No doubt about it.....This is for anyone who doubts that the Bible is inspired truly by God. The following is going from Genesis to Revelation with all the verses that contain the word Love. Then they were written down in order from Genesis to Revelation and this is what is below. Now notice 2 things....#1 It is like a story from God to us.....#2 Notice the flow in which this happens...
Thank you God for all your Mighty Works To The World from God with Love: Love The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. He will love you and bless you. O’ Lord, God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and obey his commands. The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor him for he is your Lord. Have mercy on me, oh God, according to your unfailing love, according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your unfaithfulness reaches to the skies. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me. For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave. When I said my foot was slipping, your love, O Lord, supported me. When anxiety, was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul. Who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion? The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger abounding in love. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him. I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love. Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken, nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you. I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drown you with loving kindness. Because of he Lord’s great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save, He will take great delight in you; he will quiet you with his love; he will rejoice over you with singing. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight, in love. But because of his great love for us, God who is rich in mercy made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgression- it is by grace you have been saved. So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, and I pray that you; being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance. How great is the love the father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! |

...and to add to your faith...love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, kindness, goodness...
For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever would believe on Him would not perish but have everlasting life. God has inscribed us in the palm of His hand. This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel says, "In repentance & rest is your salvation, In queitness & trust is your strength, but you would have none of it. Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; He rises to show you compassion. for the Lord is a God of justice. blessed are all those who wait for Him. Come unto Me all you who are weary & heavy laden & I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you & learn of Me; for I am meek & lowly in heart: & you shall find rest for your soul. for MY yoke is easy & My burden light. Blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, & relies on the Lord, & whose hope & confidence the Lord is. He shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; & it shall not see & fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious & full of care in the year of drought nor shall it cease from bearing fruit. So.... Roll your works upon the Lord (commit & trust them wholly to Him; he will cause your thoughts to become agreeable with His will) & so shall your plans be established & succeed. |

I still don´t really trust it...who can tell me for sure that the Bible is a God-inspried book???
so many people have handled it throughout the centuries, especially the Catholic Church, maybe the first holder of the Scriptures. Many Popes have s elected the writing for their own purposes, in order to influence people all around and make them do whatever they wanted. And to make a long story short, it is not an unabridged work. It is full of gaps and the answer for many obscure things are due to anyone to guess what it really is. That´s why we have so many divisions and derivation of the same teaching method. Priests, Pastors...whoever leaders changed the views and meanings of what´s written there didn´t really fully understand it for sure. What to say about the Dead Sea Scrolls?...why weren´t they accapted as part of the Bible since most of its writings are continuations of some books inserted in the Bible like, John, Mark, Luke and some others. I think the Bible isn´t still trustworthy at all... |

I think the Bible isn´t still trustworthy at all... It has been re-written but the context of it has not changed. I will post something here that will back up what I am saying when I get home today. And it's a total cop out in my opinion to just say they did this and that for their purpose. When even the catholics used only certain books and this is true. But they did so with the ones that they felt were true to God. There were alot of writings and good or bad they had to choose and even then I think that they were inspired by God in their choosing. Now for the ones that took the Bible and rewrote it to fit their needs I will totally agree...Mormon, Christian Science, Scientology etc. Who say's the Dead Sea Scrolls are not accepted......they sure are. The Dead Sea Scrolls were not found until way way later. I think a lil more examination on your part would be warranted. I have studied both Hebrew, Greek, as well as many many religions before I cam to the conclusion that the Bible is the inspired work of God. I don't think he would otherwise let it be around as long as it has if it were just "written by man" no sir re. And look at just this piece that was done....How truly amazing that different text by different writers and many different times and put it together and it makes perfect sense.....I want to do this with other key words and see...for example satan, sin, etc. |

