NASB | Romans 3:4 May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, "THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 3:4 Certainly not! Let God be found true [as He will be], though every person be found a liar, just as it is written [in Scripture], "THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED [by sinful men]." [Ps 51:4] |
Bible Question:
Greetings Tim Moran you are wrong.bible can be read.but it is interpreted only by his servants.God reveals his secrets only to his servants who are prophets.prophets only can explain or reveal all the secrets.if not why the revealtion chapters are explained by different people differently.can a person understand it by merely reading with the help of grammer.no they can't.and also disciples were asking jesus why u are speaking in parables to them.he is speaking spiritually.they can understand literally but not spiritually.like other people.Revealtion of jesus christ must come to a person.unless God reveals nobody can know his secret. |
Bible Answer: Greetings, tjkathiresan; You said "God reveals his secrets only to his servants who are prophets.prophets only can explain or reveal all the secrets." Are you suggesting that the Bible cannot be understood without the assistance of a prophet? Surely not - the Bible says otherwise: "We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: 'For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?' But we have the mind of Christ." (1 Corinthians 2:12-16) If you're talking about a secret that is not revealed in the Bible, how would anyone know that the "prophet" was telling the truth? This is a question that Mormons and Muslims should ask themselves. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
