The BIG Picture (Shorts)

Dictionaries are crucial for understanding word meanings, especially when delving into the King James Bible. However, the challenge arises when modern dictionaries don't always reflect the original connotations of words used in historical texts. The Bible itself, due to its extensive nature, often defines terms contextually across different verses. For example, the term "oracle" can be better understood by examining its application in various scriptures such as, 1 Kings 6:16 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle , even for the most holy place. Acts 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: Romans 3:2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. While contemporary dictionaries ...

The bible is the ONLY source of truth! All other materials are interpretations of that truth. Some interpretations might be accurate, some might not, some might be biased and become false teachings. It becomes important to weigh up the material with the Bible and eliminate content that disregards scripture or that clearly misinterprets scripture. A rule of thumb is that "scripture must interpret scripture"; in other words, that a fact must be accurately confirmed by multiple other scriptures. If a fact is based on only one verse and clearly disregards the context of the verse or violates other scriptures, that fact is probably an opinion or a false (or biased) interpretation by the author. It is imperative that one keeps this in mind as you read, study, and apply what you've learned, into your life or writings or teachings. ______________ Please share these with friends and family.

I’ll fervently teach the Bible rightly divided till the Lord comes. It is an inevitable result of studying the Word according to Paul, 2Tim.2:15. When one studies the Bible, line by line and precept upon precept, one comes to this inevitable conclusion that one must rightly divide prophecy from mystery, law from grace, and Israel from the Body of Christ. Consider this. How can one mix prophecy , which is something spoken since the world began, with mystery , which is something kept secret since the world began? The two are mutually exclusive. Blending them creates a false doctrine because one must twist scriptures to make them fit a different narrative that is imagined in the mind of man. For many years I tried to make sense of the Bible, until I decided to actually study the Bible — and came to the conclusion by my own discernment — that one must rightly divide. When I did, the Bible truly opened up to me for the first time. I’ll never go back to the blended confusions of the past. ...

  It is common for modern Charismatic denominations to call upon the fire of God, connecting this with the power of the Holy Spirit in Matt.3 and Acts.2. But, this a gross misinterpretation of scripture. Being baptized with fire is not a ‘good’ thing! It is in actual fact a reference to the horrific judgements of the tribulation, leading up to the second coming of Christ.  Notice we have fire 3-times in Matt.3:10–12. In v10 it is negative and regarding fruitless trees being burned up in the fire. In v12 it is negative referring to the chaff being burned with unquenchable fire. So, why would v11 be any different? Its context remains the same as the verses that surround it, interpreting the fire as judgement at His second coming. That’s not a fire I want to call down upon myself!! Can you see how misinterpreting verses like this can cause a false narrative of scripture and lead to doctrines that are skewed and confusing. It is vital to understand right division! ______________ J...
