So many people believe today that the Bible is considered either “Gods words or The Word of God.”

It’s not true… it’s a collective of God and his people their doings and happenings. It’s simply “The Bible.” Nothing more. If you disagree with an interpretation all of sudden you’re going against “Gods words or the word of God.” When all you are doing is disagreeing with an interpretation.

Why is that? Taught Tradition?

What you take out of it and use of it is at your discretion.

YOu will find out differently when you stand before Almighty god!

2 Peter 1:19-21

King James Version

19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Now interpretation is used many diffrent ways. So I am not sure how you are using it. But the bible is not subject to interpretation. If people do so, it is called sin.

Great passage that is very applicable!

I don't know what you are referring to. I just simply believe the Bible is the Bible. With evidences concerning the things of God and Man.

When it comes to a subject like end times, I mean you interpret off what you are given. ( And while I haven't studied it as a case in a long time - by the Holy Spirit it helps remind me of the things which were stated.)

The Bible. It's all on the original post.
Welkl based on your OP, it seems you are more against peoples interpretations than the bible.

and though you seem to respect the bible you do not believe that teh whole bible is the inspired authoritative Word of God. that puts you in a dangerous place, being left open to all natural and supernatural interprewtations.

My prayer is you heed it and learn the enormous authority and power is contained in the bible.
Brother, that bible is not more powerful than Yahweh himself.

Pslam 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

I'm thankful you are still around. There are many I am still thankful for being around, here at the Christianityboard.

Love.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

No it is not. But God will not ever contradict or deny His revealed Word called the bible. It is all we need to grow and make sure our relationshihp with god is based on truth.

God is in all people. And God knows all people. Not all people are Awake in Christ though. There are also those who deny him all together.

He created them. I love the Lord Jesus Christ, he is rad! All bets with him, in faith that he died for the worlds sins and that all people are being called to God today, by the drawing of the spirit. Amen?

The heavens do not tell people they have to place their trust in Jesus! Yes Jesus is rad, but don't forget that first and foremost God is perfectly holy!

Actually if you read your bible, you would see that God does not call all people.

Nope but it shows evidences of God.

You can't just be judge of people, unless you are the judge in a court System. There is only one judge in the end.

What people do with their live people reap and sow.

God does call to all people regardless of your statements. It's peoples choice to either accept him calling to them, or reject it.





Lol I post 1 Verse, and you go to WELL IT DONT POINT TO JESUS...

God can lead people to Jesus himself.... BUT OH GREAT COMMISSION GREAT COMMISSION! (Something specifically stated to the apostles at that time.)

The bible has clearly shown that there is no salvation apart from placing ones faith in the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus! If you do not know Jesus you are not saved! Works, good intentions cannot save.

Well what about those who just don't know Jesus. I guess they are at a loss. The thing is with the verse I showed, it makes it possible for God to reach anyone. Even if they may not know the Lord Yeshua, they will come to know him one day...

At least that is something I hope. Faith, Hope, Love. At least that is what is remembered.

Sorry there is no salvation after death! Jesus in JOhn 3 made it clear- if you do not believe in the Son of God you are condemned! You are accepting a lie.

I think that is were you live out the ability for God to reach people ... Everyone in America has heard of Jesus... lol its been broadcasted since the dawn of tv.


Maybe there are some that just are not so sure of who Jesus is and perhaps they just look to God and he works in their heart.

There is no way you can take away the power of Yahavah being able to reach people... Ronald that is very silly to even suggest.
