"The Bible Is The Most Important Book in history, and is what defines our
faith. Without It we would not know Who God is, His will for us, salvation,
or The Lord Jesus Christ.

The way to destroy Christianity would be to destroy the Bible. This present
evil world knows this and has been attacking the Bible for centuries.
No Bible = no Christianity.

As a result of relentless attacks without reply, generations have a view of
the Bible that it is an anachronistic book written by men that no one can
understand, filled with mistakes, and is unneeded for true spirituality.
What lies!

If Christianity is on the wane it is due to a failure to fortify these important
doctrines about the Bible. If removing the Bible makes Christianity crumble,
returning respect to the Holy Book of books will strengthen it.

Here are seven important doctrines about the Bible that will strengthen
your faith in God’s Word and make you a Bible believer.

1. Revelation – God Spoke Words.

Revelation is the doctrine that God has spoken. The Bible is God’s
Revelation. This is important because God is True, Holy, Good, and
Without error. Therefore, What He says is True, Holy, Good, and Without
error. This is where we get the “Holy” in Holy Bible. The Bible is Sacred
because of Its Author. The Bible Was Revealed By God.
“For I neither received It of man, neither was I taught It,​
but By the Revelation of Jesus Christ.” – Galatians 1:12
2. Inspiration – God’s Words in writing.

Who doesn’t know the Bible was written by men. The doctrine of inspiration
describes how God’s words were put in writing using the instrumentation of
humanity.

The Bible was not delivered from heaven like the golden plates of Mormonism,
or by oral tradition like the Talmud or Koran. Divine Inspiration Teaches That
God Wrote the Bible With human pens to write Specific Words
(2 Peter 1:20-21).
“All Scripture is given by Inspiration of God…” – 2 Timothy 3:16

3. Illumination – God’s Words understood.

The Bible can be understood, because of the doctrine of illumination. God
did not write a Book so that no one could read and understand It. His purpose
was for all to know and each to study for themselves (1 Tim 2:4; 2 Tim 2:15).

The Bible is not a Book God kept in secret, but helps us to understand. How
can we understand? First, faith is required (Rom 10:17). Then, you must be
spiritually quickened (1 Cor 2:12-13). Thirdly, you must acknowledge Paul’s
instruction (2 Tim 2:7).
“But the natural man receiveth not the Things of the Spirit of God:​
for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know Them,​
because They are spiritually discerned.” – 1 Corinthians 2:14
“Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all​
Things." – 2 Timothy 2:7
4. Utilization – God’s Words must be used.

It is necessary to have and understand the Bible, because God requires It
be utilized. We are told to preach It, teach It, study It, Rightly Divide It, eat
It, believe It, live by It, stand with It, fight with It, and obey It. This doctrine
alone should cause us to cherish God’s Holy Book: we need It! Faith comes
by no other way.
“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for​
our learning,…” – Romans 15:4
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”​

5. Canonization – God’s Words Complete & Sufficient.

This oft neglected doctrine describes how the Bible came to be complete
and defined. A corollary to this is the idea that the Bible is All that we need:
It is sufficient. There is nothing lacking from It to make us perfect (complete)
workmen for the Lord.

There is nothing else we need from oral tradition, experience, gut feelings,
a Pope, magisterium, deacon board, anointed pastor, or the wisdom of the
world. God said many things that are not in the Bible, but the Bible is What
God wants us to know, and It is Finished, Complete, and Sufficient in sixty-six
books.
“All Scripture is given by Inspiration of God and is profitable…​
that the man of God may be perfect,…” – 2 Timothy 3:16-17
“Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God​
which is given to me for you, to fulfil the Word of God;” – Colossians 1:25
6. Preservation – God’s Words through history.

Without Preservation none of the other doctrines matter. God could have
Revealed, Inspired, and Completed A Bible to be used and understood, but
without the doctrine of Preservation it is all for naught, and the Holy Bible
was lost thousands of years ago to history.

