We have many religions in the world that teach God. If we go to them, we will find thousands of Gods. But they are not Gods. God is the One Spirit, and he created the universe. Can we find the true God in Christianity? The Christian Church in the world was started by the great Roman Emperor Constantine. He commanded people to take water baptism and to believe in the deity of Jesus Christ. The doctrine of the church was also formed by the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD under the emperor. So, the church and its creed, which is the foundation doctrine of our Churches, was brought to us by emperor Constantine and his council, but not by Jesus Christ or by his apostles. And Christians have not joined the church by repentance and by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as their Master to whom they must obey. But Christians are born in Christian families and confirmed by baptism, as Jews are born to Jews and confirmed by circumcision. Christians are not expected to follow the life of Jesus, but they join the church. So, Christianity is also a religion like any other religion. Every religion has its own Gods. But the true God is the One Omnipotent Spirit, who has created the universe and everything that came into existence. But Christians worship the venerated or glorified Man Jesus, who is another Jesus, antichrist, and false Christ. But they call him Jesus Christ and as God. So, their God is the venerated man Jesus, which is a phantom, and they call him Jesus Christ. The man Jesus was crucified and died, and he is no-more. If we journey with the Man Jesus, his body disappeared, his Soul Person went to heaven, entered the Omnipotent Spirit body of God, became Lord, Christ, begotten Son of God, anointed as God the Almighty, and he is here with us in this world as well as he is in the right hand of God the Father in heaven, since he is Omnipresent as God. He meets only those who are looking for him and removes their sins. He is in the Spirit. Christians do not know him. He is the God of the Bible, and he is the true Jesus Christ. But Christians sadly worship the venerated Jesus Christ, who is a phantom and another Jesus.
God raised people from the church to print the bible. But Satan tried his best to kill them, who tried to publish the bible; and many of them were burned alive. Satan used the priesthood of the church to kill people; and they destroyed the bible. Now the same Satan pollutes the bible to hide the truth. Satan raised people to twist the King James version, alter them, remove a few verses, and print many other new versions of bibles. They do it in the pretense of making it easy for people to understand. If you want to study the truth of the bible, use KJV. Other versions are polluted and altered. Example: 16 verses that are in KJV are removed in NIV, because these verses hinder their doctrine; it was done on purpose. The verses are Matthew 17:21, 18:11, 23:14, Mark 7:16, 9:44,46, 11:26, 15:28, Luke 17:36, 23:17, John 5:4, Acts 8:37, 15:34, 24:7, 28:29, & Romans 16:24. Other versions of bibles follow NIV, and Satan is behind them. And thousands of changes are made into other versions to falsify the truth.
We study many things from the bible. God is a Spirit, he is omnipotent, he has created all that came to existence, and he created man in his own image and in his likeness. The Spirit persons of Adam and Eve died when they disobeyed God. God was with holy men like Enoch, Job, and Noah. God made covenants with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the Jews. We study about judges, kings, prophets, and godly men. Since God is omnipotent Spirit, he is everywhere, but we neither see him nor know him. Great men of God are all dead and gone. Then, 'God the word' became a man, and lived in this world for 33 years. But the priesthood of Jews, who were of God, killed him. But God raised him from his death, and the Man Jesus was also gone to heaven. So, there is nobody left to help us to have fellowship with God. But, God inspires holy men to write the word of God, the bible. Jesus says that the words he spoke are spirit and life. Despite many attempts of Satan against publishing the bible, God brought us the bible. The bible is a book. But the truth and the Spirit that contains in the book is the word of God. God also gives us the holy Spirit, and through the holy Spirit, God reveals the word of God to us. But we neither can understand the truth in the word of God, nor receive the life of the Spirit from the bible, by our wisdom and intelligence. We may study the bible and understand many valuable information about God and his works, but the knowledge of them will not give us eternal life. But if we have the holy Spirit in us, then through the Spirit, God will reveal the truth and impart the life that is in the bible. So, we must receive the holy Spirit from God to know how to inherit the kingdom of God in heaven, and to receive eternal life. Those who receive it will become Sons of God and will inherit the kingdom of God. So, the bible and the holy Spirit are important to us, since without them we cannot inherit the kingdom of God in heaven. But we must be aware that Satan tried to stop the bible and now tries to pollute the bible. And so, we must be careful that our bible is not a polluted one. We must have the bible as the calibrating scale to verify the messages of preachers, to see whether they are according to the bible or not. If they are not according to the bible, they are false preachers from Satan. The revealed word of God in the bible, is Spirit, truth, and life, and by them we will inherit God's kingdom.
The bible contains old and new testaments. The old testament blessings are of this world. It has a lot of information about God and his people. It is good to know them. But knowledge will not give us eternal life. In the new testament, Jesus taught about Spiritual things, born of the Spirit, how to become Sons of God and to inherit the kingdom of God as joint heirs with Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ has voided the old testament covenants. But whatever is needed to believers from the old testament for eternal life is brought to the new testament. Yet preachers preach the old covenants and the old blessings to Christians even today, to deceive them and to exploit them. So, if you have eternal life in mind, study the new testament. But if you are in politics, or in administration, or in business, or in government, or in such worldly jobs, the wisdom from the old testament will help you; but it is not for eternal life. Further, it is always better for life in this world to be in a religious society, rather than to live a rebellious life. It will give you peace. For eternal life and to inherit the kingdom of God in heaven, study the new testament, obey the commands of Jesus Christ, and follow the doctrine of the apostles. So, rather than reading the bible from Genesis to Revelation, repeatedly many times, be born of the Spirit, study and obey the commands of Jesus Christ, and follow the life in the doctrine of the apostles. Then, you will be with God in heaven.
God has given us the bible, using many people from different times. "2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: " So, the bible is inspired by God. In "Matthew 11:25 Jesus says, ... I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes." So, God hides the word from the wise and prudent and reveals his word to the innocent people like babes. Jesus says in John 6:63, "the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." So, the bible is not just a written book, but it has the Spirit that will give you eternal life. Jesus tells his disciples in "Matthew 13:10-15,11 ... it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given." So, the bible is revealed only to Spiritual people, but not to famous preachers. But it is sad that we study bible from preachers. "Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." Here, the bible must sanctify and clean us as water cleans the dirt. The bible is not just to memorize and quote, and to present ourselves as a godly people, but it is to live as Jesus tells us to live. Then only Jesus Christ will accept us to be with him. 1 Peter 1:23 says: "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." So, the word of God must abide in us, that is live in us. Then We will become Living Bibles.
So, the Bible is a book. It has Spirit and Life. This Spirit and Life should move into us and live in us. Then We will become Living Bibles.
