00:00Hello dear brothers and sisters! Welcome to this continuation of your Bible course.
00:20I am sure that our first journey through the entire Bible, very particularly
00:26From the Old Testament, see how our entire people were formed, starting from the Old Testament.
00:34Testament, culminating in the last book, which is the Apocalypse, and which gives us a
00:39an idea of how God has wanted to present us with a wonderful experience of his love for what
00:46throughout the entire history of humanity, culminating when we are all reunited.
00:51with him in heaven. Let's now move on to this second moment that I would like to share with you
00:57A brief introduction to the New Testament. From this point on, we will conclude a
01:06We will focus our work on the New Testament, since the New Testament
01:14It is what remains for us, on the one hand closer to the Lord's teaching, and on the other hand...
01:21It gives us all the rules and elements necessary for our life to truly be
01:28Christian. In this book, being the word of God, are the principles and beliefs
01:36which are the norm of our faith and which clearly indicate what the path and mission of the
01:44Christian community. It is precisely from this perspective that we must
01:52Read it. It's a book that illuminates the ethical and spiritual path of anyone who declares themselves to be
02:02disciple of the Lord Jesus. It is not simply a book, it is the word of God. That is why we must
02:12to treat it with love and especially when reading it, to realize that what I am reading is the
02:20divine revelation and that it is necessary for my salvation. Sometimes we think, as we are doing right now
02:27He commented that the authors thought they were writing for us, and that as things stand, the
02:36books, that's exactly how they wrote them, period and semicolon, as if someone had written them for them
02:42dictated. And we're seeing that it's not like that. There's been a process behind all of this. It's important to understand this.
02:50Because otherwise we might end up with incorrect ideas. Likewise, I think there's another idea that...
02:59We need to correct this before our study, it's regarding the chapters and the
03:05verses. That is, when we read the New Testament and, in general, all of Sacred Scripture,
03:12We will find that it is divided into chapters, and these into verses. However, these were not put
03:19by the authors. They didn't make any divisions like we do, nor did they add titles.
03:25They didn't even put anything in. In fact, as we'll see later in one of our future classes,
03:31The writing at the beginning, since it was Greek writing, was all joined together. There were some occasions
03:38points, but it was stuck. There were no titles, no chapters, no verses. It's going to be until
03:47In 1226, when Stephen Lacton introduced the chapter system, before that,
03:57Everything was read the same way. And it wasn't until 1551 that Robert Stien established the system
04:08of verse.
