Denominations #2

Greetings to everyone reading this and my hope is that I can clear up common misconceptions people have when trying to understand Gods word, and if you do not own a King James version of the Bible, go get one.

Remember, all the different denominations we have today are because of Man interpreting the Bible instead of letting the Bible interpret itself.

Think about it; Peter said the Bible is of no private interpretation. So then there are just a few things you need to understand in order to clear up problem versus in the Bible.
I will describe two things today. One is that many versus are to be read and understood just as they are stated for example: In the Law of Moses it is written, Thou shalt not steal. It doesn't say you can steal if you are poor or needing, it doesn't say if someone is not looking, it simply says do not ever steal, period.
A problem verse that might be hard to understand might be: Thou shalt not kill. I could go on about this verse but I'll keep it short. You have to know the Old testament was written for our learning, so keeping that in mind if you look all through the Old Testament you'll see that living Godly lives meant that you did not murder anyone or rape anyone or commit any other brutal crimes against Man, for if you did, if there were three eyewitnesses, according to the will of God, you would be put to death. Because God does not want people to live in fear.
So, Thou shalt not kill should be understood as Thou shalt not murder, which would then mean that the death penalty according to Gods word is a Godly thing. If you interpret the verse as "to kill" meaning no killing for any reason at all, that means you have privately interpreted the bible instead of letting God tell you exactly what he means.

Until next time, God bless,
