Hey peacebewithyouheres how I look at it.The bible is an amazing book. In fact we downgrade it by even calling it a book, it is so much more!!and the Bible is so amazing that most of the events and words almost have double meanings.because they relate to current events and things which happen to us today. The holy spirit was involved in writing every word and the holy spirit is omniscent because it is God ( because he is 3 in 1) so therefore it can relate to us. One passage which has struck me which applies amazingly to the current world but also to the world back when it was written is in Romans 2. Read this18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. 21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. 24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. 28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice themIdol worship right???read it again with evolution in mind Isn't that incredible, and its completley true ever since evolutions been on the rise the murder rate has risen, more people claim to be homosexual ect. It completley relates to todays situation.another example In this example Jesus tells the crowd one sentence with two truths one which relates to us today.john 6:51 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."the obvious interpretation ( sorry Kriss) is Jesus telling us the power of the eucharist. Now obviously the jews were not thinking this, because the words "eat my flesh" also meant to attack and persecute in aramic. Jesus was saying " attack and persecute me and you gain eternal life."and also " eat my flesh ( the eucharist) and gain eternal life." both were true, we attacked and persecuted Jesus which allowed him to be the sacrificial lamb and we also partake in the eucharist to be closer to him.Amazing.note to non catholics, I AM NOT APPLYING THAT THE CATHOLIC EUCHARIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO SALVATON. Jesus also said " I am the way and the life whoever lives in me will not perish and have eternal life." there are many ways to accept Jesus . the eucharist is just one way ( even if I think its one of the best.)your brother in christRyan Fitz
