What is the Bible about?

[NayborBear]

It was wrong for imperfect humans to take God's personal name YHWH out of scripture and replace it with LORD or GOD. It was the True God YHWH who had his name put in scripture and he didn't do anything wrong in any kind of way or sense when he had his personal name YHWH put in scripture over six thousand times. Obviously because he put his personal name YHWH in scripture so many times he wanted people to know his personal name YHWH and use it. Especially since the True God YHWH wanted his enemies to know that he, who's name is YHWH is the True God not their pagan gods they worshipped.

I'll add that it was wrong "also" for imperfect man to eradicate "prefaces" where well intentioned translators included theses changes by ways of calligraphy, these definitions/levels/ of God's as well as the
Government" of the Kingdom of God and Kingdom of the True Light.

 

[JLG]

- And we are told about the condemnation about Israel and Judah and mankind!

Somebody says:

Adonai:
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

(perhaps specificity: the wages of sin is death / we reap what we sow... (ALL of Israel and Judah?))

The Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the only begotten Son of the true and living God, be magnified.
The Lord Jesus Christ comes soon.

 

[JLG]

• My answer

- As the Bible says, Israel and Judah and mankind!

 

[JLG]

Somebody says:

Adonai:
When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

Great is the Lord. Amen.

 

[JLG]

• My answer:

- Progressive teaching!

- But they only understood it after his death!

- On the contrary, Jesus chose Paul and put him on the right track and he understood straight away!

- The twelve apostles went their way!

- Paul went his way!

- But he had a bigger field!

- He was chosen for that!

 

[JLG]

Somebody says:

Adonai:
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.


On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Great is the Lord.

 

[JLG]

• My answer:

- And as Jesus, the apostles and also Paul said, corruption would spread everywhere because of man's tradition!

- And it even started before they died!

- And it has been developing till today to such an extent!

- It was so in the first part of the Bible, it was so in the second part of the Bible!

- That's why God is going to clean the earth and get rid of man's tradition!

- Only God's word and way will remain!

- No more corruption!

 

[JLG]

Somebody says:

Adonai:
And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

 

[JLG]

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

Great is the Lord.

 

[JLG]

Somebody says:

Adonai:
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Great is the Lord.

 

[JLG]

• My answer:

- Yes to fulfill!

- Yes John 4:21!

- And remember what Acts says about circumcision for the Christians!

 

[JLG]

Somebody says:

There is no greater authority than Jesus of Nazareth, the only begotten Son of the true and living God:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Blessed be the Holy One of Israel. Amen.

 

[JLG]

- First we must remember what the devil said to Eve!

- You are not going to die!

- But they died!

- Religion usually says man keeps living after death!

- Prophets resurrected people!

- Jesus resurrected people!

- Apostles resurrected people!

- Jesus speaks about people who are dead as asleep and they can be awoken!

- Thus there is resurrection!

- In Revelation 20, we are told about the first and second resurrections!

- Then we are told about the thousand years!

- Then about a big battle!

- Then comes Revelation 20:10:

What is the Bible about?​

I prefer to write succinct posts. It is impossible to write an adequate succinct post about any epic story, let alone one involving 66 books. In short, the Bible is the story of God, the Fall of Man, and God's plan for our redemption.

Somebody says:

Adonai:

Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works.

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

and again:

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Blessed be Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the only begotten Son of the true and living God; truly - there is no greater authority KNOWN to mortals; and it is only through Him that any have fellowship with the Father. Amen.
