The Beginner’s Introduction to the Bible (Part 1)

First of all I am going to assume that you know absolutely nothing about spiritual or Biblical things. The reason I’m making this assumption is that I have talked to a number of people who have told me that they know very little or nothing about this subject.
I have been a believer for over 50 years and have studied extensively through the Scriptures, even though I have no degree from any seminary, and ascribe to no denomination. I have read through the Bible numerous times and probably listened to close to 10,000 sermons from several different denominations and belief systems. Many of these sermons I have questioned while listening to them, as there were many things that did not make sense. So I started researching to find the answer to my questions. Over the years I have changed my mind about several things that I was taught in my earlier years, since my research has proven that many of the things I was taught were incorrect.
Now I am sure that much of what I will tell you in this study will raise questions in your mind, especially since you may have some previous knowledge from a “religious” background of some type, and our school system has deviated over the years from the creation model of life to the evolution model. I can tell you without equivocation or apology that the evolution model is wrong even though many so-called “scientists” will disagree with me. You are of course free to make up your own mind about any subject, but if you will just consider and think it through, I believe you will agree with me on this point.
I personally know two scientists who were staunch evolutionists, and they set out to prove once and for all that this creation thing was a farce. After years of investigating and researching, they are both now staunch creationists and can prove through hours of material how crazy the evolution model really is.
I would ask you to research everythingthat I say in this study to validate or reject it so you feel certain, after reading and studying it thoroughly, that you have a solid foundation on which to stand.
I will say up front that this could be one of the most important studies you have ever read, not THE most important, but one of the most important, because hopefully when you are
through, I will have pointed you to the most important book – The Bible!
I would like to state some interesting facts. Facts that many, if not most, Christians, DO NOT even know because of the way in which they have been taught. If they do know them, they are not in the forefront of their thoughts when it comes to actually studying the Bible.
