I went to a fair yesterday and i went to a christian booth who were passing out FREE holy bible (king james version), pocket bible, and the new testament
I am so happy FOR you, as well. Here are some wonderful facts to know about the Bible.
The Matter of Who Wrote God's Word
"Knowing this first, that no prophecyof the scripture is not of any private interpretation." 2 Peter 1:20. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but was given to holy men of God who spake, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." Verse 21.
A good example of this, is when ministers get up to preach to the congregation.They have prayed and studied over God's Word and have been led by the Holy Spirit as to what to preach and teach. It is the divine inspiration from the Holy Spirit given to them, as they study God's Word and are given what to teach their congregation. They are not speaking of their own will, as scripture above confirms, but under the divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit, giving men what to say. This is why people are so moved, when they hear God's Word. They feel the moving of their spirit, wanting to unite with God's spirit, and be one with Him in spirit, and lives are changed for the better. It is the moving of the Holy Spirit that convicts people of their sins and causes them to want to change the direction of their lives, for a new and better life in Christ. Only the Holy Spirit can do this.
The Holy Spirit revealed to the prophets, the messages of Scripture. The writers of the Bible did not write according to their own will or whim, but only as they were moved by the Spirit of God. The Bible is God’s own book, and scripture is "God-breathed". The Greek word for "God-breathed" is theopneustos, which is a combination of the words theos (God) and pneō (breath). 2 Timothy 3:16 and 17.
2 Timothy 3:16-17: - “All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training us in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
The Holy Bible affects human beings so profoundly, because “all” the Bible is “God-breathed.” It’s more than a nice collection of moral principles; it’s more than a great book; it’s an inspired document, God’s book. The message of the prophets who wrote the Bible, came directly from God.

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is needed in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right and not want to sin, which only keeps us spiritually separated from God, until we ask for forgiveness.
The Bible is God's roadmap for life. That is, it brings us life...eternal life. Our spirit is dead, until we repent. Then God's spirit unites with ours, and brings it to life. Jesus said today is the day for salvation. Not to put that decision off, because we never know what the future will bring and we don't want to miss heaven. It's when people do nothing about their soul and preparing for eternity, that sin condemns them and keeps them from heaven. Heaven is the holiest place and no sin dwells there, or it could never be called heaven. God is hoping that we'll all prepare for eternity while we can. He is not willing that any perish and He turns no one away.
Yes! I just read that you were having difficulty with it eating disorder. You are absolutely right. God will help you through it because he helped my daughter get through her anorexia. He will heal your heart and you will see how precious you are to him and you are enough. He doesn't want you to harm your body. It is the temple of the Holy Spirit and he will lead and guide you in all your ways. When you read the bible, it's set you completely free because it tells you the truth. Then your spirit is free and the Holy Spirit will bring you that love peace and joy that we all need and experience in Christ. You are no longer a slave to anything. You do have power and strength from God. Read your Bible whenever you can because it gives such great spiritual strength and Focus On Christ and pray. Prayer works miracles and gives us strength for each day. When you keep your mind on the things of God, the cares of this world grow dim. 🌹🤗
I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
I hope you can read the archaic English in the KJV. It is one of the best translations but English itself has changed a lot in the years since the KJV was translated.
@Husher god is currently leading me through my fight with an eating disorder and my mental health. It is a hard battle right now, but i know he can help me overcome it
