Hello my friend. I'm glad that you've taken the time to comment. I like your comment about making "an industry" of God's word. It's only when we take His word in simple trusting faith, that we can truly realize the blessings that it beings. Just like the word itself says, "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but unto us which are being saved, it is the power of God." 1 Cor 1:18. Thank you and may God bless you.

Thanks for sharing your insights with many challenges to think about.
Unless we take the bible as what it says it to be ie. the very word that comes from the mouth of God, anything less makes a mockery of the faculty of faith as humans are created to have and live by. To listen to an opinion about the word of God rather than the word of God itself about the word of God has too many permutations for discussion. It makes an industry of the word of God rather than make joyful life.
It’s very easy to go into talking about God and his word than to live by faith of what He said.
I have concluded that the word of God is 100% inspired and 100% word of God.

HI Paul, thanks for your comments. I do want everyone to at least think! Think about what the bible means to each one of us. It's a fact that people of the world in general don't think ENOUGH about the bible. But here's the toughest decision for us that we'll ever have to make.. If we believe for a second that we actually do have a soul, and that our soul will continue on after our physical body dies, then we've got to decide what we're going to do about that soul! NO one can make an intelligent decision about the bible, unless they know what it says. Therefore, if we're going to make an intelligent decision about our soul, or even if we're going to make an intelligent decision about whether we even have a soul, then we must know what the bible says, so that we can MAKE that decision. No one wants to be told that they're acting without any intelligence. But, if we are satisfied to remain willingly ignorant, then that's not intelligent at all!

Thanks again for your comments, and I hope that you will return here and read more, and that you will even invite others to do the same. May God bless you.

Good Day Jim , and thanks for this wonderful thought-provoking blog .

All men of Learning , know that the Bible is the greatest book available to Man .

I like the way that you show both sides of the story … and even a third side !

This is very well written and offers many quotations to show proof of its validity .
