Question
- What is a better description of a Bible?
Solution
The Bible is a sacred scripture in Christianity, composed of two main sections: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament contains religious texts and stories shared with Judaism, including the creation of the world, the history of ancient Israel, the Ten Commandments, and the Psalms, among others. The New Testament contains accounts of the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as writings of his apostles, such as Paul. The Bible serves as a guide for faith and practice for Christians, and has been translated into numerous languages and distributed widely around the world.

What incredible fact about the French atheist Voltaire did the lesson point out?Voltaire was challenged by his mother to simply read the Gospel of John to see for himself whether it was true or not, and through that reading of the Gospel and the conviction of the Holy Spirit, Voltaire not only came to Christ himself, but led his seven brothers and sisters to salvation as well.Voltaire predicted that Christianity would die out within one hundred years. However, only fifty years after his death, the Geneva Bible Society used Voltaire's house and his own printing press to produce Bibles.Voltaire was very vocal about proclaiming his belief that the Bible was a compendium of myths and lies; however, when he accompanied a biblical archaeologist on a dig around the area of Nazareth, they discovered the childhood home of Jesus, including a dreidl with his name carved in it, and Voltaire immediately fell on his knees and repented of his unbelief.When visiting the Sistine Chapel in Rome with his family, Voltaire was moved to tears by Michelangelo's paintings on the ceiling and gave his heart to Christ right there in the cathedral.
