The Bible is all you need

[Israeli Bar Avaddhon]

The glory and honor belong only to Jehovah - Psalm 150: 6

Keeping this in mind, the article that follows is not intended to be a personal celebration or celebration of the blog (Romans 3:23), but make a list of achievements will serve as encouragement to all those who wish to continue to examine the Bible without conditions.

For many people, in fact, examine the Bible is "too hard", "it is just one group of people chosen", you have to have some kind of education or skills, you have to follow "what they write other", you should consult some kind of scholars etc etc .

These ideas clash with scriptures as Proverbs 2: 1-6, Matthew 11:25, 26, John 17: 3; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 and others.

The Bible is a great gift that Jehovah has given to mankind and the only way to appreciate the show is to study hard and respect - Acts 17:11

Our loving Father desires that each of us is received accurate knowledge of truth so that no one is destroyed - Ezekiel 33:11; 1 Timothy 2: 4

Obviously if God deliberately prevented someone to know His Will would be a partial God but we know that is not so - Deuteronome 32: 4; Acts 10:34, 35

One of the fundamental reasons why God could "stop" to understand His Word has to do with the attitude of the person as we saw in Matthew 11:25, 26 (see also Daniel 12:10).

Another reason could be that the time to understand certain details, including certain prophecies, has not yet reached - compare Daniel 9: 2; 12: 9

Perhaps there may also be other reasons, but other than that nowhere in the Bible it is said that to understand His Word is a privilege reserved for a few.

On the contrary, the responsibility to investigate this remarkable book is aimed at all because even the decision will be a personal thing - John 3:19; Romans 14:10; Revelation 20:13

Beginning to overcome the barriers that exist only in our heads, maybe we can approach the study of writing having confidence that Jehovah will help us - James 1: 5

Since Jehovah's Witnesses want to be the Bible to speak and not their own ideas , some may wonder how it is possible to do this.

It is useless to deny that the Bible is a very large book, and that some things are objectively difficult to understand - 2 Peter 3:15, 16

Before seeing the goals achieved, thus, the article will show which method was followed to date to ensure you have really talk about the Bible.

What you will learn will highlight the guidelines of proper research and is not to be understood as something perfect and not customizable.

We therefore invite all those readers who have appreciated at least some of the articles posted so far to assess the ability to break away from some paradigms and start their research autonomously using only the Bible to explain the Bible * (see footnote)

 

The material. What do you need.

The Bible (maybe three or four different translations) and Concordance.

The Concordance is the publication which has been used in all the articles posted so far.

Each aid can be useful but the Concordance is the only truly neutral publication because it "limits" to put the parties together without comment, outside of context and without giving emphasis to one side than the other.

On more than seventy items previously posted were used books Insight three or four times (especially for historical references), we looked for an original Greek word with an explanation of the beauty of two times but every time it writes are compared via the Concordance and these comparisons are born articles.

H with a Bible and a Concordance?

Then you have 90% of the material you need.

So grab a pen and paper and think of a subject, any.

Following real example of how the articles until now have been developed.

Subject: judgment, death and sin (chosen according to the doctrine which provides that death delete sins)

 

The Bible is all you need

 

As seen in the picture, you take the subject and put aside all the scriptures together with their context.

Of course the context is very important and to understand it we must, at times, input entire previous and consecutive chapters.

If only  highlight writing mentioning that particular person would risk to make huge mistakes because, as Christianity has taught us well, even the Bible can do to say just about anything you want - compare Matthew 4: 5-7

In doing so, speaking of judgment, we might see as "the way of Jehovah" means to do righteousness and judgment, as the "breastplate of judgment" did robe of the High Priest and so on.

Writing two or three keywords to all scriptures united by the same person, we have to learn many things on God Almighty even if they have to directly to do with what we were looking for .

Let us not forget what we're looking for and why.

Maybe we can set aside this information and resume them at another time.

It is not excluded that a subject takes us somewhere else but for now we do not lose sight of the goal.

We're trying to figure out if death really gates sin and if so you can not go to trial for the sins committed before he died.

Going forward we will find Matthew chapters 5 to 23 (part highlighted in yellow), and here we begin to find something strange about current understanding.

Matthew 7: 2, for example, says "because with what judgment judge, you will be judged, and the measure with which you measure, it shall be measured to you" and the question that should come to mind is "When? When will we be judged to the extent that we judged? ".

The only way to make this statement of the Lord coincide with the official intention is to deduce that we will all be judged in this way before his death but also with this hypothesis things do not add up.

