Summary

We have something better than miraclesanOld Book!

Our Old Book contains prophecies, miracles,

and teachings. Our Old Book is reliablebecause we have1) LOTS of2) Very Old writings that are

3) Highly consistent with each other We have Moses and the Apostles and the

Prophets. Let us hear them!


40/41

If they were to hear them,

what about us?!?We must give the more earnest heed to the

things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2 For if

the word spoken through angels provedsteadfast, and every transgression anddisobedience received a just reward, 3how shall

we escape if we neglect so great a salvation,which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord,

and was confirmed to us by those who heardHim, 4 God also bearing witness both with signsand wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of

the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?Hebrews 2:1-4
