There was no one there. I immediately prayed and asked God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit to come in, just in case thats what it was.
So, I rewound the audio Bible. No knocks there, either. It was Numbers.
Then I found this while looking up "Bible two knocks"
Revelation 3:20 – Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
I haven't gotten that far in the Bible yet! I may have heard that verse before but never ruminated on it.
It was a profound experience for me, wanted to share and ask you guys if you'd experienced anything like this.
Apologies for my absence, by the way. I've taken a break to work on myself and to try to find/strengthen my faith.
The Bible HAS NOT BEEN CORRUPTED....Some versions water things down...Like the NIV does. However ALL of the original source materials used are still available. This is an excuse to avoid reading it altogether.
Um, no... it isn’t an excuse.... just a statement of what I think. I’m reading through the Bible as we speak. Just because I think some of it may be corrupted doesn’t mean I think it is devoid of value. I pray for discernment and i ask God to guide my understanding.
I’ve read through the about half the Bible before, but did not complete my journey... which is why I’m doing it again. At the end of it all, I may very well change my opinion.
One thing I took for the first (incomplete) journey is how relevant the Bible is to my life today. When I was a kid, I looked at it like “old stories”... it’s so much more meaningful now. Since opening my eyes more... it is even more relevant, and that is why I’m starting over, because I know I’ll learn more as I see it differently due to current events.
Don’t leap to conclusions- you sound bitter. We are all on a journey of understanding.
If the Bible is not inherent, what do you base your salvation on?
Once you start picking and choosing scriptures that you believe are corrupt, or not corrupt, what do you base your salvation on.?
I base it on my relationship with God.
And what is that based on?
Timelines and chronology in the Bible have been altered by early translators to cast doubt but to those that are faithful it means little. Nothing doctrinally has been changed.
