About the Bible

I read this letter from Ebenezer, someone from India. The topic was about the Bible, and what it means, if it is a great book, just a book, or is the message the very words of God. Here is his letter:

From Chennai - India

If indeed the Bible is just another great book and Jesus Christ just another teacher, we would do well to dump this book in the nearest dust bin, forget all about the message and person of Christ and carry on merrily or miserably with the difficult business of life.

It is a well known belief amongst men of letters that one finds some thing new in the great classics in every fresh reading, since these books are creations of greatly endowed minds.

Well, take the bible ( not the RC version which includes a lot of non canonical books), any language, any version, flip open at random and read that chapter you chance upon once in the morn, the same chapter again once in the noon and once more at night.

This reading would take no more than 10 minutes at the most.

And blessed be ye be when you find that the matter that your mind confronts in every reading is completely different from that of the the previous reading.

This is so my friend since the inspirer of the matter you read is God The Holy Spirit.

All are welcome to repeat this "test" for as many times as they might desire.

I belong to the land of the Vedas, the most ancient group of books written and they all fall flat on this "test"

One may well judge by this test that there is no other book in this world of men and in the world of books, that is so self evidently divine.

In Christ Jesus

Ebenezer
