Is The Bible Really The Good Book?
When it comes to the Bible there are many different opinions. Maybe that is why it's been a best seller for the past 300 or 400 years. There are those who say it means exactly this, or exactly that but the sad reality is they don't know what it means. The book itself says that it is unfathomable. Is it the good book? I guess that depends on who's hand it is in and how they use it!
If the Bible inspires faith in God then it is a good book.
If the Bible inspires people to love then it is a good book.
If the Bible inspires people to seek GOD for revelation as to the meaning then it is a good book.
If the Bible inspires people to be non-judgmental then it is a good book.
If the Bible inspires people to help the less fortunate then it is a good book.
On the other hand, there are many who mistakenly think that they know exactly what the book says and means. Many of these same people use the book to control, manipulate, profit, judge and condemn. In their hands is the Bible a good book? I'll let you answer that for yourself.
The Bible is a mystery. It also contains information that has nothing to do with religious doctrines. In the gospels who was Jesus always mad at? Do you need a minute to think about it or did you already say the religious leaders. Why was he mad? Because they abused their power and taught literalistic doctrines from the Old Testament laws. It's also how they justified his murder!
From the Bible, and many of those people that think that they know exactly what the book means we have thousands of different religions. Did they all know exactly what it meant but it was something different than the others.
If the Bible inspires you to be a good and decent person that TRIES to do what is right (and you know in your heart what that is) then it is good. In fact, if you are one of those people, God is looking for people just like you to help change this world for the better, permanently. Keep listening and you'll be hearing from Him.
All the best.
