A few words regarding the understanding of the Scriptures.
- Almost everything in the entire Bible is SPIRITUALLY discerned.
- Jesus taught in parables so that his listeners in public would NOT understand a thing He was saying. He had to teach the meaning of these parables to His disciples in private.
- Once you understand thoroughly a half dozen spiritual TRUTHS, the rest is kinda easy.
One will never ever understand the Scriptures with the mind set and carnal mindedness of the Christian tradition. You must understand a few spiritual Truths that are totally rejected in all religions of the world and atheists as well. Here are a few:
- God is totally Sovereign. That is, He is in control of EVERYTHING and ALL THE TIME. Many people actually claim to believe this, but they really really don't.
- The words "everlasting" "evermore," "forever," "for ever AND EVER[?]," and "eternal" are nowhere found even once in any Hebrew or Greek manuscript from which our modern language bibles are translated.
- Man does NOT have a "free" will that can make decisions independent of his Sovereign God.
- Man is mortal, not immortal as Christendom teaches. Therefore, when people die, they are DEAD, not alive in a different geographical location.
- The ONLY hope for believers is that there will be a RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD.
[There are unscriptural] Biblical doctrines that are of no value to Christendom. They teach that dead people go to a place called hell and a place call heaven WHEN THEY ARE DEAD!
- Hell is not the translation of any word in either the Hebrew or Greek Manuscripts.
- Heaven and hades (often translated hell) are not geographical locations.
- God will save all mankind, seeing that He IS THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD.
- God is a family and not a trinity.
- We are under a New Covenant, and the old is passing away.
- God is LOVE (no really, He really is, He would never torture most of His creation in fire for all eternity).
Well, there you have it. Understand those few principle and the Bible is a whole new book.
With these few spiritual Truths in mind even you can become a Biblical scholar.
God be with you,
