The origin of the bible is God and He is the main author of the bible.
God, in revealing Himelf to His people, inspired priestly leaders and scribes to look deeper into
their experiences and record them, so that others may know there is a God who loves them.
The accounts in the Scriptures came from God to bring a message of love and of hope.
St Paul, in His second letter to Timothy, explains that all scripture inspired by God is useful for
teaching, refutation, correction, and training for righteousness.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus to the Gentiles, wrote to Timothy, one of his converts, who was of
mixed Jewish and Gentile parentage.
Timothy was the leader of the entire Ephesian community.
In writing to Timothy, Paul is r eminding him of the importance of the Bible in preaching the
Good News of Jesus, to correct flase teachings and to train aperson who is a disciple of Jesus.
The Bible was written to pass on a religious message about God who reveals Himself and invites
humankind to a special relationship with Him.
What Makes the inspiration of the Bible unique from other works of inspiration:
1. It is inspired by the Holy Spirit and this same Holy Spirit communicates with us as we read God’s
inspired written words and helps us understand how alive God’s word is to us in our actual time
and situation.
2. It is for public revelation. The Bible contains God’s saving message for all.
Old Testament – composed of 46 books that were inspired by the Holy Spirit, with God as their author.
4 Major Parts of the Old Testament:
1. Pentateuch – consists of the first five books of the Bible, enjoys particular prestige among the
Jews for it is viewed as the concrete expression of God’s will.
2. Historical Books – tell the story of Israel after the days of the Patriarchs, and the exploits of the
Kings
3. Wisdom books – are intended as an aid toward understanding and solving the problems of life
4. Prophetic books – tell of the life and ministry of the prophets whom God had chosen to proclaim
His word to the people.
The Jews have the Old Testament as their Bible. It is divided into three parts: the Torah or Law,
Prophets, and Writings
Canon – mean both the inspired written words and the list of books in the Bible officially recognized and
accepted as inspired by God and necessary fo our faith and salvation.
The whole of the Old Testament is a presentation of the saving acts of God.
All the books of the Old Testament: the stories of the patriarchs, judges, prophets, kings, and
wisdom books are a concentrate manifestation of God’s love and concern for His people.
Through these stories we know that God is our Creator, our Father, provider, and Redeemer. He
is always faithful to His covenant despite the unfaithfulness of the Israelites.
In the Council of Carthage in 397 A.D., the first official decision on the canonical books of the old
Testament and the New Testament was made.
Thus, we have 46 books in Old Testament and 27 books of the New Testament. It was based on
the following points:
a. Apostolic origin
b. Coherence with the essential Gospel message
c. Liturgy
The Canon of the Old Testament is a presentation of the saving acts of God.
Canon of the Bible – means the list of books accepted as sacred written under the inspiration of
the Holy Spirit, have God as their author, and have been handed on as such to the Church
herself.
These books contain truths that are necessary for our faith and salvation and that their content
does not all contradict the whole salvific message of God.
The link of the Old Testament and New Testament is Jesus Christ Himself.
We should believe the message of the Gospel and by believing we shall have eternal life.

The Bible reveals to us that God created us in His image and likeness, that is, with spiritual
powers of intellect, free will and the capacity to love. This distinguishes man from animals.
The whole of creation is a paradise
Adam and Eve – first human beings on Earth
Tree of life – symbolized wisdom
Life with God had to be chosen with personal free choice that God had given mankind
Adam and Eve failed to take to heart God’s command to leave untouched the fruit of the tree of
knowledge of good and evil.
To touch it would be an act of pride, of wanting to be like God. Consequently, they committed
sin, an act contrary to their very nature as creature of God.
However, the story of the Fall of Man did not end in tragedy, but with a promise from God that
He would send a savior to redeem man from the effect of his/her sins.
Adam and Eve made their deliberate choice and action of taking the fruit of the tree of
knowledge of good and evil that brought death to human beings.
God’s offer of life to human beings tells us that there are choices and actions that lead us to a
rich life with God, as well as choices and actions that are forbidden because they lead us to
death.
Original sin – first sin committed on earth
The harmonious, peaceful, orderly, and beautiful life was never the same for man and woman. It
became disharmony, disconnectedness, chaos, and death.
Our Christian faith reminds us that we have the responsibility to respect life.
God creates life, not death.
To worship God and thank Him for His rich blessings is a sign of our deepest reverence and
gratitude.
Cain and Abel offered to God fruits of their labor, fruit of the ground, and the first born of the
flock.
God looked with favor the offering of Abel for he offered the best firstlings of his flock, but not
Cain’s offering
Because of this cain became jealous, envious, resentful, and so crestfallen that he killed his
brother Abel.
“Am I my brother’s keeper?”
God announced to Cain the consequences of his sin, but Cain continued to be proud.
Banishment from soil means banishment from the presence of God, who is the source of life.
Without the protection of God, Cain’s life would be endangered.
However, God, in His great mercy and loving protection, “put a mark on Cain”; a sign of divine
protection.
God formed us in His image and likeness, and shared His very breath with us.
God is love in Him alone can we love.
Remember the questions God addressed to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?’, and “What
have you done?”. God wants us to take responsibility for the life of others and be accountable
for it.
God created us for this purpose: to develop the life He gave us.
“Killing” others may not only mean what Cain did to Abel. If we do not value others, we do not
develop life. It is a failure to appreciate God’s gift of life in others.
If we speak ill of others, treat others badly, and life that is loving and saving, protecting and
enduring.
St. John in his first letter (1 john 15-16) – Jesus is our Lord and Savior
God provides us with mark to signify His presence. Example, Ash Wednesday
Rainbow – reminds us of God’s promise not to destroy the world again with a flood
- It is God’s sign of hope and peace for all of us
- Through the rainbow, God speaks to us of His saving love and plan for all of us.
- Flood the earth, saving only the family of Noah, whom He found righteous and who had found
favor in His sight.
- God poured rain for forty days and forty nights, flooding the earth, wiping out every living thing
on earth
- To seal this covenant of peace, God gave a sign: a rainbow, that would appear to remind human
beings and to recall God’s promise.
- God, who is a God of justice, a just judge when he judges, separates the good one from the bad
ones.
- Wawnting to save us, too, in His Son Jesus, the Promised Messiah, God make us members of His
family, the Church, with Christ as the Head.
- Thus, we see in the Ark of Noah the symbol of the Church, the Holy Spirit in the dove, and the
water of Baptism in the water of the flood.
- The Church teaches and shows us the way to God.
- Noah sent out a dove. In like manner, the Holy Spirit guides and inspires us in searching for God
in our daily lives.
- If Noah was saved trhough the guidance and inspiration of the dove, the same wuld be true with
us.
- We will also be saved through the action of the Holy Spirit.
- God caused the flood and the disasters that went with it at the time of Noah because of men’s
lawlessness.
- The flood shows us that disasters are punishments of sins.
- In our time, it is not God who causes the flood, but men’s wickedness and sinfulness, especially
their greediness.
- The original holiness and justice which God had endowed on human beings was lost by them so
that no matter how God calls back men and women to Him, they cannot do so on their own.
