 Lesson: Facts about our Faith
II Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." The Bible (from Koine Greek , ta biblia “the books”—a paper or scrool) a collections of sacred texts or scriptures that was Christians considered to be a product of divine inspiration and a record of the relationship between God and humans. The word Bible means a collection of writings or library of books. II Timothy 2:15 “Righty divide His word. II Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
The Septuagint , or the LXX, is a translation of the Hebrew Scriptures and some related texts into Koine Greek, began in the late 3rd century BCE and completed by 132 BCE, originally in Alexandria, but in time it was completed elsewhere as well. The oldest extant copy of a complete Bible is an early 4th –century parchment book preserved in the Vertical Library, and it is known as the Codex Vaticanus.
Major Division of the Old Testament The Pentateuch - five scroll-cases, (Commonly the first five books of the Bible) – The Hebrew –speaking Jewish community referred to these five books as “The Law,” “Torah,” or “The Law of Moses.” Torah – means “teaching” or “instruction.”
New Testament Gospels (Gospel by four so called by Eusebius) or (Synoptic Gospels)
Pastoral Epistles (All three are letters from an old man at the close of his ministry who is concerned for his successors in the pastorate. As such, the letters concern the things that would be crucial for the young pastors to understand—church organization and discipline, including such matters as the appointment of elders and deacons, the opposition of rebellious members or false teachers, and the maintenance of doctrinal purity.)
Prison Epistles (The Prison Epistles refer to four letters in the New Testament written by the apostle Paul during his time under house arrest in Rome between approximately 60—62 AD. The first three of these epistles were written to specific local groups of Christians in the cities for which the books were named. Ephesians was written to the believers at Ephesus and covers areas of doctrine (chapters 1—3) and application (chapters 4—6). Of great importance is this letter's emphasis on salvation by grace through faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9), church unity (Ephesians 4), and spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:10-18).
What did Thomas Jefferson believe? The Jefferson Bible, or The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth as it is formally titled, was a book constructed by Thomas Jefferson in the latter years of his life by cutting and pasting with a razor and glue numerous sections from the New Testament as extractions of the doctrine of Jesus. Jefferson's condensed composition is especially notable for its exclusion of all miracles by Jesus and most mentions of the supernatural, including sections of the four gospels which contain the Resurrection and most other miracles, and passages indicating Jesus were divine. Jefferson cut and pasted his arrangement of selected verses from the King James Version[8] of the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in chronological order, putting together excerpts from one text to those of another in order to create a single narrative. This Bible Study Was Written And Taught By Rev. Jesse Adams (M.Div.), Senior Pastor of Oak Level Baptist Church in N.C.
