The Bible is a very big book. If you had to explain to someone what
the Bible is about, in 10 words or less, what would you say to them?

You mean, in a way that others would "get it"? It can't happen. lol

God creates everything, and reveals some things. Everybody reacts differently.

A treasure chest of secrets, blessings, curses, revelations and love.

I guess I was wondering if the central message/teaching of the Bible
can be articulated by the discipline of extreme brevity. When you
have so few words, what is important? What is not?

How about:

Why am I here and where did I come from?

or

The Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth.

The Bible is about.....

The creation process in becoming God's own likeness and image.

Or

The process to create a being into God's likeness.

God is 100% Sovereign that get's whatever He Desires.

That's Nine words, not too shabby. Think about the above Marrcus, if He is 100% Sovereign, it would be blasphemous to suggest He won't get whatever He wants, wishes, desires, Wills. Get it, 1Tim. 4:9-11; 1Tim.3:2-6;2Peter.3:9; ie-Desires that all Men be saved, desires that NONE perish, He's a propitiatory sacrifice for the WHOLE WORLD, WILL draw or drag all Men to Himself. Those Nine words in my sentence covers all of that.

Carry On, Samson.

a legal document outlining contracts between God and mankind.

"Religion will never meet up to Love's standard no matter how hard you try!" It's 15 words but it's true!

Religion's standard for following Laws/Rules to make sure you never sin will never work.

God's nature(Love) when by default from within will never sin. It is not in its nature to sin. We are to fulfill the law from within!

rev, if your post was intended to address the word "legal" in my posting, the bible consists of an old and a new covenant, or contract. that says nothing to the nature of the contract or how it is fulfilled.

that's if you were, you know, addressing the word, legal, you know, in my, er'um, post...

DougE6 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 30, 2012, 10:05:02 PM »

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved

Acts 16:31.... OK its 11 words

But aren't the scriptures, at least for those chosen in this life, mainly intended for His bride? To me, that is beautiful, wonderful, and sobering, all at the same time.

DougE6 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 30, 2012, 11:05:14 PM »

Here is a 10 worder that sums it up for me, alomg with the others written...

must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

Old, and New Covenant witnesses, that God gave to man.