Meanwhile, Jehovah does not put on trial the people of the first century (as is with us today) and if he did ... what's the point if then death would all be cleansed from sin and start from scratch ?

That 'it s what we have been taught, right?

Continuing towards the next write, we read that "the Day of Judgment it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that city" - Matthew 10:15

Okay, we're told that Jesus used a hyperbole but we chose the Concordance because of its neutrality!

Reading simply the context of Matthew 10, it does not seem that we should read something other than what is written simply.

However we put aside even this writing, along with its context, and we score two or three keywords.

Continuing in this way will come to light many other details.

If the emerging framework goes to "bump" against our understanding, what should we do?

Maybe we should "pretend nothing" thinking that is not our business, that there are people chosen specifically for these things, it is better not find out the "Pandora's box" because what we might discover could be very different from what we have been taught?

This would denote love and loyalty to our religion, not against the Word of God - 2 Samuel 22:26: John 17:17

Collide with something different from what we have been taught reveals that there is more at heart - Matthew 6:21; 22:37

They make an honest examination of conscience those who, rather than questioning their own beliefs, they said they " can not follow the logic of the articles" .

Is this really the problem?

If, as mentioned, the picture that emerges seems to bump into one of our doctrine, then we have to go see what this doctrine is based.

We all agree that the Bible does not contradict itself, is not it?

Always following the same method we get to the crux of the dispute: " For he who has died has been acquitted from [his] sin" - Romans 6: 7

What, then? It is a contradiction?

Just as we have done so far, we look at the context.

If we make the effort to read without preconceptions context we will see how Paul speaks of death compared to sin (verse 2) that we all were baptized in the death of Jesus (verse 3), and said that we were indeed buried with him (verse 4).

There seems honestly literal language?

How many of us have been buried with Christ in baptism?

In addition, "we know that our old self was put to the pole with [him], so that our sinful body might be made inactive" - Romans 6: 6

Has anyone killed us when we are baptized?

It 'clear that Paul is doing a lot easier than it might seem speech.

If we appreciate the solemnity of baptism, we will prove to be dead with reference to sin (ie, not sinning anymore).

In fact, since we are baptized we started to live a new life.

From other scriptures we understand that it is not possible to "sin no more" but relying redemption and continuing to make every earnest effort, we can have a clear conscience before God.

All this talk is not about the dead ones literally but in fact is the example that Paul has to make sense.

But "the wages sin pays is death" ....

What, then? We are once again at the head point?

Absolutely not, because writing mentions the obvious: the sin leads to death.

This means that in order for sin to be paid must remain in that condition - compare James 1:15

Comparing each write in their context is really a complete picture of the matter.

Sin leads to death.

From dead, of course, there is no longer any sin.

If there were no resurrection , no one would answer for their sins.

In the future, however, there will be a resurrection and that the time will respond to it - compares John 5:29

This makes us understand that Jesus was not doing hyperbole when he spoke of Sodom and Gomorrah, the profound reason why we use the term "salary" as if sin is a debt and other interesting details.

And of course, this understanding does not conflict with the doctrine of the ransom because maybe not all have noticed that it is death to take away sin, then it is not the blood of Christ to do so - compares Romans 6:23

And 'death to take away sin, or is the blood of Christ?

Let this simple question.

If it is the blood of Christ to take away sin, those who will take advantage of the ransom will not in court - John 5:24

This topic was covered in the article entitled "Death erases really sins?" at the following link

 

http://attenzioneallaprofezia.blogspot.it/2017/06/la-morte-cancella-davvero-i-peccati.html

 

As we have achieved this goal?

We had to become experts in ancient greek, we consulted hundreds of ancient manuscripts, asked for advice to various scholars, learned something from other religions or have been around the world?

Absolutely not (if we did, we'd be back with more confusion than before).

We have only compared the writings in context.

To understand the Bible, we used the work of better consultation, the most accurate, the most objective, the most accurate : the Bible.

Surely it is challenging but not difficult.

Any of us can compare scripture is not it?

In this way also our wisdom (presumed) passes in the second floor - 2 Corinthians 3: 4-6

What will come of it it will show what the Bible says: It is all we really need.

However the human being, has a strange emotional need to complicate your life.

Really such a simple method can help to reveal the Book of God?

This question can only be answered with facts.

With that the assumptions made at the beginning in mind , let's see what goals have been achieved and why we can be reasonably confident of being on the right track.

Each subject reported below has been treated in older articles.

To "make sure of all things" the reader is invited to look for these items and see if they are in harmony with Scripture.

