The Bible

The Bible is the Book of Life, given to reveal the mind of Yah.

It contains an inspired message from the Creator.

Its author is infallible; therefore, it is infallible.

It contains a living message written to enlighten the mind of man,

And if understood in the Spirit in which it is written,.

It will mark a clear path for life’s journey.

If man is not guided by the Spirit of truth, he is a lost soul wandering in darkness.

He knows nothing concerning his pilgrimage here.

He knows not who he is, nor why he is here on earth.

He holds no hope for the future to quicken his soul and light his path.

He has no knowledge of the kingdom or of the principle on which it is founded;

Therefore, he cannot truly judge right from wrong; he is a builder without a blue print or plum line.

He has no mirror to view the face of his soul,

nor balance on which he may weight his true worth.

He has neither, reason for being, nor hope after his death.

All of his acts and labors seem without value,

because he knows not what purpose they serve,

they are as snowflakes in the spring.

He has no book of rules to defend his actions,

No law by which he may rightly judge his works.

Without the Bible, man is a stranger to himself.

He knows not where he came from, nor how to fulfill his mission in life.

He has neither food for his soul, nor drink to refresh his spirit,

nor can he hear an inner voice of comfort.

In spite of his lack, he finds no strength outside of himself to draw from.

He has no life-giving word to energize him and give him renewed courage and hope.

He is a judge without a law book, a contestant without rules or a prize;

he is a warrior without a commander. He has no hope for victory in battle.

If he is a creature without the awareness of his Creator,

to his own comprehension, he is nothing more than an illusion fading with time.
