No Matter What Version, I Believe All Bible Stand To Its True Meaning

October 15th 2011 04:49

I just cannot help to notice this thing. I was actively involved in one of the paid to discuss forum sites when someone posts a topic about the real true Bible.

From what I see and read, most people think the English Bible of the King James Version is the only Bible with the true meaning as the original scripture. They have their own point and I think most of the people agree about it. King James Version is known as the first English Bible that was written by translates it direct from the original scripture. The other version of the Bible is believed as the translation from the King James Version into a simpler English or modern English.

I didn’t know how true that is and I also didn’t make any research about this. It is not that I don’t care about the Bible, but does it really matter? For me, the Bible can be in any translation and any language and it still doesn’t matter for me. Why?

Let us ask ourselves. Why we become a Christian? As for me, it is because I believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and Holy Trinity. Like any other Christian, I also like to know what really written at the original scripture. But since it is not available for us to read, I have to make do with reading the translation of the Bible. And even if there is any that is available, I don’t think I can read it as I not understand it if it was in the original language.

Because of my belief in Christ, I believe what I read in the translated Bible does hold the true meaning of the original scripture. I believe, whoever does the Bible translation, he or she was guided by the Holy Spirit. How can we trust the people that teach about the word of God if we cannot even believe the person that was translating the Bible. It is easier to translate the Bible from certain language to another language rather than translating the hidden message in the Bible.

We need to believe that the Holy Spirit have guide the translator of the Bible so the children of God will still get the true meaning of the scripture. We believe the God have spoke to the translator so that the translator can find the meaning of the phrase of word which was written originally. We have to believe, otherwise our faith meant nothing is we doubt that if the Bible translation still hold the true meaning.

Because of this, I believe no matter what version of Bible we read, we all have read the true word of God. Remember, Christian is about faith not proven science or data. The more doubt we had, the weaker we will get. Strengthen our faith and remove all the doubt.

We Shouldn't Fear God

August 22nd 2011 05:32

We always heard people tell us that we must fear God. Anywhere we go, people will tell that they are God fearing people. Even priest also teach us to fear God. There must be something wrong here.

I know during the Old Testament time, God is something people fear a lot. It is even forbidden to speak the God’s name. Because God is so fearsome for people that time, only prophet or the messenger are talking to God. Human that time didn’t directly pray to God, but through the prophet. Prophet has become a barrier between human and God.

When Jesus come to earth, it seems everything have become reverse. Jesus has shown that God is kind and loving. It is during this time Jesus has encourage people to pray to God. Human don’t need to go through to prophet in order to send message to God.

After the arrival of Jesus, we shouldn’t say we afraid of God. Why? Because when we too afraid to God it will make us distance ourselves from God. We live as one with God. By enjoying our life as a Christians and follow all God’s will, being a Christian is an enjoyable journey not a journey of fear.
From now on we should always forget the term ‘ fearing God ‘ but live as one with God.

What Made God Destroys Human

June 27th 2011 05:16

It is more than a month now since the predicted dooms day have pass. 21st May 2011 was the date that has been predicted and now it is already 27th June 2011.

As the dooms day prediction have always not accurate, many have question if there will really be a dooms day or better known as a Judgement Day to us Christians. As for us Christians, we believe it will be coming but nobody knows when. It is also stated that nobody knows the exact date except the Father.

The second coming of Christ will catch us unguarded and how He always told us to always be prepared. In the Revelation of St. John, he wrote how the world will end and the signs of apocalypse.

But before we go further to the end of the Bible, let us see first the beginning of the Bible and its all come from the book of Genesis. Before the arrival of Christ, God is not reluctant to destroys human being.

The first destruction is the Great Flood. Who can forget the great Noah’s Ark story? But why did God want to destroy the world He created? It is written that the God dislikes what He saw on earth. Human are full of evil. Genesis 6:05, And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

This was enough for God to make his decision to destroy the earth and only spares Noah and his family because Noah is a faithful and obedient to God. After the floods, God promise He will not destroys the living creatures again when he saw Noah offerings to Him.

The second destruction God made was on Sodom and Gomorrah. Sodom and Gomorrah are a wicked city not because of the violence but because they do what was forbid, homosexuality. Genesis 19:05, They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Even when Lot offered her two virgin daughters for them, they refuse and insist to have sex with the angel that come to Lot house.

People now are more open to homosexuality and some states even approve gay marriage. Our world now is more and more towards the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah. But as God says before, even if there are 10 people are righteousness, He will not destroys it.

When we see the news all over the world and look at our surrounding, people now are committing the sins that made God destroys the human being. Violence is all over the world now. People kept hurting each other and all people things now is evil. Homosexuality have receive recognition now as they were during Sodom and Gomorrah time.

It won’t be long for the world to be destroys. We see a lot of God angers are shown now. Only time will tell when will the world end. Whether we’re going to live to see it or not, nobody sure. All we can do now is be prepare.

Our Faith In Christ

May 7th 2011 07:40

Christians is all about faith. We didn't have any opportunity to live together with Jesus when he was still alive in earth. But that is what it is all about. We yet to see him and to be with him in person, but yet we still believe in his existence and his teaching.

Even when Jesus was still on earth, not many have believe in Him. Most of them only believe when they was touch or healed by him. Very few believe by just hearing about him

Temptation And Lent

March 9th 2011 16:58

Lent is the time most catholic and apostolic church observes as a time for fasting. It is the mark the event when Jesus was alone in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights and that is how long Lent is. Lent starts from the Ash Wednesday and ended on Good Friday. But what famous most about Lent is the temptation within this period.

I for myself find it is more temptation during Lent. The temptation is greater than any other days. Jesus himself has been put into test during this period. The temptation of Christ has been the outline of most of the temptation we face every day and not just during Lent

The True Meaning Of Christmas

December 7th 2010 22:42

Christmas is near and everybody seems so eager to celebrate it. We can see all the decoration everywhere we go. People are in the festive mood already and some might didn't have full concentration at work. All they can think about is Christmas.

Despite all the buzz here and there, we hardly find an image of Christ. All we can see is the image of Santa Claus and his reindeers, Christmas tree and its decoration and snowman. But is it the true meaning of Christmas

Your Religion Is Nothing

October 13th 2010 03:50

I’ve read some interesting discussion from my lot today. The author known as blessing2u post a discussion title “Your Religion Is Nothing”. At first sight when I see the title, I taught it was some people from other religion try to make an issue and looking for a debate from a Christian community. But to my surprise it was from a fellow Christians about his experiences he once had.

He wrote this. “Two years ago as I was sitting down in my beloved chair just outside my house, somebody, a good looking man came and talked to me about the Bible. When I told him that I have a religion, he smiled and told me with a soft voice, "Sir, your religion is nothing!" I was stunned. For over twenty years, I had been in that religion and it's the first time that I encountered such. He started to tell me about the Love of God and how He died to pay for the penalty of my sin. He told me it's not about religion that he came for, but for me to know how God loved me. The conversation continued until I understood what he meant. I trusted Christ in my heart to be my Saviour. My religion is really nothing when we talk about salvation. What's your opinion on this?” The link is to this post Really Long Link

Bye Bye Jesus, See You When I Need You Again

October 10th 2010 12:43

As usual whenever I had my day off on Sunday I will go to church with my wife and son. Today reading from the Gospel are quite interesting. It was taken from Luke 17:11-19. It was about the Ten Healed of Leprosy.

11Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a]met him. They stood at a distance 13and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!" 14When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed. 15One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. 17Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" 19Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well
