Amazing Bible Facts

  The Bible claim that it is God's word The Bible is unique because of the claim made by many of it's writers. Some 40 individuals, including Kings, shepherds, fishermen, civil servants, priests, at least one general, and a physician, had a hand in writing the different parts of the Bible. But time and again, the writers made the same claim: that they were writing not their own thoughts but God's. In harmony with the claim that it is God's word, not man's, the Bible answers questions that only God can answer. It explains for example why human governments have not been able to bring lasting peace, how humans can find the deepest satisfaction in life, and what the future holds for the earth and mankind upon it.
