Why do we hold to one Bible?

One Bible is sufficient

For certainty.

For consistency.

For proper faith.

For certainty

“That thou mightest know the certainty of

those things, wherein thou hast been

instructed.” (Luke 1:4)

“We have also a more sure word of

prophecy” (2 Peter 1:19a)

For consistency

We should not flit from one ‘bible’ to

another in search of the ‘word’ we want!*

“… no lie is of the truth” (1 John 2:21b)

* Modern versions contradict each other AND they contradict

the Authorized Version (the King James Bible).

of God.” (Matthew 4:4)
