Family Talk is a website dedicated to provide the study of The Bible.
The word bible comes from the Greek word biblia
meaning “books”. The Bible is a collection of books rather than a single
literary composition. They are considered “canonical” because they are
on the list or canon of books which the Church officially regards
as inspired. The canon was definitively and solemnly determined by the
Council of Trent in 1546.
The bible is divided into the Old Testament (Hebrew Scriptures) and the New Testament. The two testaments have a common focus: the Kingdom of God, i.e. the rule of God that is already present in the world and is destined to be realized in all of its perfection at the end of human history.
There are more than 80,000 versions of
the Bible. New versions of the Bible continue to be added or
updated. Popular English versions include American Standard, Jerusalem
and King James versions. It contains God's message of eternal
salvation to all who believe in Christ and of eternal damnation to those
who rebel against the gospel. As a literary composition, the Bible is
the most remarkable book ever made. It is a divine library of sixty-six
books, some of considerable size, and others no larger than a tract.
Read it through and through until it becomes part of your being and
generates faith that will move mountains. It is a mine of wealth, the
source of health, and a world of pleasure. It is given to you in this
life, will be opened at the judgment, and will last forever. It involves
the highest responsibility, will reward the least to the greatest labor,
and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.

Prayer in Christianity
Prayer in the New Testament is presented as a positive command (Colossians 4:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:17). The people of God are challenged to include prayer in their everyday life, even in the busy struggles of marriage (1 Corinthians 7:5) as it is thought to bring the faithful closer to God.
Throughout the New Testament, prayer is shown to be God's appointed method by which the faithful obtain what he has to bestow (Matthew 7:7-11; Matthew 9:24-29; Luke 11:13).
Prayer, according to the Book of Acts, can be seen at the first moments of the church (Acts 3:1). The apostles regarded prayer as the most important part of their life (Acts 6:4; Romans 1:9; Colossians 1:9). As such, the apostles frequently incorporated verses from Psalms into their writings. Romans 3:10-18 for example is borrowed from Psalm 14:1-3 and other psalms.
Thus, due to this emphasis on prayer in the early church, lengthy passages of the New Testament are prayers or canticles (see also the Book of Odes), such as the Prayer for forgiveness (Mark 11:25-26), the Lord's Prayer, the Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55), the Benedictus (Luke 1:68-79), Jesus' prayer to the one true God (John 17), exclamations such as, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 1:3-14), the Believers' Prayer (Acts 4:23-31), "may this cup be taken from me" (Matthew 26:36-44), "Pray that you will not fall into temptation" (Luke 22:39-46), Saint Stephen's Prayer (Acts 7:59-60), Simon Magus' Prayer (Acts 8:24), "pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men" (2 Thessalonians 3:1-2), and Maranatha (1 Corinthians 16:22).

SCRIPTURES
The Bible as used by the majority of Christians includes the Rabbinic Hebrew Scripture and the New Testament, which relates the life and teachings of Jesus, the letters of the Apostle Paul and other disciples to the early church and the Book of Revelation. The New Testament is a collection of 27 books, of 4 different genres of Christian literature (Gospels, one account of the Acts of the Apostles, Epistles and an Apocalypse). Jesus is its central figure. The New Testament was written primarily in Koine Greek in the early Christian period, though a minority argue for Aramaic primacy.
