About us
Who we are
- We are a number of Christians from all over the world.
- We love the Word of God.
- Many people rightly take offense at Christians, churches or religion in general, rejecting them all. Indeed, the ground staff of God has failed miserably.
- But God never fails – God is love! By means of "The Word" we invite you to meet with the Creator on a personal basis.
The Idea of the "Bible 2.0" Project
- An important principle of Bible study is: “Scripture explains itself”.
- This happens, for example, when you find a related verse and jot it down in the side margin of your Bible.
- On our site bible2.net we collect such pairs of complementing Bible verses (cross-references) and use them for "The Word".
- The term "2.0" means "working together via Internet": Christians share their knowledge of the Bible, and this will eventually benefit readers of other languages.
