1 | Is James 4:3 completely true? | James 4:3 | biblenovice | 223290 | ||
Doc, in response to your question, If you have been saved for 36 years, why still a "biblenovice" the simple answer in the amazing INconsistency of other Christians, and their wide-ranging MIS-interpretation of scriptures and postitons on various situations. I will give you some examples. We are all urged to abandon sin, for instance in John 5:14, and in John 8:11, and Ephesians 4:28 (concerning stealing), etc. Jesus Himself was speaking in Mark 10:11-12, concerning adultery. Yet despite those statements, divorce and remarriage to another spouse (while the former spouse is yet still living) run rampant throughout most Christian denominations! Why is that known blatant sin ignored by clergy and fellow Christians alike? Is there somewhere (ANYWHERE) in scripture that marrying another person AFTER being divorced is ACCEPTABLE in any Christian bible? Did Jesus' postion on that situation ever change, that can be proven through scripture? How is it that, what Jesus labeled as adultery, magically got changed to acceptable behavior among Christians? What does Malachi 3:4 say about adulterers? What does 1 Corinthians 6:9 say about adulterers and homosexuals? And what does Hebrews 13:4 say about adulterers? So, with all the inconsistency practiced all around me, by people who act pious and angelic, while clearly living in sin according to Jesus' own words, yes indeed, I do feel like a biblenovice, even after decades of being a practicing Christian! There is at least one translation in which Mary Magdalene called Peter (yes, the leading Apostle) "my brother," but can we prove that those two had the same mother and/or father? Yet I was "reprimanded" for refering to scriptures that say to "rubuke" a "brother," but NOT an unrelated person, right on this forum! Is God supposed to be our source? Read Phil. 4:19! | ||||||

So, what you are saying, is that Christians actively prevented you from reading the Bible? | ||||||
