God's Communication

	Now we need to address another foundation stone of our spiritual beliefs.  How do we know the Bible is of God?  And not just written by men? First let’s examine the scriptural citations before we look at the prophetic evidence.
II Timothy 3:16	Apostle Paul states that "all scripture is given by inspiration of God,..."
II Peter 1:20-21	Apostle Peter further expounds that..."no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.  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."  To me it seems a minor thing for men to write the things they were led of God to write.  However, it is not a bad thing to question the authenticity of written documents either.  There are a myriad of publications and doctrines in print today and we should question the accuracy of each and every one of them.  How do we do that?  The same way that the people of Berea did of the Apostles back in the day of Apostle Paul.
Acts 17:11	They compared what he and the other Apostles said to the written scripture daily to see if what they said was true.  If God did author the whole Bible and He is an all-knowing God (which He is) then He would make sure that there was no conflict in His instructions which is the work of God, the Bible.  It is, therefore, incumbent upon us to use this same method of comparing what is spoken and written today with what is in the Bible to insure it is “Good Preaching”
I Corinthians 2:7-14	No doubt there is much in the word that is not understood by the unsaved, because it is hid from their knowledge.  Therefore, it is easy to see why many "claim" there is error in the Bible.  However, intense study of the word by spiritual men have found no conflict between different passages of scripture nor between scripture and science or between scripture and proven history .
	This accuracy and the fact that the Bible was penned by so many men (at the direction of God) over a period of several centuries is clear evidence that every word was inspired by God.