 

Thanks to Jehovah, we realized that ...

 

1) Babylon the Great is the modern nation of Israel, NOT the world empire of false religion, and this makes logical many things including the fact that it will see only after the Lord's day and ride the UN - compares Revelation 17: 3

 

2) Its destruction precedes Armageddon and not the great tribulation - see Revelation 16:12, 13; 19: 11-16

 

3) The horsemen of the apocalypse of war, famine and deadly plague are led into battle by Jesus Christ (it is his "arrows") and this is in keeping with many judgments of the past where Jehovah has used the pagan nations - see Revelation 6: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and Psalm 45: 1-6

 

4) The first plagues of Revelation indiscriminately affect God's people as the people of the world just as happened during the plagues of Egypt.

 

5) There will be a world war that will bring down the king of the south and this harmonizes both Daniel and the last and only power that we see in Revelation and which so far has been erroneously identified as the Anglo-American empire.

 

6) The Revelation trumpets are sequential, and then is written in chronological order - compare 1 Corinthians 15:51, 52; Revelation 11:11, 12, 15

 

7) The anointed did not start to rise again in 1919 but will start to rise again at the sound of the seventh trumpet, shortly after the killing of two witnesses in sackcloth (future event).

 

8) The war in heaven break out soon after the ringing of the seventh trumpet, and will last about 30 days. These are also the "days shortened for the elect" in the likeness of what happened in the first century.

 

9) At the end of the war Satan will be thrown on the ground and from that moment can only act for 42 months (1260 days), which is a short period of time.

10) These are the 42 months of the great tribulation period.

 

11) At the end of the 1260 days of great tribulation will start Armageddon (with the fall of Babylon the Great), which will last 45 days.

 

12) Before Armageddon God he will lead his people to "Edom" and "Moab" that is, in a free zone where their lives and prepare to cross the Promised Land.

The literal repopulation of Israel (after the destruction that has liberated from Babylon the Great) harmonises the scriptures that say that the people of Israel would be rejected but the nation was inhabited from generation to generation as the nation chosen by God to reside His Name. This situation makes us understand what it refers to writing when he says that the king of the north "will be troubled by news from the east and from the north" because it will come to know that God's people survived his fury and now is reaching promised land in fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

 

13) The War of the Great Day of God Almighty will take place in a relatively small area of the earth but it will be the greatest war in history where they will die the kings of the earth and their armies.

 

14) The Jerusalem Above is the organizational part of God's people and not heavenly organization made up of faithful spirit creatures and loyal men. This explains how it is possible that Satan tries to "drown her" spewing a river of water behind her. This awareness helps us to understand many basic things such as what is the one people of God on earth, because Christ is called "son of man" and the depth of meaning of Genesis 3:15 prophecy.

14 ^a ) The Above Jerusalem, towards the end of satanic system, will be led by members of the great crowd and be nourished by God to the end.

 

15) Armageddon will destroy the wild beast, the false prophet, all those who have the mark of the false prophet, who has opposed true Christians etc.

There will be destroyed all people nor all the nations, apart from the dominant power that will end up in the lake of fire, the other kingdoms will be "removed the domain" but an extension of life will be granted for a time and a season.

This period refers after Armageddon and until the end of the millennium .
This awareness helps us to understand how is it that Satan's bait to mislead "the nations which are in the four corners of the earth" after a thousand years of sinking and to understand who is Gog of Magog and how he can "check" in the middle of the Millennial Kingdom

 

And many other things (the original post had a list of 26 important subjects but the article would become long, boring and certainly confusing for those who come to this post for the first time).

 

Article wanted to highlight a simple concept as it is profound.

The Bible was also written for you.

You can understand it.

If you will have the intellectual honesty to get back fully into question, they will come to understand many things.

Do not be afraid to find things very different from what we have been taught.

Paradoxically, although this process has called into question some doctrines and virtually all the prophecies , has also shown that there is only one people of God on earth and it is this .

According to the prophecies of this people it will be disciplined for this reason.

Know the prophecies will allow us to not be shocked when these things begin to come true.

The prophecy enables us to see beyond the darkness that is going to get even giving us the chance to help others.

The prophecy, among other things, says that at one point "knowledge will become abundant."

We will be among those who have insight and who will enjoy the blessings future?

By our attitude, we decide it even now.
If we continue to appreciate the Word of God above all else humbly asking Him to enlighten us to understand it, we will not be disappointed - Job 36:22; Psalm 119: 99

 

Footnote.

