I liked this article!

People always come out of the woodwork saying that the Bible is a story and not a history. They continue to try and poke holes in it and use "logic" to prove it wrong. The funny thing is there is a very large and serious branch of study by "credible" scientists, lawyers, etc.... that set out to prove the Bible wrong and ended up proving to themselves that Jesus truly was and is the Christ. There's a reason the Bible has endured for thousands of years and is the best selling book of all time: it is God's Word to man. They continue to find historical and archeological digs that prove Old Testament peoples once thought a "myth" actually existed in places they never thought possible. If people study the Bible under the premise it is true, there is no end to the joy, peace, and discovery they will encounter on their journey of learning. If you study it believing it false or just a good story, you "deceive yourself and the truth is not in you". In my opinion, if you truly study the Bible and actively try to discern it's truths, the Holy Spirit will break down your walls and you will come to His truth.

As always, another great "day", papa.....thank you!

Thank you! excellent post!

You're welcome!

Let me state now that the Bible is not reference at all to any persons whoever existed or to any event that ever occurred upon Earth.

The ancient story-tellers were not writing history, but an allegorical picture of lesson of certain basic principles which they clothed in the garb of history.
And they adapted this stories to the limited capacity of the most uncritical and credulous people.

Throughout the century, we have mistakenly take personifications for persons, allegory for history, the vehicle that conveyed the instruction for the instruction, and the gross first sense for the ultimate sense intended.

I will not continue to quote this. If you will receive the Truth of these writings, you will look to find more for yourself Mr. @Papa-Pepper.
The doors are always there, we have to choose to walk through them.

This is the link for the full audio-book: Neville Goddard, Consciousness Is The Only Reality. It's the first lesson out of a series of five, which I really recommend to anyone to study.

I could write so much more about this, but I feel there is not point right now. If it were that you ask for it, it shall be given. :D

Thanks for sharing Mr @Pappa-Pepper!

This is a great post @papa-pepper, I've been into this for some years now and I agree with you on what you wrote. The rapture takes place before tribulation and there will still be tribulation and the killing of us Christians is different from the tribulation killing as proposed in that passage. The reason why people are often misled is because they don't take out time to study the Bible and they lift verses to interpret the Bible. They should know that the Bible is a book, it has a story line, if they don't read it in context, they won't get the actual meaning the writer was trying to pass. Thanks for the insightful post. I'm going to resteem this and go through all your previous work by God's grace.

Thank you @papa-pepper... God has blessed you with understanding in the scriptures..
I was really blessed by the exposition
Great article..

Being hated for Jesus’ name sake is a uniquely Christian experience, reserved only for followers of Christ, not for the Jewish people.

@papa-pepper. I agree with you on this. I think that misconception came as a result of people thinking that only the jews are the children of God.
But Jesus christ died and gave us all access to the father. So being hated for his sake applies to we Christians. All of us. The jewish and non-jewish as far as we proclain HIM.

Some of the most scary words that the Messiah ever said can be found in Matthew 7. Note who He is talking about...He is talking about those people that call Him Lord. The question is who are the people that call Jesus/Yeshua Lord?

Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

I love this warning of our Lord Jesus Christ about the tribulations that will occur to believers, what they will have to face cos of their beliefs. But what we have now is a bunch of people who call themselves Christians but they do not want to bear their cross, they only want to enjoy every moment
