Why is it that the bible is not an ongoing body of work?

God's final word to mankind is Jesus Christ and the Gospel........

"In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven."

Hebrews 1:1-3

To those who refuse to hear the message of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Scriptures of the New Testament and through the proclamation of the Gospel by His appointed ministers, God really has nothing more to say.

Because it is complete.....

Is the Bible true?

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Did you know that the Bible is self authenticating?

You may think how could this be or what do I mean?

Well let me explain…..

The Bible is comprised of Hebrew in the Old Testament

and Greek in the New Testament. The Hebrews and the

Greeks use their alphabets as their numbering system.

This means that their words also represent

numbers as a co-incidence of this previous fact.

This system of interpreting words as numbers of

significance is known as Gematria. For example the

number *eight* in the bible is a number that represents a

new beginning. The name Jesus in the Greek is Ἰησοῦς

where the letter Ἰ=10 η=8 σ=200 ο=70 ῦ=400 ς=200

….thus the total for His name is 888.

This can be sourced at the following unbiased links….

http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numb...

Now this in itself may not be that surprising…..

But this principle has been applied in a similar fashion to

the first verse of the Old Testament and the first verse of

the Gospel of John in the New Testament….both verses

relate to Creation and Origins. The results are surprising

to say the least. The author claims there is a 1 in ten

billion chance of it occurring. The formula that is applied is

kind of suspicious but since it is the same formula applied

to both verses the result achieved for both verses is so

unique it is undoubtedly the hand of God.

The results are 3.141554509 and 2.718312812 for

Genesis 1v1 and John 1v1 respectively

Which is the value of Pi and e within 0.0012%

and 0.0011% respectively!

Matthew describes Jesus as a King

Mark describes Jesus as a Servant (humble)

Luke describes Jesus as the Son of Man (Perfect)

John describes Jesus as the Son of God

Matthew = Purple = Lion = Royalty

Mark = Red = Ox = Sin/Sacrifice

Luke = White = Man = Righteous

John = Blue = Eagle = Heavenly

The colours(& tone) are those used

in the Holy veil in the Temple.

The bible continually weaves facts with indescribable

codes and symbols that over a period of approximately

1600 years leaves no doubt as to it's author.

The first Prophet of note in the Bible is Enoch. He named

his Son Methuselah. Mut is the Hebrew word for death

and Shalach is the Hebrew word for sent. Prophetically

his name means it is sent when he dies. The year that

M@thuwshelach died was the year the flood was sent.

Similarly……

If you take all the names of Adam through to

Christ it is a hidden gospel message....

Isaiah is a mini-bible comprising of 66 chapters each

representing the 39 documents of the Old Testament

and 27 documents of the New Testament....

…6 is the number of man.

Finally….

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Without even touching on all the fulfilled and yet

to be fulfilled Prophecies contained in the Bible

it is without doubt the Word of God.

One example is Israel becoming

a Nation on Pentecost 1948...

Anticipated Comeback……

The formula is consistent for both verses......if it was

a different formula for each verse I think there would

be a case to dismiss it.

Firstly....

English is not *alpha=numeric* like Hebrew and Greek.

Secondly....

Let's say you achieved a particular result for this

post with a particular formula.....let's say the

result was Pythagoras Constant [√ 2].

Let's then take another post and apply

the same formula.....and the result was

the Golden Ratio [(1+√ 5)/2].

What then would the relationship be between the two?

The significance of Pi and e is the formula

known as Euler's Identity..... e ^ (π i) + 1 = 0

Quote[Euler's identity is considered by many

to be remarkable for its mathematical beauty.

These three basic arithmetic operations occur

exactly once each: addition, multiplication,

and exponentiation. The identity also links

five fundamental mathematical constants:]Unquote

If you can find such significance within

your post I will be most interested.

BTW Euler was a Christian.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

.......besides Christians are living Epistles.....

2 Corinthians 3v3 ........ http://biblos.com/2_corinthians/3-3.htm

Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the

epistle of Christ ministered by us written not with ink

but with the Spirit of the living God not in tables of

stone but in fleshy tables of the heart.

Nothing in a spiritual sense is an 'ongoing body of work' it is all there. On going body of work only applies to moving things around on and in the earths surface. It is the individual that comes to awareness of spirituality, gradually or suddenly. Spirituality doesn't change, ever, only mans idea of what it is changes.

The bible is just an ancient historical novel. Nobody is interested in writing a sequel.

it is an ongoing body of work.

the old testament was the rough draft of the bible, although it was leaked and everyone was like oh **** this is real?

then the new testament came along and was like oh God changed his mind about that, God's master plan always has him changing his mind.

and then sects keep occuring that add to the stories and **** happens and we all die the end.

Because this isn't science where you make it up as you go along old chap !

the Bible is complete. if you do not like that or cannot understand why, i suggest you take it up with God. He wrote it.

In hell the bible has been updated
