INSPIRATION: HOW THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES WERE COMPILED

WHEN WERE THE OLD TESTAMENT BOOKS WRITTEN? WHO WROTE THESE BOOKS? GOD!

THE BASF “FOUNDATION” THE FOUNDATION -- That the book currently known as the Bible, consisting of the Scriptures of Moses, the prophets, and the apostles, is the only source of knowledge concerning God and His purposes at present extant or available in the earth, and that the same were wholly given by inspiration of God in the writers, and are consequently without error in all parts of them, except such as may be due to errors of transcription or translation.
