authority. Never imply that the scripture in the King James Bible is the
words of the King James translators, because it's not. (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

Don't try to explain scripture using Hebrew or Greek words or lexicons.

This is unnecessary, often inaccurate and misleading, and often will
DESTROY a convert's confidence in the English text. Your convert will
doubt every verse that he doesn't understand right away, and he will assume
that there's an inadequacy in the English text and that he must consult
Hebrew/Greek study tools rather than compare scripture with scripture.
(Genesis 40:8, Psalms 94:12, 1 Corinthians 2:13)

Here are a few verses that emphasize the supernatural nature of the Bible:

John 6:63 "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."
(The words don't die when they're put on paper!)

Hebrews 4:12a "For the word of God is quick, and powerful..."

2 Timothy 4:1, 1 Peter 4:5, John 5:21, Romans 4:17, 8:11, Ephesians 2:1,
Colossians 2:13, 1 Peter 3:18)

1 Peter 1:23b "...the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."
That's not an analogy. It means what it says. The word of God is literally a
LIVING ENTITY. (Galatians 3:8,22)

Ephesians 6:17 "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the

Spirit, which is the word of God..."

2 Timothy 2:9 "Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto
bonds; but the word of God is not bound."

2 Timothy 3:16a "All scripture is given by inspiration of God..."

The King James Bible is "scripture" and therefore, by definition, is "given
by inspiration of God." Notice 2 Timothy 3:16 does NOT say "WAS given
