The Bible we use is the Bible we inherited from our parents, our parent's parents, and our parent's parent's parents. The Bible we use is NOT the collection of writings Jesus knew as sacred scripture or even the collection that all Christians everywhere agree are the one and only sacred scripture. So, then, what is the Bible?  United Methodists believe the Bible contains and/or reveals all things necessary for our salvation.  May the Bible offer you with what you need for salvation!
