I would say let the Holy Spirit guide your interpretations and actions . Contradictions , things have been lost in the translations we have has to be part of it IMO . We don't have a "THE BIBLE " , we have many translations .
The author of so many Translations, is not God caused., as this actually causes a lot of confusion and God does not author confusion.
One of the best ways to discover "which bible" should i use"" ????... which is the real one......is regarding 3 Situations..
1.) Find out if the bible you are using, says....>>"God is
A Spirit".. which is defining God's Spirit as the Holy Spirit......or if your bible says...>>>. """" God is Spirit"......as in that case, the so called "bible' is not making a distinction between the Devil's unholy demoic spirit, and God's Holy Spirit, which is
"A" Spirit = God's/
Certainly God would author a Bible that makes that distinction, and would not be the source of a "bible" that doesn't.
Next.
2.) Does your bible say......>"God was manifested in the Flesh"......or does it say.....>>"HE, was manifested in the Flesh". ?????
So, if it says "HE"....then "He who?"".......as the bible is not defining that "God" was "manifested in the Flesh".
And one more..
3.) Discover which Bible is under attack, most of all on Forums and from Pulpits, and in Commentaries......... and you've discovered the one that Satan's hates.. and that is a revelation for you.