Well, what proves whatsoever anyone has of God existance other than what some scholars have imagined of even stated as being facts? no one can really assure that all of these writings are trully God´s work or words. People guess it!! or simply believe it is true! I wouldn´t really take it for granted. It´d take too much to make it clearer and more acceptable. We need fatcs, concrete actions of God´s power. Something within anyone´s touch. Not simply an imagination that he worked miraculously thousands of years ago. Why isn´t it possible to see his works or even hear His thunder-like voice anymore?" Wasn´t Him who talked to Moses on the top of that mountain and lit his face with his glory while the Israeli army defeated the animy?...that was an era when the world was collapsing with wars and uncertanties, no one would ever imagine how for we (humans) would get. Now our planet experiences the most obscure time of its existance and where´s God to liberate us from evil, to highlight some prophet to lead us to salvation? You could even say that, through His son (Jesus), is the answer for all my questioning. And that´s exactly the point where I fear the Bible is not as trustful as it is supposed to be. So many unclear promises of a second coming of this so called Messiah that have been promised ages ago that his coming would be SOON...well how soon??, it´s been a bit more than two thousand years now!! is that a game so we have to be prepared at anytime for the salvation? Well, in my humble opinion I think that the Biblical writings were written specically for the people at that specific time so poeple wouldn´t fear oppression and could spread the joy to other to relieve suffering from a so troubled and darkened era. It is not meant for the present days. |

A day to the Lord is as a thousand years to man, that would make the 2000 years you speak of only two days to the Lord.
Considering that the Earth itself is millions of years old, Soon could still be quite a spell. But no one knows, Christ,the Angels in Heaven nor man can know for sure. |

It is not meant for the present days. Well I guess you can look at this a few ways...sure you can look that the Bible was written by man and not god inspired...But honestly do you think God would let a book be around for 2000 + years that was not inspired of him...I think not. Now for me, myself and I. If the Lord leads me to scripture for any given situation....what other proof do I need. Now again "you" could say this is just poppy ****...but for me it is not. God leads me to scripture and 99.9% of the time it is exactly what I need for that given moment.....Especially on religion threads or other sites that I have done ministry work on. Also sweets, if one has concerete actions of God's power of his infinite wisdom and his powers in thier life....then what......You could still say booshaw.......but for me...God shows me in and every day....through His word, through situations and through the oh my goodness miracles that he has shown me...I would not nor could not deny him ever. I see his work on a daily basis....I can't help that people's don't listen, don't open their eyes to see the miracles and the daily lives he touches. If you think God only worked and touched people thousands of years ago...you my friend need to get with the times....He is so all over the planet that it is entirely out of my realm of thinking that more people are not falling on their knees and worshiping him. I think you need to read about Moses a lil better.....and yes the Lord God spoke to Moses and gave Moses the commandments to take to the israelites who were down off the mountain worshipping false gods....(a cow) I honestly think that people who contradict or don't know the word of God should be those seeking the most. The answers even for today are all their....Even all that Christ has not yet come to pass...all of it right their for the asking. And mark my words...The Lord Christ Almighty will be back....and all that are here will know exactly who he is and bow to him as the Lord and savior.....But again free will......will make some turn away and not choose wisely. There are no unclear answers in the Bible....only closed ears, eyes, and most importantly hearts....not seeing what is there. For myself I don't fear the coming of the Lord I say bring it on....For I know the relationship I have with the Father....and so for me.......I am excited. But I also know the Lord has a lot of work for me to do. And I do it with a glad heart and walking that very narrow path that he has set me on. And just like with the Lord I can only bring his good news...I can't force and would not force anyone to believe it. Nor do I shove down anyone throat and say believe or perish in hell....no that is not right for anyone to do...I am but a servant and I serve..... I will tell you something...Because all the prophecies have to be fulfilled before Christ will return....they have no all been fulfilled so to say that the Bible doesn't apply to this time is just crazy talk...no offense.....I can take scripture after scripture and apply it to now.....I have and I do daily. And I can prove that it is for now in the present...in 2008 can you prove that it is not? |

Well my dear, I don´t want to create any kind of animosity atmosphere with you just because we´ve discussing this matter and I don´t want to get into the marit of this subject in a way that could change your point of view. I just wanna make clear that I am only and simply showing my point of view as well without interfering on yours or anyone´s beliefs. Continuing, I know a bit about Moses too. I´ve read the Bible sometimes for study purposes as well as some other sacred scriptures pertaining to some other religions. These "so called" Holy Scriptures by some unknown authors who clame to have had a number of God-led directions and guidance seem to me to be some sort of human delirium. The fact that the Bible or any other scrolls are called God´s Words or any other divinity´s words are simply an imposing situation by those who believe in it and owns the "authority" to state such things like, Popes, Priests, Pastors, Bishops or whatever. Back in the 14th - 15th centuries people were totally illiterate and controlled by those who owned the ability to read Latin, Greek or even Hebrew. The most extraordinary point is the fact that Martin Luther could translate into German languages that he barely or didn´t even know how to speak. Nowadays it is nown that most of the sense in translation, mainly from the Greek language, is not so trustful to the original meanings of the writings and that is totally compromising for the integrity and understanding of such Holy Scriptures. For those who want to see whatever come to their minds as a fact by reading the Bible, I cannot argue. Faith is an unbeatable ideological situation which I cannot ponder against. |

