Bible Study,Memorization, Meditation


BIBLICAL EDUCATION

In this world that is ever darkened,we will need to revive and strengthen our Biblical knowledge of God's truth, Justice and his Charity.


And not the world's lies, advantages and blatant cruelty.

In that we learn to be peaceable with one another.

There are schools that teaches good manners, right conduct and all its values education.

But no teaching of men can best the Bible in teaching humility and being at peace within you.

THE WORD IN HEBREW

SCHOOL TEXTBOOK

In a grade 4 classroom, teacher ask his pupils to bring out their textbook

Pup(il)1:Grade 4 textbook this year
Pup2:Grade 4 textbook last year
Pup3:Grade 5 textbook this year

Which do you think has the right textbook

During my college years, I flunked my trigonometry. So I needed to go to summer class

When I was there, we were taught by the author of the textbook(that same book that flunked me), and at the end of that class I got a passing grade(I'm not an enginer,what do I care about trigo these days)


The value story of the moral(I mean the story of moral of the value)is that I don't like trigonometry, and I can count without that subject in my life.There! Satisfied  I know I am


GOD'S VERSION

The main point here is that when the

author of the book is your teacher, you will understand it more clearly.

The Bible is God's word, it should not be

translated into many versions (well,you can have different languages, commentaries, dictionaries for it because these are foreign words we are dealing with,it's called human studies)but few as much as possible.

But let the author himself teach you his word(book)

How can you meditate on the Bible when the only thing you know is the bible versions and not His Word

How can you memorize the scriptures if what his using is not the Word of God, and different from yours. Unless the God whom he is worshipping is different from yours,seeing he has to remember a different Word(and your in the same church)

Matthew 4:4 King James Version (KJV)

4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

By= indicates cause/action(eat it)


Matthew 4:4 American Standard Version (ASV)

4 But he answered and said, It is written, [a]Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

(Try Jeremiah23:23)


Matthew4:4 Modern Language Bible

Man shall not live on bread alone but on every command that proceeds from the mouth of God


On= as means of functioning

Every command= not the same as word(declaration)
,not every thing in the Bible is about commands.There are Genealogy, History and Poetry to name a few.

Matthew 4:4 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

4 But he answering said, `It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.'

Upon= means the same as "on" but is more formal

Coming Forth= long,many letters

Proceedeth= one word, direct language, indicates action.

The Bible alway shortens its word to give direct messages

Examine these verses from different versions. They may look the same but not really

Job 37:19 King James Version (KJV)

19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

Titus 2:8 King James Version (KJV)

8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

2 Corinthians 3:12 King James Version (KJV)

12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

Proverbs 8:8-9 King James Version (KJV)

8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.

9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

A BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND EXPLANATION

THE SON HONORS THE FATHER

John 5:20-40

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you*, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you*, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of mine own self do nothing*: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish*, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

And

Omnipotent= all powerful, Can do anything

Omniscient= all knowing, knowing past, present,  future

Knowing

The child in the womb  will go to hell or not

One of his angels will become the devil and make people disobedient to God

And prepared for it

Babylonian Talmud


Omnipresent= Every where present

Both in heaven and hell

VERSUS

THE GOD OF ISRAEL

The Main Attributes of God excluding self exsistence are

HOLLINESS(Truth,Righteousness, Justice)

OMNIPOTENT(Creator)

ETERNAL(Everlasting)

Both applied to the Father and The Son

On the other hand the Spirit are described as both Eternal and Holy. Unless you want IT to be both Unholy and transient(short in duration)

The Bible indentifies God's

Holiness

Father

John 17:11 King James Version (KJV)


11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are

The Son

Isaiah 9:6 King James Version (KJV)

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace




The Spirit however is separate from God

Genesis 1:2 King James Version (KJV)

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.


This is in accordance with

16 Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.


Psalm 139:7-12 King James Version (KJV)

7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee



And is sent by God

Father

The Son

5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Intercession for us


Mark 13:9-11 King James Version (KJV)

9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

Matthew 10:17-20 King James Version

Luke 21:14-15 King James Version (KJV)

15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

THE LIE=HOLY SPIRIT PRAYER

                              **************

God is not Omniscient, Omnipresent

1 Corinthians 4:6-7 King James Version (KJV)

6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

Beginning Again 5

IMPERSONAL-Not personal, not representing a person, not having personality.

Lacking warmth or emotion, cold

PERSONAL
- Adjective, Pertaining to a particular person, relating to, or affecting , an individual, or each of many individuals; peculiar or proper to private concerns; not public or genenal.

So is God  Impersonal  or  Personal?

KJV  Psalms 32

1(A Psalm of David, Maschil.) Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

7Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

It is the Lord God that guides and teaches us his way and not ourselves, because we do not know the righteous way.


God shall have an effect on everyone, and everybody shall be affected by God, and rule of God.


Or it will depend on you!  He might say Thou shalt not kill or steal, and you thlnk it is for Israel, and start killing and stealing and say to yourself"Am no Israeli/Jewish".


So from this day "IT'S PERSONAL!!" We just like you to know (coz sometimes they need be told literally)

Beginning Again 4:Bible Versions

There are so many Bible versions being made in the world.The question is do we need all of them? Certainly there will be some discoveries in the language (Hebrew,Greek etc.)or archaeology etc.And of course, many will produce those easy to read and understand Bibles.

The problem with that is you will lose
 faith in the one that can explain his word much better,,and understand it correctly. Who? God. Also you can always ask Him for those teachings you don't understand


Genesis 40:8 King James Version (KJV)

8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you


Matthew 7:7-8 King James Version (KJV)

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

God sends his Spirit unto us so when we need to understand his word,we shall understand it correctly

Luke 11:13 King James Version (KJV)

13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

1Corinthians 2:10-13

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

I Not The Lord...The Lord not I

1 Corinthians 7:10,12

Yet not I but the Lord

“But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: 

Relying and shifting from one version to another would only mean that you are looking for those words, phrases,sentences or passages that cooperate, cling to your own ideas(Controlled Word)

Who then interprets for you , the translators or God.

If there is one Spirit

Ephesians 4:4-5 King James Version (KJV)

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism

How many then is the interpretation

Whether in Pretence or in Truth


Philippians 1:18

“What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.”

I wonder if anybody or anyone is doing this still now? On the other hand , A god/s a far off is when you want some of the god/s blessings, you must go to a specific place to sacrifice and pray there………….. Do you know any place?
