The Bible is From God, not man

Something that has helped me over the recent years to understand the things that I had, (have) trouble with in the Bible is this. The Bible is from God to us, not from some counsel in the past, not from prophets or disciples. The Bible is God breathed, there are no contradictions, from Gen. to Rev. If I feel I have found a contradiction, then my understanding of Gods word is wrong. The Bible completely harmonizes with it's self. Yes it is difficult to understand sometimes, but if the Bible was an easy read we would read it once, and then put it down just like every other book we read. The Bible is living and alive, and it is Gods word, moving and working in our lives.
