* The bible is not a charm ,fetish or anything to work wonders by its very presence alone,and it does not claim to be such. It does not claim that if one will study and practice its teachings he will see wonders worked in his life both now and eternally.
* The bible is not a book of chronological events .It was given here a little and there a little, to many men through eighteen centuries; but regardless of this it forms a perfect unity.
* The bible is not a book of heavenly utterances in supernatural language ; it is God's revelation in the most simple language possible.
* The bible is not a book of mysteries ; it explains its so-called mysteries ,and is so self - interpreting that no mystery remains.
* The bible is not a book that says one thing and means another .Generally the passages have one simple meaning.
* The bible is not a specimen of God's skill as a writer or logician.It is a book written by men whom he used to record his revelation.
* The bible is not a book of systematic discourses on any one subject ,but it does give divine information on practically every subject.
* The bible is not a book adapted to the tastes ,customs and habits of any one nation or people ;it is not for any one age or period of time .It is a book to which all people in all ages can conform and yet retain their own lawful customs and habits which are not contrary to the will of God.
