Have You Ever Read The Bible From The Start To The Finish? by Nobody: 9:29am On Aug 12, 2017 |
By God's grace the Bible is one of the books I have to my credit. I started it on 4th April and finished on 11th August, this year. I read with understanding, it was very interesting, the historical books, the Jews, prophets, Pentateuch, the Gospel, letters, etc. Heretofore, I've been reading the Bible and all that but I just made out time and was determined to study all the wordings. Lastly, I urge you to do the same because you will learn a lot. 13 Likes 1 Share

When I was a christian, I read a chapter everyday from Genesis to Revelation. and starts all over again when I get to the end. I learnt some vital lessons. 1. the old testament is the history of the Jews and not my history or that of the whole world. 2. the god depicted in the old testament is the tribal god of the Jews and not that of the whole humanity and not my God either. hence his sending the Jews to massacre other tribes and races who are not in harmony with the Jews 3. For the first time in the New testament, Jesus presented a picture of a loving God to the Jews which was quite alien to them as they preferred their war mongering god which led to them crucifying Jesus 4. for the first time too, in the new testament, Jesus introduced the Holy Spirit which he said will lead one to all truth and this was culminated in the pentescost when the apostles experienced the Holy Spirit and were empowered thereafter. 5. this now led for my quest for the Holy Spirit which culminated in my becoming a member of ECKANKAR. 6. ECK meaning Holy Spirit and ANKAR meaning The way. put together meaning, the way of the Holy Spirit 20 Likes 7 Shares |

benodic:you need a serious Bible lesson . 1.it was through Abraham that God promised to multiply his seed , in other word, just as God use prophet to deliver his message, He use Israel to reach out to the rest of mankind. 2. in the old testament, they live in the despensation of the law , and when you break the law, you face the God of justice, Israel too face the wrath of God when they break the law. the purpose of this law to contrast our holiness with that of God and show how weak man his. but in the new testament, THE WRATH OF GOD IS FULFILLED. “‘The day will come,’ says the Lord, ‘when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. . . . But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day,’ says the Lord. ‘I will put my law in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people’” (Jeremiah 31:31, 33). Jesus Christ came to fulfill the Law of Moses (Matthew 5:17) and to establish the New Covenant between God and His people. The Old Covenant was written in stone, but the New Covenant is written on our hearts. 3. indeed , Jesus fulfilled the old testament prophecy of love, that was when the DESPENSATION OF GRACE BEGINS. 4. who is the holy spirit ? active force or a person ? cc benodic 19 Likes 1 Share |

Faith works for all gods Therefore, faith works for fake gods Some believers are inspired by their holy book. All religion are inspired by their holy book Therefore, fake holy book can be inspiring Some believers are convinced by their love of god. Many different god are loved by believers. Therefore you can love a fake god Some believers are convinced their prayers are answered. All gods are believed to answer prayers Therefore, fake gods answer prayers Some believers believe their god protect and watch over them. All gods protect and watch over believers Therefore, fake gods watch and protect believers With all these, how then do you know your god is real? 7 Likes |

benodic, you said: 3. For the first time in the New testament, Jesus presented a picture of a loving God to the Jews which was quite alien to them as they preferred their war mongering god which led to them crucifying Jesus Now, why would the war mongering God inspire his own prophets to prophesy about Jesus as seen in the OLD testament? 2 Likes |

@ malvisguy212 you need a serious Bible lesson and you need an open mind and an open heart. two very important ingredients for spiritual growth. @ cyborg123
the Jews whom the old testament is about do not believe Jesus is the one the prophecy is about because so far as they are concerned their war mongering god will send them a general who will liberate them from the Romans and not someone who will ask them to turn the other cheek. The Catholic Church were the ones who gave those interpretations after choosing the books they want to make up the Bible. @ achidisucre
ECKANKAR has its own Holy book called The Way of The Eternal.
ECKANKAR is a religion of its own. It is the path to Spiritual Freedom. The Religion of the Light and Sound of God. Light and Sound being the means through the Holy Spirit, the pure essence of God, manifests to Soul. example is the sound of the wind and the light that appeared as tongues of fire during the pentecost. Contact with the Holy Spirit leads you to all truth. ECKANKAR presents the truth as it is, removed from all social trappings, dogma, politics or traditional cultures and speaks directly to Soul which we all are. 3. Don't you believe in Jesus Christ? We don't work with believe but rather with knowingness. we know that Jesus Christ is a Spiritual Master of the Christ Level of Consciousness and he is still very active in the inner planes ready to teach any Soul who have developed enough spiritual disciplines to meet with him in the inner worlds. Just like other Spiritual Masters. The Spiritual Masters do not quarrel or compete amongst themselves to showcase who is greater than the other. only the ignorant followers who are under the influence of the ego do so. when you are able to move into the inner planes in full consciousness, you will see these things for yourself. and when you have experienced them, the arguments on who is right or wrong ends. you become a love driven soul and all you care for is to care for and love your fellow souls despite differences in race, language or religion. then your journey back to your true home in the abode of God truly begins. 7 Likes 1 Share |

I see the OP said he learnt being good from the Bible, you don't need to read the Bible to learn being good. If you're truly reading it like you say, you're just reading a story book, better ask the HolySpirit to help you. Hope you're going for your Church service today.
