Well this will be the 3rd post on my blog that i hope might help someone along the way. The first post was something like why do i even care and the second was trying to show how to read the Bible and this bring me to this, " if you care enough" to "show  people how to read the Bible", what then? Let me say that i read the Bible wrong for most of my life, had no idea i was doing so but continued to read on and  would come to something i couldn't figure out and would just skip right over it. Now i don't have to do so as i explained in the last post so im sure your ready for some examples of what i'm talking about right?

Mat 7:7	¶	Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.             need another?  How about...

Mat 17:20

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.                                                        Many times i prayed prayers something like that and when they didn't come true i would doubt myself and my faith. Now i see how that verse is absolutely correct to who it is written, and when it was written....you see i'm a gentile that at the time these verses were given i was a "dog" as in

Mat 15:27

And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. I wasn't a Jew, i was an enemy of the Jew, i was without hope an alien from Israel. But now i see that those verses are great for me to know and to understand it's even better that i understand that those verses wasn't written for me. I can't take the verses written to the Jew and apply them to myself.  I also wonder how come people want to take the blessings that are Israels but dont want to talk about the curses. I know i kinda bounced around with this but i wanted to show you that all the Bible is for us it's just not all written to us. remember to do the who, what, where. My Bible has never been the same because now i can understand it. I think next time we can talk about the difference between the Jew and Gentile, when was the change, who made the change..why did there need to be a change.....hang on cause this is gonna get good.

I understand the Bible now because i understand now how to read the Bible.

I think if we were honest with each other we would admit to doing what i'm getting ready to tell the whole world ( well atleast whoever reads this), that sometimes before i would read the Bible i would be seeking an answer about something going on in my life and would pray before reading then would just open the Bible to any page hoping that God would interfere and show me the exact chapter and somehow show me the verse. Didn't work then and now i dont think it ever will, you see i know this book is inspired from God himself and i know that anyone can open it and read it and get something out of it. 2Tim.3v.16 says "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, thoughly furnished unto all good works". So i know that alot of information was in those two verses telling me All scripture is inspired of God, all can be used for doctrine ( which goes into the face of some of my old Baptist Deacon friends who would say never take doctrine from the Book of Acts), for reproof and correction and so on. I knew those verses for along time and knew that because i couldn't find what i was looking for it wasn't the Bible that was wrong it was the reader and the more i read the more questions i couldn't answer, many times i would ask other people for help only to find most really didn't care anyway or had no idea what i was talking about which brings me to the next problem and this is where i will hear something about this post, have you ever ask your preacher about a certain verse or chapter and been told that you just cant go reading the Bible like that and even had one person say you need to quit reading it for yourself and just believe whats being taught here. I got good at saying i don't know now but someday i will speaking of when i got to Heaven and knew all the answers, Only until my wife told be of this guy on t.v. she had been watching that answered so many of my questions that i couldn't wait until he came back on, i was on the internet loading mp3"s, downloading messages, watching every episode that would come on (all free). So after reading all this your ready for me to get to the point and this is how simple it is to understand your Bible...all the Bible is written for you, it's not all written to you. Stop here and read that again then stop and think about that statement for a minute. If you will check to see who wrote the book , who is he writing to, when did he write it, where was he wring about, and why was he writing to them the Bible will start being fun to read because you will start to understand it. That's all for today as i hope some will really think about what i have written, and hope that some if honest will say that they know what i mean and was wondering the same things for years. If this applies to you and you had the same trouble join me again as we will look into some more things that will help you to quit reading your Bible every once in a while and become a Bible student.

Why do you care what people think?

I think i will start my first blog off with that question because i've been hit upside the head with that many times. I understand some people don't even care about what i'm talking about, but there are some who struggle with religion everyday and sometimes all day. I once was this person because no matter what i done, how much i prayed, went to church, helped people, tithed, read the Bible, tried to be a good person, and all the other things associated with religion i was a mess. Lucikly my wife seen something one day and cared enough to continue trying to show me things that i really didn't want to hear about. One day i decided to listen to what she said so i could "tell" her how wrong she was, thats been 6 or 7 years ago and i've not been the same since. Once i seen for myself how the Bible should be read and how ALL the Bible is for us only some parts are TO us boy let me say i haven't been the same since. If i was wrong for all those years and now i see the clear truth why wouldn't i want others to see it also? If any of this sounds like what your going through i invite you to check back as i plan to share things that should make Bible study fun, and show you where you fit in the Bible.
