Why I hate the Bible... Or so they say?

[Anchorite]

But are you familiar with the concept of "the loyal opposition?"

That has no place in Christianity.

If we are loyal to Christ, we will not be in opposition to the written Word of God.

I disagree. Civil debate advances the cause

What opposition? @St. SteVen is neither against Christ nor the Bible. Only the mis-use thereof

 

[St. SteVen]

Three worlds....

1. The World of the Spirit
2. The World of the Flesh
3. The World of the Devil

I have heard that the flesh and the devil are so akin it is hard to discern between the two of them. Outside of the world of the Spirit it is impossible to take delight in the Word of God.

That's interesting.
I divide it this way.
1) The physical realm
2) The spiritual realm

I don't give the flesh its own realm. (world)

The flesh is not always bad.
We all have physical needs, which God is aware of.
But if we spend all our time feeding the flesh, we make no room for the spiritual food.

Some desires of the flesh are sinful, and even the good can be abused.

Some say it has God's fingerprints all over it, I say it has humankind's fingerprints all over it. God never touched it. ​

In your examples, only the Old Testament law (the Law of Moses) has authority.
Who enforces that law? (men)

Spot on right my friend .
The FATHER IS TRUTH , JESUS is Truth , The Spirit is TRUTH
and HIS words are TRUTH .
Any who despises his words despises HE who inspired such words .
This people by and large do exactly what the very jews did right before GOD
had them destroyed . THEY cast HIS WORDS behind them and through doctrines of men they worship GOD in vain .
And when corrected they only double down to justify them selves .
How can a man LOVE GOD WHO IS TRUTH when such a man despises His words .
NO MAN has SEEN GOD . HOW then can it be seen that their lip claim of they love him be seen .
WHAT DO THEY LOVE . is it twisted omited words that call GOD , CHRIST a liar
OR do they simply have childlike faith and trust in HIS WORDS .
Cause it cannot be both .
FOR this cause came i into the world and for THIS reason was i born
TO TESTIFY OF THE TRUTH . All who are OF the TRUTH hear my voice , come to ME .
Or as john once wrote .
HE who hears us is OF GOD but he who hears not us is NOt of GOD .
MANY might cliam to love GOD , might even cliam to love the truth
But their words and actions WILL INDEED PROVE whether this was lip and they followed men
OR whether they T RULY DO FOLLOW THE GREAT KING JESUS .
Many despise things in that bible and they will twist and omit scripture in favor of ear tickling and doctrines
that served their own true hearts desire , their sins and a lie .

Discussion questions:
1) What is the best reason to love the Bible?

It is Absolute Truth.
It covers:
Love / Hate,
Peace / Violence
Righteous / Corrupt
With God / Without God
And:
A mans Option to freely Choose ANY path.

2) What concerns do you have about the misuse of the Bible?

Misuse…by men of the Bible…?
# 1
Mens utter ignorance of WHAT common words MEAN, while self-promoting themselves as Biblical Teachers.

3) On a scale of 1 to 10 (low to high) how much do you know about where the Bible came from?

10- High. Inspired by God, who IS SPIRIT…
inSPIRITed.

4) Thoughts on inerrancy and inspiration. ??? Of the original manuscripts, or our English translations?

Some English “Translations” do not always appear in the Same (book Title, Verse).

Some English “Translations” use “modern” words that questionably can result in a corruption of original intent.

Glory to God,
