Christianity follows the teachings of the sixty-six books comprising the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible, said to be "inspired", which means God-breathed. The creators of the bible would have people believe that God breathed out through His Spirit upon the authors of Holy Scripture what He wanted said; that They did not invent the writings themselves, but wrote what He wanted said. (2 Tim.3:16,17; 2 Pet. 1: 19-21). The Old Testament has the books of God's revelations to the Jews, pointing to the ultimate revelation of God's Son come to earth in Jesus the Messiah. Many of the Jews became believers in Jesus when they saw Him risen from the dead, or saw from Scripture how He had fulfilled the prophecies of the Old Testament which only the Messiah could do. The New Testament books help give understanding of the meaning of the Old Testament books. | Christianity follows the teachings of the sixty-six books comprising the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible, said to be "inspired", which means God-breathed.
