Purpose

This thread is intended to answer anyone's questions about Jesus, the Bible and Christianity in general.

The title of this thread is "What you want to know about Christ". My question is actually about the Bible, but I think your quote above says I can ask about that?

Anyway, my question is:

What is the purpose of the Bible?

Re: Purpose

I believe that the purpose of the Bible is to convey God's word and truth to all humans in all generations.

These Scriptures support my answer. Yes, this thread can include questions about the Bible itself.

Oh, that's okay, you didn't need to support it. I was just wondering what the purpose of the Bible was. I've never read the whole thing cover-to-cover so I'm not in much of a position to have my own opinion either way. Thanks for sharing.

The Bible has been around for a long time, I was wondering what it's purpose was and how close it's getting to accomplishing that goal.

How has the Bible progressed since it's inception in "conveying God's word and truth to all humans in all generations?"

That is, how good of a job is the Bible doing in it's purpose?

Doesn't He already know me?

So, if you don't mind, I think that the question should be rephrased to say; 'How good a job is the church doing of its purpose of spreading the Bible?'

No problem, that's what I meant anyway.

To be honest, I don't think that the church as a whole is doing that great a job. That is one of the reasons I started this thread, to reach those who have questions and are searching for something more in their lives.

Thanks for your honesty. It's nice to hear that you're willing to take initiative in attempting to help others.

I pray that you would come to know Him personally. He (Jesus Christ) wants to get to know you.

Thanks. This sparks another question in my mind, though. I thought Jesus already knew everything? Why would He be concerned with getting to know me? Wouldn't He already know me?

Thanks again for your answers. Umm... may peace follow your path

Re: Doesn't He already know me?

I guess I should rephrase that to He wants you to get to know Him. If that makes sense? Sorry about that.

Yes, that makes more sense for an all-knowing being.

Would you like to know what getting to know Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour means?

Yes, I'm not sure if I've ever had it clearly explained. If you wouldn't mind, anyway. On a side note, I think it would be respecful to this site to keep this particular answer as concise as possible. I don't mean to attempt to take anything away from the glory of Jesus Christ, I just don't think this is the place for over-emphatic illustrations (if any are even involved).

Perhaps this is included in the same answer, but in addition... why does Jesus want me to get to know Him?
