AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the LORD God had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, "Can it really be that God has said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" [Rev 12:9-11] |
Subject: Ever Doubt God's Existence? |
Bible Note: Yes, I will pray for you and all of us in this regard. I have found that The Message, by Eugene Peterson, is an excellent version of the bible in that it is a faithful witness to the text and combines meaningful commentary into the text, which is presented in contemporary language that is sensitive and relevant to our culture today. Of course, some may prefer other versions for various reasons, depending on their purposesm. For example, when I want to study the Word, I use the Nelson NKJV. When I want to learn how to apply the Word, I use the Life Application NIV by Zondervan, but when I want to experience the Word, the way I do when I read a novel, I read The Message. We cannot transform others, only the Holy Spirit can do that, so rather than campaigning, I suggest that we be transformed ourselves and let others see us for what we have become. |
