Approximately 1,500 years was how long it took to complete the canon of Scripture we have now as the Bible.
40 authors used by God to write.
66 books make up the Bible.
And here is the amazing thing about all that...
There is not ONE discrepancy at all!!
The Bible constantly supports itself and always checks out!
From prophecies made in the Old Testament to their fulfillment in the New Testament.
AMAZING!
Obviously, there are different details given about the same account, as we see in the 4 Gospels, where the 4 authors give different details of the same event, yet they all support each other and leave no discrepancies.
From a prophet, a priest, a tax collector, a fisherman, a shepherd, and a physician, just to name a few, who God used to write the Bible.
This all points to what Scripture says about itself;
2 Timothy 3:16
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”
2 Peter 1:21
“For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”
Leaving no doubt that we can trust the Word of God at all times for all things!