Good morning Jair..... no worries about changing my point of view....He spoke I listened....pretty simple in the whole scheme of life. Now of course your entitled to believe as you wish. But again for me, myself and I.....know before speaking or writing. I have studied in all the languages the bible...Both Greek, Hebrew, Latin and Aramaic. The meanings are the same and the subtle differences are just that so subtle that it does in no way change the scriptures. Now again I say God inspired all that was written. There are just to many amazing points in the Bible that it could in no way be just of man...again jmo. For example take this thread....and what was done with the word Love....now not saying that mere mortal men could not of taken the word love and when it's taken from Genesis to Revelation make sense like a mini book within the book....But this is also something I would totally attribute to God. Especially when you look at the writings and when they were done and the time frames in whih they were done...It boggles my brain...and makes me just Love Him all the more..... |

I just don´t understand God´s purpose to creat a world with sin. If He´s a so generous and loving and caring and all-knowing being, why in this world would He have this idea of choosing a planet out of Billions in the whole universe only for a, let´s call it "lab test". "Let´s see what comes out of this project", He might have thought. Let´s put some creatures in this environment with all the capable conditions so they can arrange themselves and develop and socialize themselves. Ahh...let´s not forget that they have to worship me so I can be glorified and exalted among all things. Let´s call this species man* and these other ones animal.
*note that He made man from the earth and blew in his nostrils and gave him life...fabulous!! not to say that He took a chunk from man´s ribs to make woman. Well, It is necessary a lot of faith to start believing in that! |

God didn't create the sin.....Adam and Eve who did the only thing that God said not to do and that was eat from the tree of knowledge.....Was where sin was born. So then you have to say to yourself, "self, God is perfect. Which leaves man....not so perfect. And why not for God to choose this planet how truly blessed and lucky are we. And I think you miss the whole creation part.....I would suggest a brush up of Genesis....And as far as creation.....l find it much more believable the the speck of dust that fell into the ocean that turned into a tadpole, frog, climbed out turned into a money a great ape then us.....hmmmmm I think no. I would look at the big bang theory as God said and bang it was. I guess I am blessed with an abundance of faith... |

Well, if He´s a being having complete, unlimited knowledge, awareness, understanding and is able of perceiving all things, why couldn´t He see it coming??...supposing He´s omniscient, He knew man would be contaminated by the sin and that sin would be a fact. Unless He wanted it to happen. But why?? He´s almighty, why in the neck of the woods would he need to start all this hastle?? why not to make things easier?? And why not for God to choose this planet how truly blessed and lucky are we. And I think you miss the whole creation part.....I would suggest a brush up of Genesis....And as far as creation.....l find it much more believable the the speck of dust that fell into the ocean that turned into a tadpole, frog, climbed out turned into a money a great ape then us.....hmmmmm I think no. I would look at the big bang theory as God said and bang it was. I guess I am blessed with an abundance of faith...
Now we´re lucky!!...so that´s what it´s all about!! it means the He didn´t have a plan, He simply didn´t have a purpose!! at the creation point we are even because we haven´t proven yet the fact of the Big bang be the beginning of things neither can any theologist afirm that what´s written in Genesis is a fact or logically explained. And there´s more, if Adam and his wife were the first rational creatures on this planet created clean of evil under God´s protection could be contaminated by mean thoughts and decided to choose eating whatever fruit was prohibited and there was sin. Or even after murdering his brother, Adam and Eve´s firstborns, Cain left that part of the land and fled obeying God´s commandment. Fled where?? the Bible says he arrived at a city...wait...city??...what city??...wasn´t him and his brother, Adam and Eve the only rational beings on earth?? who built this city??...how long is it necessary for a village or even a small community to become a city!?..hundreds of people are necessary, I mean. Well, that, amog other things, doesn´t make any sense to me! |
