It can be read or downloaded or printed from this site.

It's a great book.

For all of the responses no one has directly answered the question...is the Bible the sole source of truth for Christians?glasses


Well - that's a pretty loaded question. I found that the text book I taught algerba one out of to be fairly truthful in light of it's established premises. I think that one can find truth in many sources. However - when those sources run contradictory to the truths I find in the bible - I defer to the bible.

Well Im not Christian but I have been looking at the bible the last 6 months or so and posting all of my issues. Sometimes people argue. Im not going to sit here and go down a list because its too many to even write down all together now. If you click on that number by my name you can probably look back at some of the posts if you are interested.

Thanks I'll checkem out as I said I am rather curiousglasses However, I'm with you I don't do the debate things as it is kinda fruitless. But I am always open to see the views of someone else...oh as a personal note there are those sources that can give you added insight. You might want to check out the Nag Hammadi Library

All scripture is inspired:

II Tim 3:16-17

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

17: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

"All scripture" Greek- pasa graphe (singular)


Also:

II Peter 1:21

For the prophesy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake (as they were moved) by the Holy Spirit.


God also promised to preserve his word forever, every one of his words.

Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

I Peter 1:24-25
24: For all flesh is as grass and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

25: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Matthew 24:35 - Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.+