If God wants us to understand and use His Words that He inspired, then They
must be Preserved through history. There are no more original autographs.
Preservation is needed for God’s Words to Endure Forever (1 Pet 1:25).
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.”​
“Thou shalt keep Them, O LORD, Thou Shalt Preserve Them from this​
generation For Ever.” – Psalm 12:7

7. Identification – God’s Words in your hands and heart.

In a world, culture, or church that does not understand and believe the
previous six important doctrines this Final doctrine is the most offensive.
It is also the Most Important for the Word of God to have An Effect in your life.

This doctrine describes how you know you hold God’s Words in your hand
and are reading Them with your eyes. If God Inspired and Preserved His
Word we should be able to identify It today.

There are so many different books claiming to be the Bible. It was the need
to clearly identify the Holy Bible which drove men to reduce the differences
and number of Bible translations down to one. After all, God only Inspired
one, and we only need one, and the church is one, and so which one is it?

When it is said that God’s Perfectly Preserved Words in English are found in
the King James Bible this is a statement reflecting the doctrine of identification.
“…when ye received the Word of God Which ye heard of us, ye received​
it not as the word of men, but as It is in Truth, the Word of God, Which​
Effectually Worketh also in you that believe.” – 1 Thessalonians 2:13
The Effect On Those That Believe

The Thessalonians had to identify by faith the Words of God before they had an
effect. Perhaps the reason Christians are not being Effected by the Word of God
is that they are not clearly Identified amidst hundreds of different translations.

Perhaps you cannot yet identify Which Bible is God’s Words. Perhaps you have
been persuaded that they are all the same, or that God does not Preserve
His Words, or that the Bible is too hard to understand or is not completely
sufficient or necessary for us to have.

Denying any one of these important doctrines about the Bible brings
confusion and doubt upon the Bible. Without the Bible, Christianity
becomes ineffective, or worse.
“For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the Faith​
of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God Be True, but every man​
a liar.” – Romans 3:3-4
Christians are people of A Book. Strengthen your understanding of these
important doctrines about the Bible and your faith will grow, and God’s
Words Will Work Effectually In you." (J Johnson)

Amen.

Biblical doctrine is the body of teaching drawn from the Scriptures that define and describe the essential theological truths of God’s revelation123. Biblical doctrine is based on the literal interpretation of the Scriptures, and it covers the topics of God, the universe, angels, man, sin, salvation, Israel, the Church, and the spiritual life3. Biblical doctrine sees the central themes of God’s revelation as having culminated in Christ’s incarnation, words, and work2.

(excerpt)

Doctrine
(Gk. didaskalia [didaskaliva]). Act of teaching or that which is taught. The use of the term in Scripture, however, is broader than a simple reference to information passed on from one person to another or from one generation to the next. Christianity is a religion founded on a message of good news rooted in the significance of the life of Jesus Christ. In Scripture, then, doctrine refers to the entire body of essential theological truths that define and describe that message ( 1 Tim 1:10 ; 4:16 ; 6:3 ; Titus 1:9 ). The message includes historical facts, such as those regarding the events of the life of Jesus Christ ( 1 Cor 11:23 ). But it is deeper than biographical facts alone. As J. Gresham Machen pointed out years ago, Jesus' death is an integral historical fact but it is not doctrine. Jesus' death for sins ( 1 Cor 15:3 ) is doctrine. Doctrine, then, is scriptural teaching on theological truths.

1. Revelation – God Spoke Words.
Revelation is the doctrine that God has spoken.
So have you heard God speak? It is a simple yes or no question, and I am not implying that there is no God or that God could not speak but simply asking if you have heard the voice of God.

