Wat da Bible Tell—Good Foeva
TRY PICHA DIS: You stay inside one museum an get plenny stuff inside dea. An all dose tings stay all buss, dey all ol, get stuff missin from um. But get one of dose tings, da ting iz all cherreh, erytin look good about um. You aks da guy showin you aroun, “eh dat one moa new den da odda ones o wat?”. He tell you, “no, brah, dat one iz moa ol den all da rest. An we neva do nottin to um”. You wen aks da guy, “wat, you guys wen cova um up real good o wat?”. He say, “no, in fact dis one, ho da rain, da wind, erytin wuz takin it’s toll on um. An had plenny guys tryin fo mess wit um”. Den you tink to yoaself, ‘Ho! I wonda wat dis ting iz made out of?’
Same same like da ting in da museum, da Bible iz one of da mos oldes books out dea—olda den mos odda books. Yeah, get plenny odda olda books out dea but az time go on, da ting no good awready. Jalike wat dey say about science, all dat all outdated awready. Da tings dey say about medical kine stuff, now we know, all dat stuff iz bad fo you. An plenny of da ol writings, no moa da whole ting. Plenny stuff stay missin from um.
Da Bible iz diffren tho. Even tho dey wen start writing da ting 3,500 years ago, da whole ting stay dea. An even tho guys wen try mess wit um thru all dose years—dey wen try burn um, dey wen try say you no can have um, say da ting is no good—erytin inside dea still good. Thru all of dis, da Bible neva come outdated. An even wen we learn new kine stuff, we see da Bible wuz ahead of it’s time.—See the box “Outdated or Ahead of Its Time?”

You might tink, ‘Da Bible can help us today o wat?’ Fo ansa dat, try aks yoaself: ‘Wat iz da mayjah kine pilikia peopo get today?
