The Bible’s purpose is twofold. The first is to show us all have broken God’s Law.

God’s Law reveals how all people have sinned against God and are deserving of the fullness of His judgment.

Where in the Bible does it say I have become all things to all people?

And I grew up with these striking and challenging words of Saint Paul, in First Corinthians, chapter 9. He says, quite precisely, “I have become all things to all people, that I might by all means save some.” If Saint Paul could say that he had become all things to all people, shouldn’t we try to say that, too?

Would you sell your Bible for profit?

We would sell not for the sake of building big profit for shareholders, but for the sake of investing in ministry for more and more Bible distribution. That’s why I like certain Bible publishers that are essentially non-profit ministries. Yes, they charge for their Bibles, but they’re not eager to get rich employees.

Should the Bible be paid for?

However, if we really believe that the Bible (as a paper-and-ink book) is good to have, it has to be paid for. The issue really comes down to the question of profit. I would be very hesitant to try to turn the Bible into profiteering.

Yet, I do not believe the Holy Bible is the infallible word of God.

The early Christian world was diverse and everyone had a different take on the Gospel of Jesus.

While the Bible is a very ethical book, it never divorces its code of morality from a personal relationship with the God of the Bible, teaching that God’s laws are not meant to hinder joy and pleasure, but to enhance man’s capacity to know and love God and people.
