I find the most compelling argument for the Bible being the Word of God is the Unique Revelation of Jesus Christ. He is by far‚ the greatest man that ever walked the face of the earth. Essentially every aspect of human life has been changed in some way‚ because of the life & teachings of Jesus. As a follower of Christ it is not merely what He taught‚ but who the person of Jesus Christ claimed to be and what he practiced while He was here on earth that convinces me of who He is.

However‚ viewed from a more contemporary political perspective‚ The Book of Ruth can also be approached as a narrative of a trafficked agricultural laborer.

How has Christianity‚ a faith based on the teachings of one text (the Bible)‚ divided into so many denominations? It is because people like to tailor and control their beliefs to suit their own needs and conveniences. In plain words‚ selfishness causes it.

The word “love” has become an overused word that people use for everything. What I find discomforting is the
