1. Vatican 2 DEI VERIBUM should be readable to you if you are above 8th grade. Please read it. The important qualities of the Bible are quite lengthy. Scripture is a product of a community who's faith in God already exists. It is a testimony to that faith and that belief system. It is "God breathed" but it is also written by human hands using human language and ideas. It is revelation, that is, it is God revealing to humanity who he is, what he has done, and what he wishes. Scripture is part of a large framework of the relationship between God and humanity and must be read and understood within this context. Scripture is not "the truth" per say, but rather it points to the truth, that is that it points to Christ, who is the fullest of God's revelation to humanity. As such, the Christian life does not rest on scripture, but it rests IN scripture. The testimony of scripture is many things, history, myth, poems, parables, wisdom lit, but all these forms reveal truth and in doing so, we say there is no error in scripture (not because everything is exact but because they exactly reveal Christ). Scripture reveals a literal truth, a moral truth, a truth about Christ, and a truth about the summation of all things in Christ (teleological/apocalyptic).

2.) I do not understand your question exactly but I take it to mean "According to Scripture, who are we?". According to scripture, humanity is 1.) A creation of God, that was designed to know God as he is 2.) A good creation 3.) A creation that is linked together as a whole social organism 4.) The sin of Adam resulted in the condition of all of humanity (Original sin) 5.) However each fallen human is still a good creation but flawed and deeply broken 6.) God wishes to restore humanity to himself so that humanity might fulfill its purpose and be happy 7.) Through the election of individuals, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and finally Israel, God gathered humanity to himself 8.) The Father sent his only Son to humanity to reunite, through the flesh, humanity with God and show humanity the way. 9.) Christ revealed the triune nature of God, that is he revealed the Father and the Spirit to humanity and brought humanity into an even fuller understanding and relationship. 10.) Christ showed that the way back to the Father is to die to the world, that is to all things that are not in accord with the will of the Father. 11.) Christ sent the Spirit to vivify man and to create in man a new creation, now not just a creation, but an adopted family 12.) Christ instituted the Church and her mysteries (sacraments) as both the gathering place of the family of God, a means of healing from sin, and a path of progress into a constant unending relationship with God 13.) Christ proclaimed the kingdom, a new heaven and a new earth, which though not fully realized, is present now within the Church. 14.) Here humanity is called to theosis with God.

4.) The importance of Salvation History is that this is true history. This is history rightly ordered so that we can see its design, its progress, and its purpose, which is so that all things will find their end in Christ. It is not simply related to the salvation of humanity by Christ, but it is also the totality of history. The Lord is the Lord of History, and salvation history is the chronicling of the Lord's activity and relationship with humanity.

The Bible is like a letter from God telling us the answers to lifes questions and a lot about him what his standards ,laws are and what he expects of us what are place and pourpose in life and our responsibilities and what work hhe wants us to do it tells about the history of mankind so we can see from his past dealings what behavbiour he accepts and rewards and what he doesnt and deals with it tells us why the world is in the shape it is in and what he is going to do about it in the future as well as how to tell false religion from true and how we can learn from the mistakes of the past so we dont repeat them again it is honest and totally accurate it tells us that all men are sinners no exceptions ... and what provision he has now made for us to be forgiven on the basis of Jesus ransom sacrifice and that their is ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN AND THAT IS JESUS CHRIST!!! it also tells us Gods personal name at Ps 83:18 OKJV you really need to spend more time on reading the Bible and see for your self and develop a personal relationship based on an accurate knowledge of the Scriptures John 17 :3 if you need any more info you can contact me via E-Mail Gorbalizer

Answer 3

The most important quality of the Bible is that it is the holy, inerrant, infallible, inspired word of God. And the only way to salvation is through a personal relationship with Christ.

God Bless You

Answer 4

1. The Bible is a unique book in the world. It was written over
a period of about 1500 years and has multiple authors in
multiple time periods and locations, yet there is a unity which
which runs through it that runs through no other book, either
secular or religious.
The Bible says it is the Word of God to man and that it teaches everything we need to know about God and man's relationship to him.

The Bible is an historical record and not a collection of mythgs.

2. The Bible shows us that man was created by God to have
have fellowship with him. He created man in the image of God,
but subservient to him, but sharing in all that God is. Man's sin separated us from God eternally and brought death into the world. The power of sin is death says the the Bible.
3. Salvation history shows us that God so love the world,
the people that sinned against him, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever would believe in Him would not perish, eternally, away from the presence of God, yet conscious (for the soul is eternal, having been created), but that we would have everlasting life, joyous, loving God and being loved in return, and by our life lived in and with and for him, glorifying the Creator as he meant us to in the beginning, before Adam sinned.

Answer 5

1 the important qualities is it is the foundation of our faith. It is Gods word. No human can override it. No human has the authority to change it.

Who we are ? we are sinners. The Holy Spirit does the communication. You should study the bible for yourself. This is important.

Answer 6

There is not one answer to these questions. They are generally denomination-based. If you tell your denomination, it may be possible to try an educated guess. My current guess is that you have some offered reading material that you could look through to answer the questions.

Answer 7

First, all of the prophets have been 'uncomplicated' human beings such as you and me. in addition to, Paul become chosen via God and he become a terrible individual who had Christians killed for what they believed, and yet you carry close on his each word (you examine it all of the time on your bible and quote it). Peter become a tax collector, and yet he become appointed the chief, having super faith in Jesus. 2d, you call for team spirit, and yet you're separated from all different Christians calling your self 'non-denominational'. in case you learn Christian background, you will see that interior the early centuries there become deferring ideals yet basically one Church. That Church (be careful in case you disagree given which you call Jesus a liar in case you do) remains in existence to this present day. as a remember of actuality, there heavily isn't team spirit, and we've been instructed this: "yet I genuinely have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed i'm till it quite is carried out! Do you think of I got here to hold peace in the worldwide? No, I enable you understand, yet branch. to any extent further there will be 5 in one kin divided against one yet another, 3 against 2 and a pair of against 3. they are going to be divided, father against son and son against father, mom against daughter and daughter against mom, important different's mom against daughter-in-regulation and daughter-in-regulation against important different's mom." Luke 12:50-55 Calling for team spirit into something that may no longer the reality (what become given to us via the Christ) is precisely what the Anti-Christ will do. he will additionally look for to destroy the church, and you and the numerous others available like your self would be satisfied to maintain on with alongside with him (if he arrives throughout it sluggish).
