READ IT FOR YOURSELF

 READ IT FOR YOURSELF.


After reading and studying the Bible many years

I have learned that there is a lot of misinformation

about it.  Even a large number of honest, truthful

people hold some wrong teachings about it.


The problem seems to be not the person, preacher

or teacher.  But the fact that they took somebody

else's word for something without checking it out.


READ THE BIBLE FOR YOURSELF. 


The Apostle Paul mentions such people when

he said;


"For some men, straying from these things,

have turned aside to fruitless discussion, 

wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though

they do not understand either what they are

saying or the matters about which they make

confident assertions."

(1Timothy 1:6,7 NASB)





Jesus Christ said it a different way;


"Let them alone; they are blind guides of the

blind.  And if a blind man guides a blind man,

both will fall into a pit."  

(Matthew 15:14 NASB)


READ THE BIBLE FOR YOURSELF.





If you will read the Bible for yourself you will not 

need to read all those other books about the Bible.

But you will have the straight truth for yourself.




Just a personal suggestion.

If possible use a version that uses the same

language that you do.  There is nothing especially

Holy about reading the Bible in some quaint odd

language that no one uses anymore


I would further suggest that you do not read

it in a hurry.  But take it slow and easy.  Let

it talk to you.  Ask God to reveal the things

to you that he wants you to see and understand.
