John 8:26= I have many things to speak concerning you and to pass judgment on. As a matter of fact, the one who sent me is true, and the very things I heard from him, I am speaking in the world. Jesus heard many things from God because he had lived with God. And where can we read those things that Jesus said? In the Bible. It was all written down for us to read. Of course when God used men to write, they wrote in the language that they used everyday. So most of the Bible was written in Hebrew, some in Aramaic and a lot of it in Greek. Since most people today do not know how to read those languages, the Bible has been put into other languages. Today parts of the Bible can be read in over Bible is God's letter to people everywhere. But no matter how many times it has been copied, the message is from God. Information taken from "Learn from the Great Teacher" jw.org CHECK IT OUT......

A LETTER FROM GOD..... God had help in writing this letter. It took a period of 1600 years. Some of these writers never met one another but the total letter is in agreement. These were everyday people. One was a shepherd (Moses). One was a king (Solomon). Amos took care of tress and grew figs. One was a medical doctor (Luke). One was a tax collector (Matthew). One was an expert in Jewish law. He was a lawyer (Paul). Peter and John were fisherman. Many of these men wrote things about God that was going to happen in the future, How did they know those things before they even happened? God had given those men the information. He had told them what would happen. By the time Jesus, the Great Teacher, was on earth, a big part of the bible had been written. Now, remember, the Great Teacher had been in heaven. He knew what God had done. Did he believe that the bible was from God????? Yes he did.

MEN CAN GO ALL THE WAY TO THE MOON IN THEIR SPACESHIPS!!!!!!!!! If men can do that, can God send messages from heaven? Of course he can! And he did it long before men had radio or television. Moses was a man who actually heard God speak. Moses could not see God, but he could hear God's voice. Millions of were there when this happened. In fact, on that day God caused a whole mountain to shake, and there was thunder and lightning. the people knew that God had spoken, but they were very scared. So they told Moses: "Let not God speak with us for fear we may die." Later, Moses wrote down the things that God had said. And what Moses wrote is in the Bible. Moses wrote the first five books of the bible. But he was not the only one who wrote. God used about 40 men to write parts of the Bible. passage from "Learn from the Great Teacher" jw.org CHECK IT OUT............
