What is the Bible about?

[JLG]

Don't forget the Bible is an Eastern Book.

- Yes with two different cultures and two different languages corresponding to two different times!

 

[David in NJ]

Romans 11:25-32===
25Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,

“The Deliverer will come from Zion,
he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;
27“and this will be my covenant with them
when I take away their sins.”

28As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.29For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy.32 For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.

Do you believe this???

 

[GISMYS_7]

Who dares deny the truth of God's eternal living Word???
Romans 11:25-32===
25Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written.
Ezekiel 39==
Israel =will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind. 29 I will no longer hide my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.”

- Not for me!
- I chose Biblehub because it not only gives the original and its translation but also the grammar of the words and a dictionary at the same time!
- The way you put it has absolutely no interest for me!
- I am a linguist and this way is too limited!

In regards to the OP, the bible, as we have it, is a detailing of God's character, his love of man, his plans and his commands for believers to follow !

Now, it can be, and is argued, as to what is the true form of the bible, per preferred translation of individuals. However, the apostle Paul said this,
Romans 1:16
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Regardless it's archaic language, it's multiple diverse definitions of words; the word of God explains unto any that will believe, his plan of redemption for mankind and the reconciliation of the lost unto righteousness in him !

And yet many seem to omit the BELIEVES WORD . HMMMM , that wont bode well on the day of the LORD .
FOR IT IS the POWER of GOD unto SALVATION unto everyone who ...................I BELIEVE that do say BELEIVES .
Exactly sister . The gospel of JESUS CHRIST is under attack by an agenda today . But the lambs WONT be heeding the agenda
the lie . lambs heed only one . JESUS CHRIST . and a strangers voice they will FROM and FAST TOO .
FOR ITS JESUS who has the lambs . its the devil who holds captive the world to a lie and his agenda that will never save one soul .
WE GONNA POINT TO JESUS CHRIST , aint we dear sister . AND TO HE and HE ALONE . HIS EVERY WORD is our meat .

@L.A.M.B. says: "Now, it can be, and is argued, as to what is the true form of the bible....."

As you pointed out = the "true form" is the CHRIST = to the Jew first and also to the Gentile

- It reminds me of Daniel prayer for the restoration of Jerusalem and the answer of Yah.weh!
- Restoration followed by destruction!
- It is a strange love!
- It also reminds me of the new Jerusalem coming from heaven really different from the old one (Revelation 21)!
- It has nothing but nothing from the human old city!
- This one is really precious!
- And there is no more human temple because Yah.weh and the Lamb are its temple!
- Completely different!
- And nothing unclean will never enter it nor anyone who practices an abominat(ion or a lie but only those whose names are written in the lamb's book of life!

Why do you place a 'period' after Yah???

- No I prefer the vertical system of Biblehub!
- It is definitely easier to read!

Not completely JLG the throne was David's!...but I get your meaning.

Why do you place a 'period' after Yah???

- In fact, there is no period with or after Yah!
- There is only a minority of faithful servants of Yah.weh!
- The rest is only unfaithfulness!
- like in the case of mankind!

Such a dark view of God.

 

[Aunty Jane]

Such a dark view of God.

There is no darkness in justice. Yahweh is not a sentimental God, but a merciful one. Mercy is extended when he deems it is deserved. The people of Noah’s day ‘missed the boat’......because they failed to heed Noah’s warning and change their ways......the majority of people alive at the judgment of the “sheep and the goats”, are going to find themselves bleating ‘goat like’, rather than ‘sheep like’. (Matt 7:21-23) This will be shocking to them as they try to offer their excuses......but Jesus says “I never knew you”....”NEVER” means “not ever”....so people will have been fooling themselves all their lives....just like the ones who perished at the flood. Won’t it be interesting to see what Jesus has to say to each one of us......?

 

[St. SteVen]

but Jesus says “I never knew you”....”NEVER” means “not ever”

So much for omniscience.

Won’t it be interesting to see what Jesus has to say to each one of us......?

I have a theory that everyone will be surprised by where they end up.

Matthew 21:31 NIV
... Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes
are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.

 

[Aunty Jane]

So much for omniscience.

Where does it say that Christ is omniscient? Only God is Omnicient…..only God is Almighty.

I have a theory that everyone will be surprised by where they end up.

The Bible does not contain theories….just plain instructions on what it means to be a “Christian”. When Jesus says “I never knew you” to those he rejects, even though they acknowledge him as their “Lord”, he tells those ones to “depart from him“ as those who are “workers of lawlessness”. (Matt 7:21-23) They don’t get second chances, like those in Noah’s day who failed to heed his warning. Jesus already told us that “few” would be found on the cramped and narrow road to life. (Matthew 7:13-14)

God has given all mankind enough time to make up their mind about who he is and what he requires of us humans.

Matthew 21:31 NIV
... Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes
are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.

Figuratively speaking…yes…. the corrupt tax collectors who worked for the Roman government by extorting money from their own brothers, and the prostitutes who sold their bodies for money, were guilty of crimes against God’s laws, and such crimes could merit the death penalty…..such unrighteous ones will likely get a resurrection when Jesus rules with his elect in God’s Kingdom (John 5:28-29)…..but the Pharisees, whom Jesus was addressing, were sentenced to “Gehenna”.…a fate that meant eternal death. (Matthew 23:33)
