I have learnt more about God and the bible because this proves that the bible is real from what Isaiah said and then it being in Matthew, Luke, John, Romans, Peter, Philippines and some of the other books in the New Testament. What i have learnt in this investigation influences the way I live in that always believe trust what the bible says
