Interpretation of the Bible

In the world we live in today, there are so many different versions of the Bible. There are KJV, NKJV, NIV, TBL, NLT, ESV, and many more. The Bible has been updated to fit our lazy reading. People are beginning to believe the Bible is too hard to read because of all the ye, thou, shalt, thee, etc. These words are not hard to understand, and for some people reading these may honestly confuse them.  Ye=you. Thou=you. Thee=you. Shalt= will, shall, should. To be honest, if you have grown up in the Christian faith, you should understand it without have to modernize it. It seems we care about Shakespeare more than God when we can translate the Bible to fit the way we speak, but we leave the plays and poems of Shakespeare the way they were written. The main reason I dislike new translations of the Bible is because while they change the little ye’s and stuff to you’s they also change one word in verses everywhere to give it a different meaning. John 3:16 is a prime example of this wrongdoing. The worst part is the Bible says NOT to change God’s word at all. Revelation 22:18-19; Galatians 1:9  Whether it be to help us understand it or to make it say what we want to hear, it is a sin to disobey God. I believe that if we love God enough, we don’t need to change His word to fit our needs. We are supposed to change our needs and wants to fit His word. This concept applies throughout the whole Bible.

Living Water

    For this whole week, I have carried my water with me wherever I go, but today I left it in the car.  I didn't realize I didn't have my water with me until I got to 2nd period, and I was mad at myself.  I was thirsty, and I really wanted my water bottle.  Many times throughout the day, I reached down to grab it and it wasn't in my backpack.  I was especially thirsty during lunch when I had nothing to drink.  You're probably reading this thinking I'm dumb for not going to the water fountain to get a drink, that would work right?  WRONG!  Every time I drink from the water fountains, I get a terrible headache, but it makes me nauseous, not in pain.  That may seem like an excuse, but I tell the truth. Everyday last year, I had P.E. first period.  When we were in the middle of an activity, I would go get a drink. I was fine, but every. single. day. I would get a headache towards the end of the school day. I just conn...

Random Wisdom

As I am looking through one of my used journals I took notes in during church services, I am finding wonderful bits of wisdom from the godly men that gave these lessons. A lot of them are from church meetings where the congregations of the church of Christ from NM, CO, TX, OK, AR, and maybe more, came together to be admonished, uplifted, and renewed with the word of our Father. I feel the sincerest need to share these sentences although I know not everybody will agree with them. I have learned, finally, that nothing happens when we want it, but only when and if God plans it. I couldn't convey this all in a tweet or on any other social media, unless I used my blog. After all, this is why I created it, to save you, help you, encourage you. I want to plant a seed that God can use to change you and your heart, soul, and most importantly, your eternity. These accumulate from many lessons, and I hope you look deeper into the verses behind each one. Now some of them may not have verses, a...

Hello world!

Hi! My name shall go unknown as of now. I have many thoughts taking residence in my head daily. I have thoughts I didn't even think I could have… until I start to write. Writing is my passion. I can write a page of words easy. The words flow easily and the meaning fills the paper. Writing is a gift from God. The easiest thing for me to write about is God! I want to share my thoughts with y’all. I want you to be able see what I see. I want to inspire through my writing. I want to show Jesus and God’s love for all through everything I do. And writing is the easiest way for me to do that! I hope you are inspired! not for me, but for God. Praying always, Jesusfreak
