Hey friend-I use the Koine Greek daily and the Hebrew Masoretic and not afraid to look up selective scholars to help me to understand the text and rightly divide-why so hard on @Rita?
Instead of rejoicing with her you slam-dunk her-we are ALL watching out so no need to continually warning believers in Christ Jesus but speak up and out to those you have a problem with.
It can get a bit tiresome.
Shalom

Lets start asking one the other and all some questions .
but prepare to hear pretzel doctrine and oh that was for that time and not this time
or that applied to that group and not this group . WELL Isay EVERY WORD of GOD
of CHRIST applies to us today same as it did to the early church .
Cultures are different , times do change , BUT NOT GOD , NOT HIS TRUTH , NOT HIS WORDS . that is how darn solid
i am about things . But watch out cause men can say that too
and yet they gonna say oh paul said this because of the culutre
JESUS said that because of the culture and times . GUESS who i dont heed , THEM .
GUESS who i do heed , JESUS . And i sure thinks its time all go and do likewise . MEN are the ones
complicating the bible my friend , THEY DO SO to JUSTIFY AS TO WHY THEY DO and BELIEVE as they do .
AS for me , IF JESUS said it , well , THAT IS ENOUGH FOR ME to know ITS TRUTH and TRUE .

Off topic-if YOU have a problem with false religions or members under the influence of a lie-YOU go to that person and rebuke-Rita and myself enjoy the Scriptures as it stands written in Koine Greek and Hebrew and not shy to use Scholars to help US rightly cutting straight the Scriptures.

You have a LOT to say about people using this form of studying the Scriptures, Grammar and Morphology so here's my advise, cool down, have a cup of coffee and relax.

Thanks

I am simply saying if we want to know what one believes , ask questions . you would be amazed
my dear friend . One can say GOD is love and i say GOD is love
and yet one can use that phrase to justify evil and remove truth that corrects . WHILE as I WONT do that .
But this aint the only thing . Start asking US all questions . ask me , ask rita , ask the other guy here
And you watch and behold our answers .
I see many people that make statments like WE BELEIVE IN JESUS THE CHRIST , only to find out by oversation
and by bringing truth , THEY SURE DONT SEEM TO BELIEVE HIM . which amounts to A PROBLEM johann .
How do we know one truly has the LOVE OF GOD and not rather the love of the world . ITS real easy to discern it my friend .
I say lets ask questions . this way if one be in error well we can discuss it by SCRIPTURES . notice i said by SCRIPTURES .

what is pathetic is that most have and had no real desire to spend time in the bible for just themselves .
and that year and year they sat under men who on a sunday or wednesday night maybe taught them some stuff .
BUT I dont see hardly anyone who just loves to read daily that bible for just themselves .
THEY had rather spend time watching TV , or doing this or that .
NOW that is not meant to accuse you or anyone else . BUT IT IS A FACT . TOO MANY are in love with this world
NOT WITH GOD , NOT WITH HIS WORDS , HIS TRUTH . and that IS A FACT .
How is coming under the ministry of the Bible ‘ having no desire to spend time in the Bible for just themselves ‘ what don’t you understand about ‘ studying scripture ‘ ……

yes in time i will become the enemy even to those i love . You are not listening my friend .
GO and start another thread and lets call it questions and answers . LET ALL COME
but do be prepared to weep as i do and have often wept for many .
I am telling us MOST DO NOT KNOW THE JESUS CHRIST OF THAT BIBLE ,
they know only phrases about a love , about this or that , but NOT HIM . but test me on this .
IF we want to help them , the time is NOW .

i never said that was . but if we begin and thread called questions and answers
would you care to join in it . AND DO bring everyone you can .
Sadly i will prove to us something . MOST DO NOT KNOW JESUS THE CHRIST at all .
they know only a version men taught about him . that is a fact sister .
not an accusation . AND I aint talkingabout a few errors here and there either .
I MEAN THEY DO NOT KNOW HIM AT ALL and follow another jesus .

