The Bible is a religious book given to man
by God Himself.  Therefore, the reader
should prepare his soul for reading and
understanding its meaning by prayer and a
holy life.
The Bible, because God is its author, is
absolutely free from all error.  Therefore,
No interpretation can be admitted that
supposes an error in the Bible.  No
interpretation can be admitted that
supposes a contradiction between one
inspired writer and another, or between
two inspired passages of the same writer.  
No interpretation can be admitted which
contradicts a truth clearly and certainly
demonstrated by Science.
In what language was the bible written?  
The books of the Bible were written
originally either in Hebrew, Aramaic or
Greek.  Hebrew is the original language of
all the books of the Old Testament except
Wisdom and 2 Machabees, which were
written in Greek, and parts of I Esdras,
Daniel and Jeremias, which were written
in Aramaic.  Greek is the original language
of all the books of the New Testament
except Matthew, which was originally
written in Aramaic.  Hebrew is a Semitic
dialect spoken by Abraham and his
descendants ate their migration into the
land of Chanaan, and often called by
Jewish rabbis a holy or a sacred language,
replaced Hebrew after the Jews returned
from their Babylonian captivity.  It is the
language spoken by Christ and His
Apostles.  The Greek of the Bible is not the
classical Greek of Plato, but a common
Greek that had become a universal
language after the conquests of Alexander
the Great.
