NIELSEN 12/3
I would like a reply to these questions (John Williston and Matthew
Burdette were both afraid to touch them).
1) How many books are there supposed to be in what is called The Bible?
Five, 39, 45, 66, 72, or more than 72?
2) Whatever number you decide on, did you get your answer from the Bible?
3) Where in your Bible does it say that all of it is The Word of God?
4) The Sabbath, which runs from sundown Friday through sundown Saturday,
was instituted by God Himself. Keeping the Sabbath is one of God's Ten
Commandments; the penalty for breaking it is death by stoning. Yet nearly
all Christians do not keep the Sabbath. Can you show us anywhere in the
Bible where God Himself changed His mind about the day of the Sabbath.
(Don't forget that Jesus kept the Sabbath, too.)
5) Paul wrote, "... that Christ died for our sins according to the
Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day
according to the Scriptures" (1 Cor. 15:3-4). Where in the Hebrew
Scriptures does it say this?
Dave, I hope you get a chance to ask these questions about the Bible
at your conference. Thanks, Ralph.
