Why I love the Bible

[Ritajanice]

To be honest. The Bible was always a "boring book" to me. And then when I studied a masters degree on it it was even a "heavy burden" to me. And then our "Abba Father/Daddy, Jehovah/Yahweh" changed it all. When He gave me the Godly Created Desire to Drink it as my Milk. When I was already preaching as a Reverend in the Dutch Reformed Church for 2 years. My mind highly educated but my Spiritual Life a "Baby of God".

1 Peter 2: 2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

I hope you stick around, Brother, your posts are so edifying and really speak to my heart.

Your anti-bible Threads and your posts, created your reputation.
As you know.

I think your discernment is wanting!

I think your discernment is wanting!

If a person who claims to have """"only read the bible through once'"""", and then comes to a "christian forum" to try to sit in judgement over the word of God by writing many Threads that castigate, abuse, and directly attempt to cast doubt on the bible, then you are dealing with a serious offender of The Holy.

when you find someone who is posting Threads, because = they want to cause you to have doubt about the word of God, you are dealing with something that God is not authorizing.

When I daily review the list of new posts, I sometimes find titles of threads that are not edifying. I do wonder why someone would title threads in that manner. It is not helpful to the body of Christ.

Not sure if that is a reference to my threads, but I will say this...
If the status quo can't stand up to a few challenges then it is a house of cards that needs to fall. IMHO

You added the word "once."

It's what you want to believe, regardless of what is true.

You are an expert in evil surmising.

Luke 9:54-55 NKJV — And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?” But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of."

That's a great point. Thank you.

. While the "paper Bible" can be interpreted by anyone as he wishes to create a religion for himself and his name

Praise God for his Living testimony who indwells my spirit/ heart, permanently....whoever the Father gives to the Son...none can pluck them from his hand.

Gods truth 100% and God NEVER lies ...in the Mighty Name Of Jesus!...Amen!

I don't know whose threads they are....I only see the titles.

The Word of God says the following:

We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. 2 Cor. 6:3

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. 1 Cor. 10:31-33

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. Romans 14:13

The subject of offense is very interesting. Worth a topic.
Offense is in the eyes and ears of the offended.

Proverbs 19:11 NIV
A person’s wisdom yields patience;
it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.

Matthew 15:12 NIV
Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

Matthew 13:57 NIV
And they took offense at him.
But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”

If offense is the problem, I would say those who attack with their reply posts are more to blame than those who provide thought-provoking topics. I am being torn to shreds on a regular basis. But I CHOOSE not to be offended.

Was Jesus Heretical? - Why did they crucify Him?

Follow-up to the Was Jesus Orthodox? (or Baptist) topic. The previous thread examined the term 'orthodox". This thread will focus on the term "heretical". In the same way that something is not considered orthodox, it may also be termed as heretical. Thus labeling the person targeted as a...

Another way of looking at it, you choose not to take the bait, where you would be trolling back to the other troll...in other words you have discernment and refuse to be brought down to their level...they try and justify their behaviour..rather than address it...it’s very sad to watch...you certainly do the right thing by ignoring their posts, no matter the countless times they post antagonistic words to you,by judging, criticism and condemning you...you just let their posts stand, for all to see.......don’t feed the “ troll” or their “ flesh”...

I have been there done all that...just my way of looking at it from a different angle..

So, if you post Threads that are purposely offensive to the Bible, and then claim you love it...what does this make you @St. SteVen .?

You speak of a book as if it is a person you worship. (an idol)

Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

I have encountered some that I thought had fallen into this trap. I asked them, "What would become of your faith if you put your whole library out on the curb on trash day?" The guilty are left mostly speechless. Or, alternatively VERY angry. How come? To be clear, I love the Bible and use...

Somone like you who teaches a false gospel that leads unbelievers to believe they will be saved, no matter what, is in no position to claim that you "love the bible".......or that you can understand why Real Christians, do..... @St. SteVen

You are only on this Forum, or any..... to agitate real believers, and continually ""shovel"" your content across a "christian" forum.

That is a complete mischaracterization of what I discuss about the final judgment. (you are bearing false witness again)

God's Word is living, not an ordinary book.

16All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

14But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 3:14-15

Your false gospel theology is not dealing with the final judgment.......its instead teaching that being born again on Earth, is not required so that a person, a sinner, can be forgiven.

Your False Gospel says....."no worries.....as if you die a Christ rejector, its ok, as God is going to save us ALL in the end'. @St. SteVen

So.... understans......= That's not a Mischaracterization of your demonic "Universalism".......its in fact a literal repudiation of it based on Paul's Gospel that teaches that yours is :

Galatians 1:8

 

[St. SteVen]

God's Word is living, not an ordinary book.

I agree. (within reason)
But it was never intended to be an idol. "No other gods before me."

Do you understand where the Bible came from?
I think that calling the whole thing "God's Word" is misdirected.
