There are preachers, lay people, and other believers who won’t look at another book besides the Bible.

Never mind the copyists’ errors or scriptural archaeological discoveries connecting the past to the present, or the devil’s handprints in the Bible (66 books of the Bible).

No. “The Bible is the only book I read!” They’ll say.

These people are missing out on a lot of good Bible reference literature – that brings the Bible alive and up to date.

The Anchor Bible commentary series is a good example, with comments about customs of the time from scholars.

I also found a book on Customs and Culture in Bible times a couple of months ago at the library that was excellent.

Biblical Archaeological Magazine is a great magazine to find out the latest archaeological discoveries and connections to the Bible.

Granted, one must be careful to not or add or take way any of the words of the Bible; but allowed by Timothy that every word is subject to reproof and edification.

I remember the Presbyterian belief that the Bible is the inerrant word of God.

However, that just can’t be true, when Satan himself has dialogue in the Book of Job, and there are some omissions of words and jots and tittles.

Thankfully, there are believers in the world that still look for truths in the scripture, and anything that might add to it, ompletes the faith of the believer to glorify God and Jesus.

I'm retired from 20 years of federal service and 25 years of maintenance work. I've written three devotional books and continue to write devotions for the local newspaper, I play golf, run a cribbage club, and go crabbing a lot. I'm also a victim of persecution: MK-ultra, Government abuse, and stalking, having witnessed corruption within the Virginia court system when my wife's divorce attorney, Howard Copeland, threatened Judge Whitehurst with a non-reappointment to the bench if he didn't get an order signed evicting me from my house (that had no merit). This lie destroyed any hope for my family reconciliation, and then he avoided court using legislative appearances, which made things worse with delays. I finally won the divorce after the lawyers used 5 judges and 1 commissioner; and then I personally appealed the retirement award to my wife. That got 2 appellate judges to suddenly resign for personal reasons and I never got my decree straight -- until 30 years later when I finally got my retirement the way it was supposed. Multiple attempts were made on my life, with a Virginia State police helicopter hovering over me to the state line when I left in 1989. Incredible what those in higher positions will do to protect their deceit! They should be made to pay back the State and Federal Government for their false accusations. Take it out of their estates!
