I can concur with folks having been taught a certain interpreted "word" as the word of God & indoctrinated & then passing that on in error of innocence w/o intent to deceive.
We are warned to test spiritual against spiritual & them against the word of God.We are warned also to be aware of being deceived by the many deceivers that are in these last days!
Therefore it behooves us to " study to show ourselves approved of God", not man !
And this is the beauty of it . IF we would but return to the bible for ourselves
THINGS can get cleared up pretty fast . That is the problem though , most folks would rather sit under men
and just go with the flow of whatever feels good and seems right .
But i do want to remind us of something which I KNOW will GIVE GOD THE GLORY .
THE LAMBS have a love for truth planted upon our hearts , BY GOD , by HIS grace
and lambs love to feast on TRUTH . THEY LOVE THAT BIBLE . THANKS BE TO GOD for HIS LIFE , HEART CHANGING
agape love for HIM he puts upon our hearts . Truly i can take credit for nothing good , ALL THE GLORY GOES TO GOD
and unto HIS CHRIST . I notice more and more in this generation sure are becoming
fast too blame GOD for all the ills in this world . NOW THAT HONOR GOES TO MAN . Adam and eve
DIRECTLY disobeyed GOD . THEY ate from the TREE , and the CURSE CAME .
and we ourselves are no less guilty than were they . FOR ALL HAVE SINNED .
MAN gets all the credit for the evils in the world . GOD GETS ALL THE GLORY and CREDIT FOR THAT WHICH IS GOOD .
He even made THE ONLY WAY FOR US back to HIM . IN CHRIST JESUS . NOW that is LOVE
But sadly most wont embrace that , cause many love thier sin and wont come to the light lest their deeds be exposed .
THE REASON this world is so full of evil , rape , murder , kidnappings , rapes , poverty , starvation
disease , pestilence and any other hardship , THE FAULT LIES NOT ON THE CREATOR . IT LIES ON MAN KIND .
GOD told adam . HE TOLD HIM TO SPECIFICALLY NOT EAT OF THAT ONE TREE . WELL the CURSE CAME
and this world has been under the curse ever since as have been every man born .
BUT NOW LET US PRAISE GOD PRAISE CHRIST JESUS . FOR IN HIM we are no longer under the curse .
AND one day we gonna see NEW HEAVENS and a new earth . ALL THE GLORY GOES TO GOD
we truly can take no credit for it at all . ALL HONOR TO THE GLORIOUS LAMB OF GOD
the CHRIST OF GOD , to GOD THE FATHER OF OUR LORD and SAVOIR JESUS CHRIST . WHO GIVES US SUCH HOPE
and giveth us what we earned not , which is SECOND death , but rather we have ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST .
ITS TRULY IMPOSSIBLE to count up all the blessing of GOD given us in CHRIST . As for evils , MAN KIND GETS THE BLAME FOR ALL THAT . GOD gets the HONOR FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD .
