Bible History (The Greatest Book Ever Written) 2-24-25

There are people of various beliefs who do not accept the whole counsel of God, yet they confess that Jesus is their Savior. I don’t doubt that part, but how close can you be to someone or how well do you know them unless you get to know that person more and more, by desiring and striving to know them more intimately.

Example: Jesus and His disciples Peter James and John had a desire for an intimate relationship, they chose to be closer to Jesus. Those who choose not to be intimate will not receive the same rewards as those who choose to sell out, to purpose in their hearts to allow God’s will and purpose to be fulfilled in their lives.

Note: If a true Christian does not embrace or accept the whole Bible to be true and live by it, doesn’t mean they won’t go to heaven; it’s just that they will not be rewarded. The more you work at something greater things will be achieved; and the greater the reward.

So much for that! Let’s get to those who don’t believe the Bible is authentic, true facts; they believe that people came up with their own theory, or interpretation. First of all, to anyone who believes that something definitely is wrong. I am going to challenge you with these questions.

Did man make the solar system? Is man so great that he made the oceans (Genesis, chapter one). Can a human being be everywhere at the same time (Omnipresent)? Does a human being know everything (Omniscience, which means knowledge) – only what the Almighty God puts in him’ which comes by studying God’s Word. Is a human being all powerful (Omnipotent)? That is not possible, because otherwise they would either be equal to God. All things were made by Him, and without Him there was not anything made that was made (John 1:3).

That was Lucifer’s problem, he wanted to be like God (Isaiah 14:12-15). Not even the devil has those capabilities; that’s why he has demons working for him (they are the third of the angels that were cast out of heaven with the Lucifer, whose name became many (Satan, devil, adversary, enemy and so on).

This is what the Word of God says: 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. (2 Peter 1:20-21).

I believe God allowed errors in writing the Bible to show that humans are not perfect, and we cannot be compared to Him. How can the clay (us humans) be compared to the Potter who made us.

Example of an error in the King James Bible was and still is in Romans the Spirit itself (Romans 8:16, 26), however the margin in verse twenty-six says Himself. Jesus called the Spirit He/Himself (John 16:13-14). Also, when Jesus was speaking of the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, Jesus said, He (John 14:16-17, 26).

There are many new translations that are written in our everyday language, but one must be careful, because some add or even take away from the original King James Version. We use thee NKJV as our number means of studying, and there are errors in that translation also.

The Lie! Some say the King James Bible was written by King James; scholars got permission from King James (1611) to translate the Bible from Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek to the old English language (what was spoken during that time). When the true facts are revealed, it stops the lies that Satan uses against us to keep us in bondage.
