If these things are pointed out to us, and we are convinced of our error, we will be most happy to correct any such thing in future editions. It is, of course, quite possible that we have not always succeeded in this, and the reader may sometimes find mistakes in matters of fact or errors in the interpretation of a verse or a passage. Great care has been taken to try to expound what is in the text of the Bible, and not to present any preconceptions or prejudices we may have. THE NOTES: Our sole purpose in writing and publishing these notes has been to provide the reader with a help in better understanding the Word of God, and so put it into practice more fully. He stated that the Holy Spirit of God would lead His apostles “into all truth” (John 16:13), and His apostles taught that all the Old Testament Scriptures were given “by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16), and that Old Testament prophecy came though holy men of God who “spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:21). He taught that His own teachings had come directly from God the Father in heaven (John 12:49 14:24). He said that what was spoken to the leaders of Israel was “the word of God”, and that “the Scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35). He stated that words written by David were “by the Holy Spirit” of God (Mark 12:36). He said that not the smallest part of a single letter of the law of Moses would pass away until all of it was fulfilled (Matt 5:18). In Matthew 4:4 He taught us that words found in the Old Testament had come “from the mouth of God”. Our highest authority for believing this is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Therefore we have no hesitation in calling the Bible the Word of God. That is, we believe that God Himself inspired the original writers of each of the 66 books so that they wrote down, word for word, in the languages they used (Hebrew, Greek, and a little Aramaic), exactly what God wanted them to write.