Wouldn’t the best way to study the Bible be to believe it’s the inspired word of God and every word means exactly what it says?
IT would my friend . i am not against greek .
But what i say to one i say to all . I did learn what it meant , GOD showed me . also i had and do have
a very old english dictionary .
HERE is the kicker . When men brought greek words and etc
i already knew it without the greek . NOW HOW do you suppose that was .
MEN who wrote the older bibles , like tyndale , wycliff , later the kjv or geneva . THEY HAD corectely translated .
YOU SEE todays men try and tell us THEY DIDNT KNOW GREEK or etc .
THEY KNEW BETTER tthan todays clowns who decieve know .
That too is a fact . NOW i already know
the word easter was used in the KJV . BUT IF we read the line , those were the days of unleavend bread
HELLO DOLLY that is the PASSOVER . see i knew that without any greek .
Now the tyndale and geneva and etc had used the word passover .
But i didnt know that till i later read them for myself .
But just cause the KJV used easter dont make it a bad translation .
It just mens sadly it what they called it . i suppose
the word easter had replaced passover . WHICH i wish they had not done that , but still its accurate .
In fact just by the continual reading of the bible
i know the difference between how TEMPTATION and TRIAL was often used under the same word as TEMPTATION .
but again by reading it over and over again , I came to see exactly which one was being used .
YOU would be amazed at what GOD can do for the soul that loves HIM .
Just like the word preceed and prevent . it uses the word prevent , yet it should say preceeed .
But again when i even first read that i knew it mean precede by just the way it read .
THE BIBLE AINT COMPLICATED . only a few places can be hard at first to understand .
I never sat under one scholar
and yet i can prove that james and paul DID did not contradict each other , like some try and say they did
or that peter nor paul preached different gospels , like some try and say they did .
I JUST read the bible for me . AND GOD taught me . and its not really that difficult at all . MEN COMPLICATED THINGS .

IT DO mean what it says . BINGO my friend .
now i know there are some words in their that might not be identical to what todays english is
BUT VERY VERY FEW . say for example prevent . that actually means in several places preceed . as in go before
to preceed one . but it says to prevent . but again when i first read
that line used in the letter to the thessalonians , I KNEW what it meant by just reading .
Plus words like incontinent or others . WELL i looked them up in the older dictionary .
And if the word was used in a phrase , I had already understood it right .
NOW if it was used in a list , I DID NOT KNOW IT . but we would be amazed at how
plain and easily understood the bible is . ITS MEN that complicate it . by twisting it
to fit their own deceived teachings .

Click on Forums-you will see "Post thread"" and post whatever is on your mind.
The reason most do not have any love for me johann is because i expose sin and error .
as you will soon see if you follow me around .
I aint even talking about greek or no greek .
You just follow me around and you see . as for the greek , i say its fine per say
so long as it dont contradict what the meaning in said bible was implying .
and they do , DO that johann . i watched them do it . but i aint saying that greek is bad
or etc . I am saying watch out for men and watch out for a ton of commenatries too .
watch out for footnotes in the bible . MEN are twisting stuff . and of course some of it is right
BUT NOT ALL . they are twisting things johann .

All I know is the Bible is written in such a way that it can’t be properly understood unless the words are treated with the utmost respect.

I’m certain if every person came to the Bible with an open mind and no preconceived ideas and believed exactly what was written then we would all agree.

It’s not like the Bible can be interpreted, the Bible just says what it says. The only leeway we have as far as interpretation goes is whether a topic is spiritual or literal and when we can establish a doctrine with zero contradictions then we know we’ve done it right.

My time is precious and can't follow you around exposing sin and error-also, you make sweeping statements but not willing to name the members you seemingly have a problem with.
And you DO have a problem with some who study the Scriptures in Hebrew and Greek and then say "THEY" are twisting the Scriptures.
Who are the "they/them?"
Let's see if you are transparent.

Only if they do twist the scriptures is when i have the problem .
The who as concerns the they and them , my friend that number be so high i dont think any mere mortal
could count it .
However i have not once said you twist the scrips .
Nor that you use the greek or hebrew to do so .
But many long have .
And due to the fact i do not know all who do so
i must exhort all to beware and to test all . To actually read and enjoy the scriptures for themselves .

That's exactly wrong. @IndianaRob

Here is the issue with trying to read the Bible as if its a Dictionary, or an Encyclopedia, or a Newspaper

Its not..

See, the words in the word of God, are all spiritual, because Christianity is all Spiritual.
So, you must be OF the Spirit of God, born again, or the bible will not reveal itself., and it still wont, until you learn how to discern it.

And once again... born again, is not "dunked in water or sprinkled".. so, be not deceived about that reader.

This means... that Its not about readying it.. its about HOW the Holy Spirit reveals the Light of Revelation, that is in the verse, inside your spiritual understanding.

You dont get this from just reading the verse, over and over.

Bible verses have to be OPENED- revealed by the Holy Spirit, who is "Christ in you".... or they remain words on a page that you would read and not understand them, even tho they seem to make perfect sense.

This is why 1John 1 says you must confess sin, and 1 John 3 says you dont. (KJV).

The words in the word of God are "Spiritually Discerned", and that means the Spirit of God, reveals them to you.

"Behold,......you mean if im not saved, or if i am saved, and i just read the NT 150 times, i can't understand it correctly".

That's correct., you can't, as the bible is not to be understood, its to be Spiritually DISCERNED.

And because so many who started a denomination, cannot, then that is why you have 45,000 denominations in the world that DO NOT AGREE ON SCRIPTURE, and never will.


This is why you have a "cult of Mary" and a Protestant church.
