On this page we provide extracts from the Bible which we hope to update
regularly along with links to the Bible available online. We firmly believe
that the Bible is the Holy, inerrant Word of God, written down by men who were
chosen by God to write as the Holy Spirit led them (2 Peter 1:21). The Bible
teaches the truths of the Gospel and points the reader to the Lord Jesus Christ
and the salvation from sin that is in Him and Him alone. Read what William
Huntington has to say about The Excellencies of the
Bible.
"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us:
for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ;
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."
Galatians 3:13-14

The Authority of Scripture
A number of articles describing the Divine inspiration, inerrancy and
preservation of the written Word of God contained in the 39 books of the Old
Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament scriptures can be read on the
Trinitarian Bible Society website. See also
"The word of the Lord endureth for ever".
We highly recommend reading these articles which rightly defend the authority
of the scriptures and the importance of defending the faithful translation of
the Word of God - as we live in a day when the authority and inerrancy of
the scriptures are under constant attack by those who would profess themselves
to be wise, and yet have become fools (Romans 1:22). We are told that in the
latter days there shall arise many who mock and scorn those things spoken by
Christ, the apostles and the prophets (2 Peter 3:1-4) and we know that
Satan has from the very beginning cried "Yea, hath God said...?" (Genesis 3:1)
and continues to sow the same seed of doubt today. The proliferation in recent
years of an increasing number of English translations of the Bible based upon
inferior Greek manuscripts to those upon which the Authorised Version is based
have only served to increase the confusion of many. But thanks be unto God that
He HAS preserved His Word throughout the generations and continues to send
forth preachers to declare its message of Christ and Him Crucified, that
message which Christ Himself declared to be taught throughout scripture: "O
fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Ought
not Christ to have suffered these things, and to have entered into his glory?
And beginning at Moses, and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the
scriptures the things concerning himself" Luke 24:25-27.
"And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to
make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God
may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:15-17.
"The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it"
Psalm 68:11.

file which can be downloaded from
Grace Gospel Software. If you wish to hear the Bible in audio you may
listen to Alexander Scourby's

The "Bible Gateway" below allows you to search for words and phrases in the
Bible using various "versions" and languages. You can also read specified
chapters or passages, for example enter John 15 into the Passage box and click
on 'Lookup' to read that chapter. (Note: Out of the English Bible "versions"
provided we can only really recommend the KJV (Authorised Version) as it is a
translation based upon the sound Textus Receptus Greek text which the Lord has
blessed over many years. Most other English translations are based on a
different Greek text which cannot be relied upon.)
"For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus
Christ." John 1:17
