2. AS the Bible is One in its entirety, it
is known as "The Books" 1.-The One
Book" Each book is in its ordained place
a part of the whole, not one can be dispensed
with. For instance, Genesis and Revelation
are the beginning and the contamination of
the Divine Volume.
3. About forty men were used in writing
the Bible; 1000 years were covered. Moses
was the first; John was the last.
4. Jesus said the Bible-the New Tesla
ment-would be written.
1 have yet many things to say unto you,
but We cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when He, Spirit of Truth, is come,
He will guide you into all truth: for He shall
not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He
shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will
shew you things to come John 1912, Is.
5. The human writers of the Bible were
divinely guided. II Peter :21-Holy men
spake and wrote as they were moved by the
Holy Spirit. This is called-The Inspira-
tion of The Bible, The Bible is inspired in
its sentences, its thoughts, and in the very
words. Note such words as
DClOlC, III GpllCSldIlS II.
From in Matthew Is a.
'fUnto Him Who is able to keep you from
falling" in Jude a. and,
IF you do these things you shall never
fall" in II Peter :1O-11.
'Work out your own salvation" in Philip
plans 2:12; and,
1T is God Who worketh in you" of
Verse Thirteen.
II. THE BIBLE MUST BE PROPERLY DIVIDED
if understood, and made understandable to
others.
Study to shew myself approved unto God,
workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the Word of Truth.-II limo
thy 2:16.
l. The Bible is all written to, and about,
three different classes q Corinthians 49,
32), the Jew (IsraeD, the Gentle, the
Church of God.
The Gentle is not the Jew;
The Jew is not the Church;
The Church is neither Jew nor Gentle.

Cd The Great White Throne Judgment
And saw Great White Throne, and Him
Who sat on it, from Whose face the earth and
the Heaven fed away; and there was found no
place for them.
And saw the dead, small and great, stand
before God; and the books were opened: and
of Life: and the dead were judged out of
those things which were written in the books,
according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were
in it; and death and Hades delivered up the
dead which were in them: and they were
judged every man according to their works
And death and Hades were cast into the
lake of fire. This is the second death.
And whatsoever was not found written in
the Book of Life was cast into the lake of
deterioration 20:11-15.

in the which all that are in the graves shall
hear His voice, u
And shall come forth; they that have done
good, unto the resurrection of life; and they
that have done evil, unto the resurrection of
damnation.
