Q & A

This introduction is from the study "Reading the Bible".

I have seen many people throw scriptures around, non Christians, and even Christians, people who throw scriptures into the laps of others as if they belong there, because sometimes it says "you" or "now", but many times a certain scripture does not belong in the lap of just anyone anywhere at any time. It must be considered carefully. It must be taken to heart. When reading Jesus' words in the Bible, try thinking of Jesus, not you, not your local neighborhood sinner. Try seeing Jesus walking around Jerusalem in the first century, talking to people, not sitting down writing a book.

Some things do apply to all mankind for all time, like John 3:16 for example. It is called #1 for a good reason. Angels hold that one high all over the world. Some things do not apply to all mankind for all time. The blessed and Holy Bible tells us God is real, God has interacted with us, and the message of the promised Messiah, Christ the Lord. It is priceless. Some things are not to be thrown around at just anyone anywhere at any time.

One should always ask, Who was being addressed? When? Why?

When one does, one will realize that the first century saints Jesus walked among and spoke to are those he was talking to. They were all persecuted, brought before kings, thrown in jails, beaten, murdered, hated, forsaken, and scattered. They were also given a mouth of great wisdom that pierced their offender to the very bone, as the Christian child grew and grew strong, not by might or power, but by the spirit of the Lord. Not one hair on their head perished in the grave before they were also given a seat of great honor in heaven. They died and came to life and have become as priests of God and Christ, and have reigned with Christ for a thousand years, in heaven.

One must keep in mind when reading the New Testament that all the Apostles were killed before the harlot was cleansed by the year 70, except for John who remained, as were many of their fellow first century saints, and all the writers of the New Testament, murdered for the gospel sake before 70 AD.
