The Unity Of The 44 Writers
by Dr. Harry Rimmer

            If the Bible were one book written by a single author on one subject, we would naturally expect all of its parts and sections to harmonize and agree. But if it were one book written by 44 men on one subject, the chances of complete unanimity would be very slight. Therefore, to say that 44 men wrote 66 books on 50 different subjects and their words are in complete and perfect agreement leaves the mind too stunned to accept the unbelievable fact! Then we rally and say: "There must have been close collaboration and incessant conference to achieve so remarkable a work! To which history replies, "NO, there was no collaboration. Most of these men never saw each other and had no chance to plan or revise their utterances. The coincidence must be explained some other way!". 
            The fact cannot be gainsaid: there is complete unity between all the parts and writers of the scriptures. Never, in any single instance or incident, does one writer contradict another. They agree in the most minor and insignificant details. So, the diversity of the Bible only serves to introduce the greater wonder of the unity of the wonderful WORD!
            We do well to call the Bible a book, or even The Book. IT is one uniform record, a living, closely knit organization. It is true that both the Old Testament and the New Testament are complete in themselves, but neither is complete without the other. That sounds like a paradox but consider the figure of a tree. Can you separate the roots and the fruit of a tree? 
            One is the source of the other, and the second becomes the reason for the first. In like manner, the New Testament has its roots in the Old Testament, and the Old Testament comes to fruition in the New Testament, the New is concealed in the New Testament, the Old is revealed"

            One thing Brother Rimmer did not say, the Bile was written over a period of time about 1500 years and on three different continent (Asia, Europe and Africa) -

            "It must be felt that there is no national security but in the nation's humble acknowledge dependence upon God"
                                            John Adams, 
                                                2nd president of the United States


            "Morality without religion is a tree without roots, a stream without any spring to feed it, a house built on the sand, a pleasant place to live until the heavens grow dark and the storm begins to beat."

            "Even if you don't have faith to do it, if it's the right thing to do it, just go ahead and do it anyhow"

Part Two of My Trip to the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC

Image
This is the part where they had the King James Bibles. It gave some information on the history of it and there were a few King James Bibles too. There might be other photos of this floor where they have the history of the Bible and they will be part of a different blog. It took up the whole floor. There are six floors of the museum with floor having a different theme / part of the Bible. These photos are nice but one should go to the museum to really experience what they have and learn from what they show.  The upper part of the King James Bible sign. Here is the lower part of the sign above showing Bibles.  Here is the same sign as above.  Here is the king who authorized the creation of the King James Bible; King James. He was King James the VI of Scotland then became King James the 1st of England.  Here is the whole display for King James.  Here are more Bibles. Here is a really big Bible.  They have a varie...

The Lord's Pressence

Image
  I found this in the church bulletin of Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH and found it inspiring. I copied it below. The Lord's Presence by Mrs. Jonathan Goforth May the Lord's presence for the new year be: Above You - To Guard "Know therefore this day and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath there is none else" ( Deut. 4:39 ). Underneath To Support "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee, and shall say say, destroy them" ( Deut. 33:27 ). Behind - As A Rear Guard "For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight, for the Lord will go before you and the God of Israel will be your reward." ( Isa. 52:12 ). Before - To Lead "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight" ( Isa. 45:2 ) At Your Right Hand - To Protect "I have set the Lord always before me, because He is at ...

Lord, Teach Me And Help Me:

Image
  This was copied from the 02/25/2024 bulletin from the Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH . Lord, Teach Me and Help Me;     Teach me, my Lord, to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life-           In the disappointments,          In the thoughtlessness of others,          In the insincerity of those I trusted,           In the unfaithfulness of those whom I relied.     Let me put myself aside          To think of the happiness of others,          To hide my little pains and heartaches  so that I may be           the only one to suffer them. Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path. Let me so use it that it may mellow me;          Not harden nor embitter me;          That it may make me pa...
