Yes, you’re right.But if men who walked in the flesh and didn’t have the full knowledge of God’s nature spoke in the Bible, and some of them even wrote the Bible, then this Bible will always have contradictions and half truth.

madegreatbygrace:


Yes the Bible is correct, especially when we come to understand that everything there shouldn’t be taken literally

PervertProphet:

I should let Otem tell you, but you are not to abandon one set of beliefs for another set of beliefs. In the Christian book it is written that satan also believes, so it can't exactly be pious to emulate trembling satan despite all the verses that ask one to believe in the same book. So try seeking understanding instead. Its hard work, but you've shown you are up to it.

My love for you has nothing to do with gender. I love you because you apologised for being rude and proved you are not a lazy fuq after all. I read it and love water was in my eyes. buda is genderless.

“For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.”
~‭‭II Peter‬ ‭1:17-21‬ ‭NKJV

Peter writes about a prophecy . What is this prophecy? The prophecy is the inspired word spoken by the prophets concerning the suffering and the resurrection of Christ. Scripture here doesn’t mean the entire Bible. It actually refers to the Old Testament. Recall that at this time, the New Testament was not in existence. So what was spoken by the prophets in the New Testament about Christ was not spoken by the will of man, but these men spoke by the inspiration of the Spirit. Peter is not saying the entire Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit, but the prophecy concerning Christ. This is why all that was spoken by the prophets concerning Christ in the New Testament was fulfilled. There was no contradictions at all. The same can not be said about other areas. I hope that is clear enough.

I don’t read the Bible to suit myself. I read with an open and humble heart, thereby allowing the Holy Spirit to guide. Always ready to learn, unlearn and relearn. When you do all of these, you’ll know when a portion is literal and when it is a figure of speech.

No wonder you are so childlike. Instead of seeking understanding of that which you are commanded, like the soldier that you are, you march forward ignorantly obeying those who command and reason for you as a child would. And like the [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+4%3A1-11&version=NIV]lord of ignorance that you serve[/url], you ask us to humble ourselves and bow down and worship you.

I will pray that your childish ways be put away.

OLAADEGBU:


The moment you discover the difference between being childlike and childish will be the time you begin to see the light. At the moment you lack the fear of God and you need repentance.

Of course, God personally wrote the Bible and handed it out to humans in a language they can understand. If you call on Him He will speak to you in accents clear and still.

You are right about this, and it is pretty obvious to everybody, even to the teenagers in my church . This is low level revelation.

How about the talking serpent in Genesis 3 and Elijah being transported to heaven ?

What about the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart, sir?

madegreatbygrace:


It seems i am being misunderstood. For the record, I am not an atheist. I am a child of The Most High.

First, the Genesis 3 account is a typology and should not be taken literally. The idea of a talking serpent is spooky, not because it wasn’t possible, but because it wasn’t necessary. The devil wasn’t speaking through a serpent, the devil was the serpent. Better still, the serpent is a representation of the devil. We see this in the book of revelation where the devil is constantly referred to as the serpent or dragon.

“So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
~‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;”
‭‭~Revelation‬ ‭20:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Notice that phrase “serpent of old “.

The tree of life is not a tree, it is a person. A tree cannot give life.

“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”
‭‭~John‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The tree of life is therefore Christ.

What about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? That is a typology for the law or works. The fruit of a tree can not defile a man .

“Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.””
‭‭~Matthew‬ ‭15:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Fruit symbolizes words

“A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled.”
~‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So what then is the interpretation of the Genesis 3 account.

God preached the gospel ( tree of life) to Adam and Eve. They acted in unbelief and chose works (tree of the knowledge of the good and evil), via the temptation of satan. This is sin.
Sin leads to death.

Or maybe you need to consider these two accounts:


“Again the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, “Go, number Israel and Judah.””
~‭‭II Samuel‬ ‭24:1‬ ‭NKJV


‬‬ “Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.”
~‭‭I Chronicles‬ ‭21:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I’m sure it’s clear to you who actually moved David to number Israel . God and satan have suddenly formed a tag team,right?
