A few of us have been discussing John 6 and the roman church with @Marymog and @Augustin56 in the thread if you think mary remained.....
In this thread, @Augustin56 said the following about the bible
I am going to look at different aspects of the conversation and put them into rows. and use what Jesus said to make up this equation.
2 + 2 = X
where the first 2 will be all the things Jesus named about this food.
the second 2 will be what God told us to do
and the X will represent what will happen if we add these two things together.
Now I know some people think this may be foolish. But my hope is to show that John 6 is really not that complicated that people make it seem to be. and the difference between those who think X = 4 and those who think X = 5
In this thread, @Augustin56 said the following about the bible
My reply to him was that God did not give us a letter that we could not read. In fact. John tells us that the words are written to us so we may not be decievedJesus trained and formed men to spread His message. He didn't write a book to be self-interpreted to do so.
I wanted to go deeper into this. But I did not want to keep taking a thread someone made about Mary and keep trying to discuss something else. So I thought I would continue this conversation and show what I meant about the math equation and how we can use it to see if someone is trying to lead us astray, or to better yet. show how John 6 is not really all that complicated.lol.. yeah, he gave us a book we can't read or understand.
ok.
like I said, any excuse to keep yourself under the guidance of men.
lets just say this
when a word says 2 + 2 = 4
And someone comes in and says 2 + 2 = 5
then you walk away from the person who can not do basic math
The bible is not really all that complicated. Especially when you are born of God. What does the word say?
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
John makes a point here we should all take heed. The word is written to us concerning those who try to deceive us. We have an anointing (if we do) then we do not need people to teach us, The same anointing that saved us will also teach is.