The article is not meant to imply that, following such a method, you can not make mistakes.

Even you do not want to diminish the importance of Hebrew or Ancient greek but today will be provided with many versions of the Bible that nornalmente you need to compare multiple versions to understand what fits best not with our preconceptions but with the context.

The harmony of the Bible, alone, is able to refute all acts speeches to demonstrate unbiblical beliefs.

 

Plaese, visit https://attenzioneallaprofezia.blogspot.it/

 

 

 

 

 

[Guest J.R. Ewing]

When one starts a topic about scripture without conditions and relates many scriptures to reflect that assumption? It fails in understanding that scripture was framed to give “many” conditions, not just out of convenience.

There are only 2 choices for God’s people. That choice is given for each individual to decide who’s on the side of God, and who is not. That’s it!

This has nothing to do with the “leaders” of any church to decide for each one of us. Their responsibility is to guide us so that we may gain that wisdom in understanding, that so many have confused, by their negativity toward their leadership, even though that responsibility of “leadership” can be found within scripture, itself. In essence, God’s words are to “obey” the leadership. If this simplest of a task, cannot be accomplished by mere men and their standards? Then it CANNOT be “freely” given to God himself. That’s where the decision comes in. TO learn from the decisions the ancient people, and what their outcome was. No need to explain it, to those with “spiritual maturity”, but, only to those that have become spiritually “weak” with their human desires.

 

Proverbs 4:23

23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Psalm 26:2

2 Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;

Psalm 51:10

10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Romans 12:2

2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Philippians 4:7

7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 5:8

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Mark 6:52

52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.

Psalm 119:1

1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.

[Israeli Bar Avaddhon]

Those who have "spiritual maturity" are guided by the Bible as it is the only and true authority - Proverbs 2: 1-6

[Guest J.R. Ewing]

You are then nullifying the message of Christ, and that of the apostles. In essence, rendering your outtake of your doctrine, unacceptable to a follower of God through Christ.

1 Corinthians 14:20

Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be infants, but in your thinking, be mature.

Philippians 3:20-21

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.

Ephesians 4:13

until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

Colossians 1:9-10

For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Ephesians 4:13-15

until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ,

Hebrews 5:12-14

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

1 Peter 2:1-3

Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.

[Israeli Bar Avaddhon]

But what a beautiful deep talk! How many scriptures! Unfortunately, however, the Bible teaches that each of us must "make sure of the truth" - 1 Thessalonians 5:21
Jesus says that only the Bible is the truth - John 17:17
The responsibility to know the Bible is of each of us and the Bereans are praised for comparing the scriptures - Acts 17:11
Anyway I understand it's annoying to admit that you're wrong.
All the scriptures you have mentioned do not deny these deep truths.
You have the Bible and I have the Bible. Each of us has to study the Bible and carefully evaluate what it really teaches.
In the end, the speech is very simple.
There are those who love the Word of God above all else and those who pray for their own team - Revelation 3: 9

[Guest J.R. Ewing]

You are correct to suggest, people should understand for themselves, what a “false prophet” has to offer, and freely remove themselves from such a path of destruction. It’s good, how willing you are to lead people into a path of unrighteousness, by your outer lack of bible, understanding.

Hosea 4:6King James Version (KJV)

⁶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Matthew 15:15-18English Standard Version (ESV)

¹⁵ But Peter said to him, “Explain the parable to us.” ¹⁶ And he said, “Are you also still without understanding? ¹⁷ Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled?^[a]18 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person.

Acts 17:10-14English Standard Version (ESV)

Paul and Silas in Berea

¹⁰ The brothers^[a] immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue. ¹¹ Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. ¹² Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek women of high standing as well as men. ¹³ But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Berea also, they came there too, agitating and stirring up the crowds. ¹⁴ Then the brothers immediately sent Paul off on his way to the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained there.

NOW ASK YOURSELF, ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE, WHO IS WRONG!!!!!

The eager one, or the agitator-[ a person who urges others to protest or rebel](yourself)!!!

