33:38

Old Testament only one historical book in the New Testament and what is it the

33:43

Acts of the Apostles some would argue it could be or should be called the

33:49

Acts of the Holy Spirit but traditionally it's been called the Acts of the Apostles this is the one historical book it says the beginning and spread of the

33:59

Christian church it could be called the Acts of the Holy Spirit and was written as an evangelistic tool an evangelistic tool why why would that be it was because it's actually a bridge book it takes us from the life of Christ in the gospels to the practice and how to live yeah this is something that people often point out

34:34

I would consider the book of Acts a transitional book there's the transition from the gospels to the epistles but it's also a transition from old covenant to new covenant a transition from Israel to the church from Jew to Gentile so we would consider it a transitional book if you don't remember anything else about the book of Acts remember that write it down who takes notes it is a transitional book is that a hand or you just take notes okay all right now we move on to the letters or the epistles how many epistles are there says these books were written to individuals to churches or to believers in general the letters deal with every aspect of Christian faith and responsibility list them in order somebody could do this from memory

35:39

I mean that would be impressive and here's another thing not only read the

35:45

Bible cover to cover be challenged to memorize the books of the

35:51

Bible in order Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy Joshua, Judges, Ruth I could never do that yes you can you absolutely could do it you can if you tell yourself you can we used to do that in Sunday school here right a lot of kids learn that in Sunday school and it's like a lot of things if you don't refresh your memory every once in a while you'll start to lose it but yeah hey that's why we're here and that's why we're here well

36:22

I think I know everything that we're talking about this is all pretty basic well yeah in some ways this is basic information but if you're not in church and you're not going back to the basics every once in a while then it gets a little rusty because it's our job to be able to communicate all of the basics to to other people yeah

36:44

Larry just as you have just read that these letters deal with every aspect of Christian faith and responsibility each one of us are responsible for our lives and how we use
