The Bible

Some will tell you that the Bible is "the inerrant Word of God." The word inerrant means "incapable of being wrong." We might then ask which one of the hundreds of versions of the Bible is inerrant.

Many people will have an opinion as to which version of the Bible you must read but the truth is as soon as the words are read by a man they are no longer inerrant because there is no man who is inerrant, "incapable of being wrong." Since reading words requires the mind to apply meaning to the words you are reading, error creeps into the text.

A thousand men reading the Bible will produce a thousand interpretations of what the Bible is saying because men who rely on their flesh and blood opinion and private interpretation will not be able to know the truth expressed by those authors who were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the Bible.

It is clear that we are to believe in God and His Holy Spirit and by His revelation He will build his church.[1] It has always been the revelation of God directly upon the hearts and minds of men upon which God intended to build His Holy Church.[2]

Because of the fickle nature of language, words having many meanings, and the errant nature of mankind, it is essential that the reader as well as the writer be inspired by the Holy Spirit in order to accurately understand the authors of the Bible and their original inspiration and meaning.

Since the ultimate goal of God is to have us return to the tree of life rather than eating from the tree of knowledge, there are few Bible versions that could not suit His purpose if we will rely on His Holy Spirit more than our own flesh and blood and vanity and intellect.

I believe there is enough in the Bible to help you understand the gospel.

There is nothing essential that is omitted that should keep you from understanding the Bible.

What is missing is the understanding of the full meaning of the words of the Old Testament, and a willingness to see how we may be wrong about what we think is true. This is the same reason you had Sadducees, Pharisees and Essenes along with lots of other sects and denominations, and why the Pharisees and others could not accept the true teachings of Christ today.

People talk about love and faith and believing in Jesus, but the Pharisees said the same about Moses and Abraham. Yet the Pharisses were still in so much conflict with Christ's doctrines and teachings that they wanted to trap Him, accuse Him, arrest Him and kill Him.

The same conflict arose between Christians and Romans as the gospel of the kingdom spread. What was that conflict?

They just did not want to see the truth because they would have to change their thinking, and also their minds, to do so. They did not want to repent.

Doctrines

The words doctrine and teaching are the same. The Greek verb διδάσκω is just about the only word in the New Testament used to produce the words teach or teachings or doctrines.

Some have said that Jesus did not find error in the doctrines of the Pharisees, but their teachings only.

To suggest there is a difference between the concepts of teachings and doctrines, based on their translations into English words, is absurd and not an example of reasoning but of rationalization.

There is the Greek word παιδεύω or paideuo which appears as teach a few times, but means to chastise. And there is the Greek word σωφρονίζω or sophronizo that appears as a verb and also as an adjective which has to do with bringing one to their senses.

Because of some of our statements about sacrifice and altars, and what the confusion and conflict between Pharisees and Christ was, some accuse us of saying there was no sacrifice. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The Purpose of Sacrifice

No one is saying that, "there was not a sacrifice." There was a sacrifice. And from the beginning there were also stone altars, but most of the time in the early text the talk about stone altars was about living stones, which had a purpose and a mission in society just like the early Church. Those altars of living stone served a purpose that was an alternative to the welfare methods of Cain, Nimrod and the Caesars of the world.

The same word in Hebrew you see translated as "a gathering of stones," is a "gathering of friends," or men you trust.

These words in Hebrew had multiple meanings based on the letters or characters that produced the word.

For instance, killing a dove to make recompense for your sin. The Hebrew word for dove is the same word for a "piece of your estate." But the Pharisees wanted to believe they were to kill a dove, not give up a piece of their estate. You do not need to re-translate the Bible, you just have to understand the language and its metaphors.

The word corban is from the Hebrew word meaning sacrifice, which comes from the idea of drawing near. We have strayed away from the character of God and failed to love one another, which often means sacrifice for one another, particularly a freewill sacrifice. The Pharisees facilitated the straying with their traditions while John, Jesus, Peter and Paul all preached against what the Pharisees were saying and teaching.

The Romans had done the same with their Qorban and that is why there was a conflict between Christians and the Roman government. The Christians were practicing "private religion" and the Romans outlawed private religion. Christians would not sign up for the public religions of the Romans because that would be calling the State their father, their benefactor; and Jesus said we were not to go that way.

Christian Conflict

Modern Christians are doing everyday what early Christians would never do. They do this because of the doctrines, teachings and opinions of modern Christians and Jews, which, by the way are in conflict with the teachings of Christ.

If you read our article on corban you may see that your nation's modern Corban (also known as social welfare, or social security) is identical to that of the Pharisees, and therefore in conflict with Christ and His teachings or doctrines. You would have to be willing to see the truth and willing to repent. If not, you will rationalize that there must be no evidence.

There is a world of evidence that modern Christians are under a strong delusion, and that their faith is false, and that even though they profess Christ and do great signs and wonders, they are actually workers of iniquity.[3]

But that is good news because, if they will have eyes to see and ears to hear, they still have time to repent and seek the kingdom of God at hand.

But, alas, many are more in love with their personal doctrines, teachings and opinions than they are in love with the Truth, the Way and the Light or the practice of the weightier matters of the law.

There was a conflict between being a Christian and following Christ, and what the governments of the world had become.

We call it the Christian conflict.

It is only the people who like eating of the tree of knowledge that want to believe the Bible is perfectly translated, or that they can figure out the meaning of it by personal study of the text.

Doing such is vanity.

Only the Spirit can reveal the truth, and He will only write upon hearts humble enough to receive that truth. No thing or book can reveal the Spirit, and no mind can know God by its own efforts. Christ builds His Church upon revelation.[4]

Some Questions

God gives us the perfect way to know Him. Hebrews 10:16 "This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;" This is just a continuation and repeat of Jeremiah 31:33 "But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people."

We cannot find our way back to the tree of life merely by eating of the tree of knowledge. Our intellect will not save us. God reveals Himself to those who will hear and follow Him.

The law is not done away with but the Pharisees misunderstood the law. Moses and Christ were in agreement, but the Pharisees did not know him nor God nor Christ. I speak in general terms here, because of course some Pharisees repented, like Paul.

Repenting means changing our minds and we cannot do that without God's Holy Spirit. What I write is not written to convince you of the truth, but to show you that false prophets and certain men crept in unawares so that we might become deceived by believing in lies and falsehoods.

The law is not done away with, but Christ taught a different understanding of it. If we know more about the history and events of the time, we might see that many today are doing what the Pharisees did, when we are wrongly applying teachings from the old and new testament. Certainly not the whole text, but a clever lie includes a lot of truth. That is what we have today, a lot of people who study the bible and miss some essential elements of the gospel, and therefore fail to apply them in faith.

I studied Latin and Greek back in the early 60's, and I learned the opinions of scholars and sought to believe them. But I also wanted to know the truth and sensed something was not right. When I was willing to admit I could not figure out what was wrong, then God began to help me see.

The deal is I must freely share with others; fast and pray. I am not here to prove anyone wrong or myself right. I am here to share, and bear witness.

The law says we should not covet, and Peter says through covetousness we would be made merchandise[5], and Paul quotes David who says what should have been for our welfare has become a snare[6], and Jesus tells us to pray to our Father in heaven[7] and call no man on earth Father[8], and of course not to be like the rulers of the other nations who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority.[9]

We will not get the right answers until we admit we need the Holy Spirit to help us ask the right questions.
