Scriptural Passage Bible

334 Words2 Pages
A general consensus among believers is that the Bible is the inspired word of God, and it is the final authority in their life, yet they differ in matters of faith and practice. Why? The differences lie in their interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. This is the reason for the many denominations and abominations within Christendom. Every denomination believes that theirs is the correct interpretation of the Scriptures. It was never God’s intention that we all read the same Bible and come away with different ideas of His word. The Bible is not a piece of abstract art where everyone weighs in his/her opinion as to what the painter was trying to convey. God’s word is absolute truth and every Scriptural passage has only one intended meaning,

When talking about the bible it is not important to reach the conclusion on the conversation it is important to start the conversation. Interpretation of the bible needs to be an open mind. Some people are going to think differently of the bible than you; but you have to keep an open mind because there is no right or wrong answer. You also have to forget what everyone else is telling you about the bible to be able to have your view and interpret what you think of it with the opinion of other people. The bible does not only have one view and as Brueggemann states, “The Bible requires human interpretation which is inescapably subjective.”

I enjoyed very much all the good points mentioned in your discussion board regarding the Bible. I do believe that, it is important to learn the history, meaning and behind God’s plan for the Bible in our regular day lives. In the meantime, I would like to highlight the fact that, nevertheless, the Bible is all God’s Word, but, it is also good, in order to better appreciate, that Christians study other scriptures such as Old and New Testament, Gospel, the Psalms, Proverbs, Wisdom, and so forth. There are differences about the scriptures, for example, the Bible describes God’s word to us, whereas the psalms, are prayers written to God as poetry is set to music. As stated in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable

The New Testament highlights several Scripture reading concerning false practicing and beliefs in certain religions such as: (Matt.7:15-16, 24:11, Matt. 24:5; 24; Mark 13:22, 2 Cor.11:4, 2 Cor.11:13-15, Ga.1:8, EVS). These Scriptures are much valued, because God did not want His people deceived theologically and academically concerning His promise for His people. Therefore, the author Ron Rhodes writes, The viewpoint of those who hold to historic, evangelical Christianity, a “cult is any religious movement that claims to be derived from the Bible and/or the Christian faith, and that advocates beliefs that differ so significant with major Christian doctrines that two consequences follow: (1) The movement cannot legitimately be considered a

According to statistics the Holy Bible has been read by more people than any other book in the world. Therefore, the fact that it was often misused is not surprising. The Holy Bible wasn’t written only for people who work in ministry, it was written for every believer, for every follower of Jesus Christ. This should encourage us to approach Scripture with given respect, trying to understand it trough God's intended meaning, rather than by enforcing our own will on it to make it fit our beliefs.

What I found to be amazing was the diversity of beliefs among persons claiming to follow the same deity. If you place the Holy Bible on a table and invite members of the abovementioned denominations to discuss various issues, you will never attain full concordance. So if this is the 'Word of God', why is it not straightforward, but open to so many different interpretations, resulting in division, acrimony, bigotry, a sense of entitlement, intolerance, human-rights abuses and even war?

The Bible answers the ultimate mystery of the universe, a purpose for living, and reconciliation of humanity with their creator.

The Old Testament is the founding document which consists of the history, origin, and civilization of Gods people Israel. It has been and continues to be a sacred scripture for both Jews and Christians and plays an increasingly influential role on their beliefs, practices, art and literature. The Jews consider the Tanak to be the Bible, also referred to as the Hebrew Bible by scholars, while Christians prefer to use the term Old Testament. Jews and Protestants agree on the content of the Tanak and the Old Testament but they arrange that content differently. The Hebrew Bible is not only referred to as the TaNaKh, an acronym made up of the Hebrew letters of words Torah, Nevi’im and Ketuvim that was first assembled and conserved as the divine

In 2 Timothy 3:16 the apostle Paul states: ‘All Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, for rebuking, for correction, for training in uprightness.’ As followers of Jesus Christ it is essential that we hold fast to what this verse teaches. God has designed the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments to teach us truth for what we need to know. The Bible can rightly be called ‘The Manual for the Human Life’. So the Bible teaches what is true.

Although some places of worship have altered it of late, Vacation Bible School (VBS) is usually a week-long camp for kids. Some churches host kids during the day, others only in the evening hours. However, typically, the event lasts around three to five days. VBS is super fun for kids because it combines learning about the Bible with songs, crafts, food and more. VBS is used as a community outreach tool by most churches to encourage additional memberships and serve the surrounding area.
