The WORD of God is ALIVE!
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." (John 1:1-5)
If eternity is without beginning or ending and the Word was with God in the beginning, what beginning was it? Whenever that beginning was the Word of God was there but, there was NO BOOK called the BIBLE! Therefore, the "WORD" of God is NOT the BIBLE! Yet the Word existed with God and the Word was God...therefore, the Word of God is without beginning or ending...unlike the bible. Today there is an Anti-Christ spirit that says "the book we call the bible, is the Word of God", this deception is accepted as truth by the vast majority of Christendom. It is biblically clear that the Word of God existed before the bible had its beginning.
This Anti-Christ spirit idolizes the Bible so it will be worshiped as God, rather than the true God is and people who place the bible as equal to God are idol worshippers. People that worship the Bible follow this Anti-Christ spirit by allowing the Bible to take the place of Christ, get upset with people that refuse to follow the same Anti-Christ spirit they do. This idolization of the bible, the use of it as a rule book, has led to (because of man's interpretation) many man-made doctrines and is the prime reason for so much disunity and segregation in the community of the redeemed.
These people do not believe that God reveals any truth by His Holy Spirit out side of what MAN has determined as the canon; they believe that truth is found by the use of "tools", human interpretations, hermeneutical exegesis and intellectual pursuit or through diligent bible study.This canon is really a cannon that has splintered the body of Christ and caused them to bunker in segregated name-tagged buildings called churches,
The bible is a book about God that contains some of the words of God that is suppose to point people to the WORD of God...Jesus! The bible does just that when correct contextual consistency is practiced, and Spirit illumination is received... in bible interpretation instead of allowing a belief system determine the way it is interpreted.
One Online Encyclopedia states: "During the Reformation hermeneutics came into being as a special discipline concerned with biblical criticism. The Protestant theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher, Friedrich Daniel Ernst, expanded the discipline from one concerned with removing obstacles preventing readers from gaining the proper understanding of a text to one concerned in addition with analyzing the necessary conditions for readers coming to any understanding of a text. The philosopher Wilhelm Dilthey, 1833-1911, German philosopher, expanded the discipline still further by conceiving of all of the human and social sciences as hermeneutical enterprises and trying to construct a method uniquely for them, instead of borrowing one from the natural sciences. In the 20th cent. hermeneutics has been developed by the philosophers Hans-Georg Gadamer, 1900-2002, German philosopher, b. Marburg and Paul Ricoeur."
According to the above quote about "hermeneutics", it is the philosopher and the theologian that determines "the conditions that must be met for the readers to come to any understanding of the text", therefore the credit for understanding scripture is cleverly taken away from the ministration of the God's Teacher the (Holy Spirit) and given to the theologians and philosophers of this world; this is Anti-Christ spirit deception! People who claim the bible to be the Word of God, yet they do not believe the plain writings of scripture are living in deception!
"But the anointing which ye have received of Him abides in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him." (1John 2:27)
The Bible is NOT Anti-Christ inspired, but naming the Bible the "WORD of GOD" is. Why?Because it is in direct contradiction to Who the Bible tells us is the WORD of GOD! There is the one and only WORD of GOD and His name is Jesus...not the Bible!
According to Dr. Albert Mohler, John Calvin...theologian, philosopher, lawyer, politician...known as the "tyrant of Geneva" developed 25 rules for preaching which are; "direct beginning - extemporaneous delivery - scriptural context - stated theme - specific text - exegetical precision - literal interpretation - cross references - persuasive reasoning - reasonable deduction - familiar words - vivid expression - provocative questions - simple restatements - limited quotations - unspoken outline - seamless transition - focused intensity - pastoral exhortation - personal examination - loving rebuke - polemical confrontation - succinct summation - pressing appeal & climactic prayer."
I also read that Calvin taught that in this day God speaks exclusively, to his people, through "preaching", from an approved seminary trained "preacher". Calvin taught that one could not be saved without a preacher, they could not hear from God on their own. Calvin also taught that a preacher could be preaching right doctrine, and if that preacher was not approved by Calvin or as Calvin would state, called by God, the preacher, no matter how accurate, was not preaching the "Word of God" to the people.
"And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." (Lu 16:15 av)
A person is spiritually blind not see Anti-Christ deception at work here in the teachings of Calvin, in that you must go through the paid professional rather than thru Christ to be saved. This teaching of Calvin, where the wisdom of this world takes the place of the foolishness of preaching, where the ministration of the Spirit of God is replaced by the denominational wisdom of this world, where the Spirit and power of God is taken out of the equation, where seminary training replaces Holy Spirit illumination stands against God. How is it possible that believers can be so blind? Is this not the Anti-Christ spirit at work?
"For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." (1Co 2:2-5)
What does the scripture at the beginning of this post say?
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Notice that the scriptures do not say "in the letters of the bible is life"...the light is in Jesus and that light is the light of men.
"Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit giveth life." (2Co 3:2-6) Now bible worshippers...put that in your pipe and smoke it!
The foundation of the Apostles are not written in the writings or epistles they left, the foundation of the Apostles are written in the hearts of men. If you want to know the true teachings of the Apostles, you must read it in the hearts of men who have been taught by them. The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life, and if you have that life, you are a living epistle of the Apostles for all to read! You cannot get life from that which is dead, the letter, you must receive life from that which is living! Calvinism teaches "receiving life from dead letters", the Apostles teach "receiving life from the living!" If we read the bible as a closed book without Holy Spirit illumination it is lifeless.
Any spirit that teaches AGAINST Christ is an Anti-Christ spirit; The Word teaches "Christ in you the hope of glory". Religious people of this day, influenced by the Anti-Christ spirit, are quick to stamp out this truth in the life of a believer; should a believer believe himself to have received something from God, they are reminded by the religious establishment they are not one of the original Apostles, they are not seminary trained in the bible and are not the spiritual pipeline God uses to bring spiritual truths to people.
"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:" (Col 2:6-10) The fullness of the Godhead is in Christ...not the bible.
Again; the bible as good as it is, or any religious book is not "The Word of God"; The Word of God is a person, the person of Jesus Christ Himself!
One meaning of the original word used for "book" in the Hebrew, is the descriptive meaning "Evidence". The bible is "Evidence" of the WORD of God, but it is not the WORD of God its self, for if the written book was "The WORD of God"..."That which is Perfect"...then the book it's self should be worshiped! The worshiping of the bible will just make you an idol worshiper because it is not the living God. As the scriptures say "God is Spirit and those who worship him should worship Him in Spirit and in Truth". Anyone who worships dead letters, is an idol worshiper!
Let's not be guilty of worshiping the book that points to God...let us worship the True and Living Word of God!
If eternity is without beginning or ending and the Word was with God in the beginning, what beginning was it? Whenever that beginning was the Word of God was there but, there was NO BOOK called the BIBLE! Therefore, the "WORD" of God is NOT the BIBLE!
