Books, Bibles, Scriptures, and Writings The Hebrew word סֵפֶר sepher (H5612) means “to record” and was concretely represented as a scroll. At its core, סֵפֶר sepher was a document or record written on a sheet of skin or papyrus and rolled up (i.e. a scroll) and later became known as a “book” (cf. Genesis 5:1; Exodus 17:14; Exodus 24:7; Exodus 32:32-33; Numbers 5:23; Numbers 21:14; Deuteronomy 17:18; Deuteronomy 24:1 – bill = סֵפֶר sepher; Joshua 10:13; 1 Samuel 1:18; 2 Samuel 11:14-15 – letter = סֵפֶר sepher; 1 Kings 11:41; 1 Kings 14:19; Daniel 9:2). סֵפֶר sepher is equivalent to the Greek word βιβλίον biblion (G975) which means “book” and further defined as a small book, scroll, or written document or a sheet on which something has been written (cf. Matthew 19:7 writing or bill = βιβλίον biblion; Luke 4:17; John 20:30; John 21:25; 2 Timothy 4:13; Hebrews 9:19; Hebrews 10:7; Revelation 22:7; Revelation 22:18; Revelation 22:19) Interestingly, the word “Scripture”

1,050 Commands Found in the Apostolic Scriptures (with Some Modification) According to Rev. Finis Jennings Dake (1902-1987), there are 1,050 commands in the “New Testament” for Believers to obey: Dake said, “Due to repetitions we can classify them under about 800 headings. They cover every phase of man’s life in his relationship to God and his fellow men, now and hereafter. If obeyed, they will bring rich rewards here and forever; if disobeyed, they will bring condemnation and eternal punishment.” This list is based on one originally compiled by Rev. Finis Jennings Dake: Seven “Abstains”—Abstain From: Idols (Acts 15:20). Fornication (Acts 15:20,29; 1 Thess. 4:2-3) Strangled meats (Acts 15:20) Eating blood (Acts 15:20) Meats offered to idols (Acts 15:29) All appearance of evil (1 Thess. 5:22) Fleshly lusts (1 Peter 2:11) Seven things to avoid: Troublemakers (Romans 16:17) Profane and vain babblings (1 Timothy 6:20) False science (1 Timothy 6:20) Unlearned questions (2 Timothy 2:23) Foolish questions (Titus 3:9) Genealogies

The Nicene Creed Nicene Creed, also called Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed, a Christian statement of faith that is the only ecumenical creed because it is accepted as authoritative by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and major Protestant churches: I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated
