The Bible

The Bible scriptures mostly came about by dreams and visions seen only by one person - the creation of the ancient nation of Israel, The Exodus, the Law of Moses, the anointing of Saul, David, the building of the Temple by Solomon, Solomon given a dream in which he asked for wisdom, the Prophets and parts of Psalms. Jesus is called Christ because Joseph and Mary had dreams and visions and John the Baptist was told "The one on whom you see the Spirit descend is He who will baptise with the Holy Spirit" so he recognised what looked like a dove descending onto Jesus as the Holy Spirit. Peter took the Gospel to Gentiles on the basis of a dream vision only he saw but other disciples believed. Paul (Saul) did the same on the basis of a dream Ananias saw in which God appeared to him and told him to go and appoint Saul a light to the Gentiles. But the dreams and visions were followed up by actions and events ordained by God as seen most of all in the miracles and resurrection of Jesus Christ and then manifestations of the Holy Spirit to us in churches and outside them too prove it all, sealing it and authenticating all those visions so they are more certain. "We have the word of the prophets made more certain and you do well to pay attention to them as to a light in a dark place."
