THE BOOK OF GOD 

KO E TOHI ‘A E ‘OTUA

HOSEA 8:12 (HOSEA 8:12) 

I wrote for them the many things of my law.

Kuo u tohi ma‘ana ‘a e mano‘i me‘a ‘o ‘eku lao

Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone - Ko e Folofola´ pe   

This Bible is God's Bible; and when I see it, I seem to hear a voice springing up from it, saying, "I am the Book of God: man, read me. I am God's writing: open my leaf, for I was penned by God; read it, for He is my Author, and you will see Him visible and manifest everywhere."

"I have written to him the great things of my law." How do you know that God wrote the book? That is just what I shall not try to prove to you. I could, if I pleased, do a demonstration, for there are arguments enough, there are reasons enough, did I care to occupy your time in bringing them before you: but I shall do no such thing. I might tell you, if I pleased, that

the grandeur of the style is above that of any mortal writing, and that all the poets who have ever existed, could not, with all their works united, give us such sublime poetry and such mighty language as is to be found in the Scriptures.

Ko e Tohitapu´, ko e Tohitapu ‘a e ‘Otua; pea ‘i he taimi ‘oku ou vakai ai ki ai´, ‘oku hange ‘oku ongo mai ha le’o mei he tohi´,‘oku ne pehe mai, “ko e Tohi au ‘a e ‘Otua: tangata, to’o au ‘o lau.  Ko e Tohi au ‘a e ‘Otua; fakaava hoku ngaahi peesi, he na’e hiki au ‘e he ‘Otua; lau ia, he ko Ia na’a ne fatu au´, pea te ke mamata kiate Ia he ‘oku ne hā mai, pea ‘oku fakae´a mai hono naunau´ ‘i he potu kotoa pe.”

“Kuo u tohi ma’ana ‘a e mano’i me’a ‘o ‘eku lao.”  ‘Oku ke ‘ilo fēfē na’e hiki ‘e he ‘Otua´ ‘a e Tohi?  ‘Oku´ ke ‘ilo fēfē na’e hiki ‘e he ‘Otua´ ‘a e Tohi?  Ko e fehu’i eni ‘e ‘ikai te u toe tali pe feinga ke ‘atu ha fakamo’oni.  Kapau te u loto ki ai, ‘oku malava ke u ‘atu ha ngaahi fakamo’oni ke tali’aki ‘a e ngaahi fehu’i fakafihi ‘oku fa‘a fai mai´, ka ‘e ‘ikai te u toe fakamoleki hoku taimi ke ‘oatu ia.  Ka ko ‘eni pe, ko e makehe ‘o e fatutohi ‘oku ha ‘i he Folofola, ‘oku ope atu pea makehe atu ia ‘i he ngaahi tohi fakatalutalu ‘i he hisitolia ‘o e fa’u tohi.  Pea ka tanaki kotoa ‘a e ngaue ‘a e kau tufunga lea mo e kau fa’u ta’anga ‘i he hisitolia ‘o mamani, pea ka fakatahataha’i kotoa ‘a e ngaahi tohi kuo nau hiki, ‘e ‘ikai kakunga ki he lea mohuivi mo laulōtaha ‘oku ma’u ‘i he Folofola.
