I appreciate what you are saying but I intrepret that verse completely differently and know that indeed the Bible was infiltrated by an evil group of people who removed many of the books and altered so many verses it's pathetic. I do daily Bible study and I know for certain that verse if wrongly interpreted. I don't want to get into religion on this board so I won't share what I do know as it would be lengthy but I respect what you are saying and your right to believe that.
Yikes, I don't envy your task. Trying to figure out which part of the scriptures are inspired and God-given and which aren't, I would think this will lead to a double-minded soul" After all "A little leaven leavens the whole loaf" For me it's simple, Genesis to Revelation is the God-given inspiredt word of God, and the Holy Spirit (The Teacher) brings understanding. Food for thought: Wouldn't you think, if man can delete, hide, and pervert the word God (intended) for the well-being of man, that would make man smarter than God, and Satan smarter than God. Of course not, so what we have is the word of God, and is profitable for every need we could ever face. "Heaven and Earth will pass away, but God's word will never pass away"π
You know, you sound like someone who would be a good Bible study guide as I have to admit, I am only now studying the Bible on a daily basis and I just let God tell me what to study. I only have time to do a few minutes in the morning because I start my therapy pretty early and I rely upon my phone giving me a verse of the day and I always play at least one Christian song a day but that is pretty much the extent of what I am doing right now. So if you have time in your life to share your Bible study I am more that willing to give you my email address. I can't talk on the phone because of the palsy, but I'm happy to share my email and my cell because I rely on texting as well. It was the only form of communication I used while in the hospital so I used it a lot.
I would love to tell you how I know for certain that verse is wrong but lets hold off on that in case you are willing to take me on.
Yes I would be willing to share the word, with you. Just not quite sure how we would do it. But in the meantime it saddens me to hear about the palsy, and if it Grieves me to hear you struggle with palsy, how much more God? Therefore I share these things for you to study, (that you might be healed). Read: Psalms 103 you will find in those verses written the benefits that belong to anyone that belongs to Christ. After finding out from Psalms 103 what belongs to you (in Christ) then go to the example given in Luke 13: 11-16 Notice: what is written there about the woman suffering with the spirit of infirmity 18 years, Jesus said Satan had bound her (not) God, Jesus said she had (a right) to go free (not because she had done good works, not because, she had never sinned) but simply because she was (a daughter of Abraham) (meaning) healing belong to her in the Abrahamic covenant, that means then that healing belongs to us too because,(Galatians 3:29) says,"if you belong to Christ then (you are Abraham's seed )and heirs according to the promise" therefore healing belongs to anyone who belongs to Christ, (in other words) you too have a right to go free. Sin as been paid for on the cross by Christ, and where sin has been paid for sickness has no right to stay. Notice: this lady went 18 years without her healing even though it belonged to her, and was not God's will that she be sick. This can only be for two reasons: One: She didn't know her covenant and What belonged to her(as it is written) "My people perish for a lack of knowledge" or she knew but (didn't believe) it. Unbelief hinders the perfect will of God being done on Earth Notice: Matthew 13:58 ( "And there Jesus could do no mighty works because of their unbelief") Notice: it didn't say Jesus (wouldn't) it said he (couldn't) heal them because of they're unbelief. Which is happening to many Christians today, because of their unbelief or lack of knowledge. They think because they're not healed it must not be God's will. They forget or don't know that everything that belongs to us from God must be received by faith. Study: Numbers chapter 13 and 14, here you will see that God gave the people of Israel the promised Land, so it's clear,it was God's will that they have the land,but they would not believe it, therefore they did not go in and possess it and died in the wilderness (never possessing what belonged to them) (except) for Caleb and Joshua the (only two) who dared believe God and went in and possess the land, God had given them. So you see it is possible for something to be God's Will for our life, and yet it not be done because we won't believe it . If you have given your life to Christ then you belong to Christ and you have a right to be healed, healing belongs to you just like it belonged to that woman with the spirit of infirmity. As you study the Bible it is imperative that you remember and believe (two things) ONE:"God is the same yesterday today and forever"(Hebrews 13:8) that means what God did before he still doing. SECOND: "God is (no respecter) of persons (Romans 2: 11-16) that means whatever God did for somebody else he's willing to do for you(if you are willing to believe as they did). God wanted that woman with the spirit of infirmity to go free from sickness, and he desires you to go free from sickness. 3John:2 says, "Beloved, I desire above all things that thou mayest prosper, be in health, even as your soul prosperous" this is God's perfect will for us, on Earth. Guard yourself, from those who say,"Oh all that has passed away" Remember those that think they can't, don't. "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he" instead line yourself up with the words ofJesus, who said," ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THEM THAT BELIEVE" here are a couple of resources for you, that I recommend, get your hands on anything written by E W Kenyon (can be ordered on Amazon) next go on YouTube, where you can get for free, all the messages preached by Kenneth E Hagin and listen carefully, combine your own study of God's word ,with what God will show you through these men of God. And if you will apply FAITH to what God will show you, as surely as I'm writing you, you shall go free from the palsy. π
Oh my goodness gracious. Thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed. I'm going to print it out so I can send it to my niece, who will be turning 48 this year. She just turned to God and our relationship has completely changed and we are closer now than we ever have been.
This is a lot of material to take in and my eyesight is very poor right now. My neurosurgeon said I shouldn't get new glasses for 3 months until my eye is better or I will have to do it twice and we don't have that kind of money to waste.
I have questions; not very many but I do have questions and I have no one to ask these questions of. But I bet you can answer them. I will ask them as they come up and I would deeply appreciate you sharing just as you have in this text.
I am a Christian, though I was baptised when I was in 4th grade and I went thru a rebirth in 1979 when I briefly lived with my grandmother before traveling overseas where my husband was stationed. I truly feel the need to do it again because of all that has happened but I do not attend church. I abhor one sided conversations where I cannot ask questions and I can't tell you how many times I have disagreed with something a baptist preacher preaches from the pulpit and I never got a chance to tell/ask him.
So I will be watching those sermons and looking into Amazon but actually reading the Bible is very difficult for me right now. I prefer the KJV and we can talk about that later. I have You Version on my phone and every morning it gives me a verse of the day and that is when I start my daily worship. Today's verse is Zephaniah 3:17. I would be curious to know the significance of your screen name "2823" as I didn't even think it a name until I couldn't find any other.
Thank you so very much for this. I think we are off to an awesome start.
