AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God's will, both publicly and privately--behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; |
Bible Question: Is the bible literal? What does that mean? Do we really believe that the words used from the past or completely transcended of time? |
Bible Answer: Hello Journey, The scriptures are God's Words spoken through men. These words were given for instruction for mankind. 2 Timothy 3:15-17 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. These words are TRUTH. Besides them, there is no truth. John 17:17 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. The scriptures were given for man to live by, and not simply live here in our carnal life but these Words are spiritand life. These Words lead to eternal life when mixed with faith. Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Do these Words transcend time? Yes. There are no NEW sins, no NEW temptations, no NEW truth. 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. There is only one way to PROVE the above claim in this life...believe it, walk it, see God be faithful. God's Truth cannot be REASONED away or REASONED factual. His Words produce life in the lost when believed and received. 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Does this answer the question, or would you like to be more specific? God bless PS Literal means believing God meant what He said and every scripture is God breathed. At least that is my understanding. |
