What is the Bible? (Part One)

Summary
The Bible is more than just a book; it is a collection of 66 different books written over hundreds of years by various authors, all telling God's story. It is divided into the Old Testament, which covers everything before Jesus, and the New Testament, which focuses on Jesus and the early Christian church. The Bible is a guidebook that teaches us how to live and reveals who God is. It is breathed by God and useful for teaching, correcting, training, and making us righteous. When reading the Bible, it's important to understand the context and purpose of each passage.
As for Nicol's question about celebrating Halloween, it depends on personal convictions, parental guidance, and the advice of one's pastor.
