 * __Austin: Aim__ **
 * What is the aim of the Bible? This question is often pondered by both Christians and skeptics alike. One could say that the purpose of the Bible is to “deliver the word of ‘God’”. Another could say that the Bible’s main reason for existence is to help set guidelines for Christians to live by. Still another could claim that the Bible is a tool for the education of those of “inferiority”. In the words of Grace Communion International “We accept the Bible as the inspired Word of God. The writers were inspired, moved by the Holy Spirit ( [|__2 Pet 1:21__] ), and the resultant writings are inspired, as if breathed or spoken by God ( [|__2 Tim 3:16__] ). The Bible is therefore useful as a guide to salvation through faith in Christ, and sufficient for doctrine, correction, moral and ethical instruction ( [|__2 Tim 3:15-17__] )”. This quote expresses the Bible’s use as guidelines and an educational religious tool. All three of these purposes and more are stated explicitly multiple times throughout the Bible itself, talking about what christians should and shouldn’t do; the converting of those of another religion (according to the New Testament); the Bible being God’s will’s vessel. So, in a sense, all listed purposes are true. The Bible exists to educate, guide and deliver the word of the Holy Father. **

 * Andres Audience: **
 * Who is the audience of King James Bible? The audience in King James Bible is the religious christian groups to give them guidelines on how to be a better christian, how to follow their religion, and how they can get to heaven, “ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:13). Christians, Catholics, etc. read the bible making their religion stronger. The bible was written to have the people believe in the words that are written in the book, making more people more faithful to christ, and their religion, and how they can get to heaven. King James bible had such a big impact on the world that there are now, (according to Global Christianity) “2.18 billion Christians of all ages around the world, representing nearly a third of the estimated 2010 global population of 6.9 billion”. This is saying that there are 2.18 billion people that follow King James Bible. This is a strength because more and more christians are joining christianity every year making their religion more worldwide and having more people believe in it.

 * __Jared: Historical__ **
 * Jesus Christ, our savior, was born on December 25, and was known as the Jehovah by the Old Testament. The son of god once said, “I am the light and the life of the world. I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.” He created his image for people to look up to and to worship him. King James wrote the bible translated to english to further give his audience the understanding of the original bible. The bible has influenced many different ways of living and cultural differences between man all throughout history. The historical effect that the bible had on history was that it created different believings and believed what cultures they devoted themselves to, was the superior God. It had created differences and tensions which led to war between perfectly equal societies. The bible has already created history, fights, differences, separation, and wars. For example, the Crusades were just many religious conflicts in the High Middle Ages through the end of the late middle ages conducted under sanction of the Latin Catholic Church. Pope Urban II proclaimed the first crusade in 1095 with the stated goal of restoring christian access to the holy places in and near Jerusalem. **

 * __Ethan: Cultural:__ The bible influences many people. Religious people take the bible very serious and don't joke about it. The bible is one of the oldest books out there. The Bible persuades people in almost everything. There are some people that live their life by the bible. So the bible is influencing the way people live their life. The things that were going on at the time were helping people believe in the Bible such as Jesus performing miracles. “Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.”(Matthew 14:22-23). When this was going on at the time and reading it in the bible people believed it that jesus could perform miracles. The text in bible **