Most Christians believe language acquisition is a natural process that man has due to his creation, or rather because of his physiological form, i.e. his vocal folds, which allows him to speak naturally. And if man can simply acquire the ability to speak at any time then it wouldn't be necessary for God to speak. Yet if man can't acquire the ability to speak on his own at any time then it is easy to understand why faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Divine Inspiration Teaches That
God Wrote the Bible With human pens to write Specific Words
Again, if man learned how to communicate using the spoken word naturally then it would reasonable to expect that man developed the ability to write the written spoken word naturally as well.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. Ex 34:1

So unless one is taught how to read, then how do they learn to write if they don't see the word written, and if they don't see the written word then how do they learn how to read.

The truth (God) is in the Bible, and God the creator is the whole truth, nothing but the truth. Yet we the interpreters, interpret our own truths of what we read. I know I did that for a long time, growing up here on earth in this world of evil selfishness of people (Includes me). I want, I need and so I go to go get and find out how to get it. So I read and listen and learn from what I see and still having the need to get what I want here and now, I go after physical, Just as those crowds went after Jesus, when he was alive here on earth, physically. He even said this to the people at one part. Said to them , you are only here to get healed physically and to eat, since I fed so many. I, Jesus the Son am here to give you life and give it to you more abundantly. Called new life, the born again life, that my Father gives to all that are sincere and are willing to give up this life here on earth will find, see and hear.
Unless one is willing to be dead to the physical, one will not see new life unless willingly be dead. A conundrum to be seen truth given us from God personally, then the Bible makes sense, when God the Author is real. just as real as the air I breath to live physically. God is the water, that one will not ever thirst agin, once one is born new by God in risen Son for them

No Bible = no Christianity.
Would not God still be alive and find a way to communicate with us? And does God not do that in us through us believing God? Regardless what people do against God, especially those acting as if for God,
I see what you said about the Bible, if we do not have it.
Doesn't God still speak?
Asking your thought please, anyone's?

Would not God still be alive and find a way to communicate with us?
Yes, in fact God Has Already Communicated with man, even before
"His Written Word" and, also in the present day, He leaves those
who may 'never hear' His Word, "without excuse":

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness​
and unrighteousness of men, who hold The Truth in unrighteousness;​
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;​
for God Hath Shewed it unto them.​
For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are​
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even​
His Eternal Power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse"​
(Romans 1:18-20 AV)​
Thus no one can "blame God" for not showing them, about Himself,
what "can be Clearly seen and understood", Correct?

Grace and Peace, precious friend.

Amen.

Amen.
You were mostly on track until the very end. The main issues I see in this are 1) confusing "the Word of God" with "the Bible", and 2) thinking that the KJV is the only valid version of the Bible. On the second point, have you never really understood that the writers of the NT did not write in 1611 English, but in Koine Greek? And have you never considered that we have a much more complete record of what the NT writers wrote today verses 1611? And have you never wondered what use an English version of the Bible has for the majority of the world that does not understand English?

Yes, in fact God Has Already Communicated with man, even before
"His Written Word" and, also in the present day, He leaves those
who may 'never hear' His Word, "without excuse":

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness​
and unrighteousness of men, who hold The Truth in unrighteousness;​
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;​
for God Hath Shewed it unto them.​
For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are​
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even​
His Eternal Power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse"​
(Romans 1:18-20 AV)​
Thus no one can "blame God" for not showing them, about Himself,
what "can be Clearly seen and understood", Correct?

Grace and Peace, precious friend.

Amen.

Authorized (King James) Version

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

I see this: I am approaching this throne of grace in my time of need (Which is 24/7 to me) On my way spiritually, I see Spirits, trying to stop me and distract me from entering in.
Then I see Jesus, with his hand palm up, and says, enter you are safe here. So in thanksgiving and praise I enter and say, thank you to God Father of risen Son Jesus for me. Then I say I need, and God says in my Son you are given everything you need, who is risen for you to be.
I say what about? This what about ?, could be anything, anyone has any concern about by thought(s) of whatever that it might be, being brought up to work here on this earth, to get and keep or else attitudes of the flesh nature we are first born in.
then I got to see, just love all in my mercy and truth and rest in that