[Israeli Bar Avaddhon]

it is very easy to apply scriptures to others and never to themselves. Try answering the post's merit. Has the post taught to create other religions or divisions? Instead, he taught what the supreme authority is. The Bible. If someone teaches a doctrine that goes against the Bible, then it is a false doctrine. Did I say that this is not the people of God and so you have to abandon it?
Try to distinguish an unjustified criticism from a biblical teaching. Did I say that the name of God is not Jehovah?
Did I say that Jesus is the part of a Trinity?
Did I teach that there is hell of fire?
Absolutely no.
However, the people of God will be severely disciplined (shortly) because they have not followed the Bible as they should have but have taught as doctrines of men commanded - Joel 1: 5-8
You can not even do a search with the Bible because you have raised some people above the Bible.
If you believe you have not yet understood everything, try to make your reflections - Amos 5: 18-20
Just like the ancient Israelites, most of you have a false sense of security - 1 Peter 4:17
The ancient inhabitants of Judah were too sure of them and had to wake up a good morning.
You have the Bible: try to study it really

[Israeli Bar Avaddhon]

And I recommend: add other exclamation points otherwise it is unclear.
And continue to put negative scores on posts: maybe the majority wins

[Israeli Bar Avaddhon]

Dear AllenSmith,

If you want to push me to say "The Governing Body" then say "Then you are an apostate!" I assure you that this is not the point.
If I follow any person who has authority (true or supposed) above the Bible, then I am an idolater - Matthew 23: 8

If, on the other hand, there is someone who is able to enter the subject without taking a political position, let's see what the article is about to be published.

The article has highlighted the correct (right, right) method of doing a biblical search.

Who has the authority to determine whether a doctrine is correct or wrong?

Only the Bible - Matthew 4: 4, 7; John 17:17

The Son of God, every time he taught or responded to his adversaries, never forgot his own wisdom, but always mentioned the Scriptures - Matthew 15: 3-9

How can we make the Bible, and only the Bible, speak when we need to understand a doctrine or teaching?

We have to search the subject in all the scriptures that speak (and also read the context, obviously).

To do this, Concordance is very useful (as seen in the picture).

By doing this you will find that some doctrines are correct and some are wrong.

Those who really love the Bible will respect the Bible.

Those who love their religion, more than the Bible, will pretend nothing and find all "justifications" to continue in error.

Is the article intended to be a rebellion to religion or to create another religion?

Absolutely not because this is the people of God.

However, although this is the people of God this does not mean that there are both doctrinal and organizational errors.

If we read the warnings to the congregations reported in Revelation, we see that false teachings and bad people can enter into the people of God - Revelation 2: 1, 8, 12, 18; 3: 1, 7, 14 (see also 2 Timothy 2: 20-22)

He who examines the congregations will put things into place (even with severe discipline) so we look forward to him, without creating divisions.

But this does not mean that we do not have to study the Bible personally.

It does not mean that we do not have to understand what the Bible really teaches (though we find that some things taught are wrong) and does not mean that we do not have to act according to knowledge acquired according to conscience.

Studying the Bible is a duty of every Christian.

So, for some who understood the article, the encouragement is to study the Bible with the only truly neutral and accurate help: the Bible itself.

When the discipline comes (and it will come) no one thinks to say "I could not know. I was so taught in this way" because judgment will be individual on each of us.

Each of us has a Bible and has the ability to understand it, asking for help from God.

The reaction that someone has been commenting on this article should make us realize that some of us have become idolatrous.

Someone has put their own religion above the Word of God.

When it is not possible to discuss a doctrine (or anything else) even in the face of biblical evidence, it is evident that some people have been placed above the Word of God - Matthew 15: 6

This is one of the reasons (not the only one) for which God will punish his own people.

Individually, though, each of us can be protected from calamity.

I hope that each of you can evaluate this article carefully and personally ascertain what the will of God is for us.

 

[Israeli Bar Avaddhon]

Dear AllenSmith,

you will surely have noticed that I use the translator (with many errors) because my english is poor.
So if I misunderstand a question or the purpose of a question, you will understand the reason.
Regarding the meaning of the article, I speak of personal experience (and not presumption). I know very well that with many of my brothers, who have many good qualities, you can not talk about doctrines, you can not challenge an "official truth" because otherwise you are automatically a murmur or apostate.
It's not a novelty that we can not recapture a doctrine so we're not talking about science fiction.

Continue to apply the scriptures to whomever you want. It is not my problem. You will not be judging

[Israeli Bar Avaddhon]

I have made an article explaining how to do a biblical search and I did not insult or offend anyone.
You have started to say that I am an apostate, a deceiver, one who wants to put "confusion", a false prophet, deceptive etc. etc.
All right.
This shows how deep your knowledge of the Bible and how deep is your love for God - Matthew 5:11; 12:36, 37;
I'm also used to this and I expect a lot more for the future - John 16: 1, 2

P.S. But was not I the presumptuous? Are not you that you understand everything?

Get used to it, Israeli .... that's what he does .....
