About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"MORE ON UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
YESTERDAY I WROTE ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE AND IT WAS PRIMARILY FOR NON BELIEVERS. AND DIDN'T QUITE SAY ALL THAT I WANTED TO SAY ABOUT IT SO I WILL CONTINUE HERE. HOW CAN A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN SAY THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE AND THAT THEY DON'T BELIEVE THE ENTIRE BIBLE IS TRUE. THEY SAY IT WAS WRITTEN BY MAN. I REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. 2ND TIMOTHY 3:16-17 TELLS US THAT "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF THE VERSES THEY DON'T BELIEVE. IF THIS IS THE CASE, I SERIOUSLY WONDER IF THEY ARE TRULY BORN AGAIN. I CAN SEE THIS FOR NON-BELIEVERS BECAUSE JESUS TELLS US THAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND. WHEN HIS DISCIPLES ASK HIM WHY HE TAUGHT SO MUCH IN PARABLES HE TOLD THEM IN MATTHEW 13:13 THAT "Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."
IF THESE PEOPLE CAN BELIEVE ALL THAT IS WRITTEN IN OUR HISTORY BOOKS, WHY CAN'T THEY BELIEVE THE BIBLE. OUR HISTORY BOOKS WERE WRITTEN BY MANY PEOPLE AND WE BELIEVE THEM. WELL, THE BIBLE IS A COLLECTION OF HISTORY BOOKS OF THE WORLD FROM THE BEGINNING. IT WAS WRITTEN BY MANY PEOPLE AND THESE PEOPLE WERE INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE WONDERFUL THING ABOUT THE BIBLE IS THAT IT GIVE A TIMELINE ON THE HISTORY WITH NAMES AND AGES, ALL THE WAY FROM ADAMS TO JESUS. EVEN IF THE NON-BELIEVERS CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE MYSTERIES OF THE BIBLE, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO FOLLOW A TIMELINE THAT IS SO SPECIFIC.
THERE IS ALSO A TIMELINE FROM JESUS UNTIL TODAY. BOOKS WERE FOUND THAT WERE WRITTEN BY HISTORIANS LIKE JOSEPHUS. IN HIS WRITINGS, HE MENTIONS JESUS, JAMES, JESUS' BROTHER, JOHN THE BAPTIST AND OTHERS. IT IS VERY INTERESTING READING AND YOU CAN GOOGLE IT AND READ ALL ABOUT HIM AND HIS HISTORICAL WRITINGS.
I CAN TELL ALL THESE NON-BELIEVERS OF THE BIBLE ONE THING THAT CANNOT BE SAID OF THEIR RELIGION OR ANY OTHER. CHRISTIANITY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS A GOD THAT DIED, WAS BURIED AND WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD. OUR GOD LIVES TODAY AND WILL SHOW HIMSELF STRONG TO ANYONE WHO WILL RECEIVE HIM AS THEIR SAVIOR. LET'S SEE IF ANY OTHER RELIGION CAN SAY THAT.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
