This is completely the wrong way to look at scripture, it's not about making your life better, it's about learning who God is and about how Jesus was there in the beginning, and will be there in the end, and He rose from the dead so we can be saved and spend eternity with Him. 🙏🏼 If you only look at the bible as a way to improve your life you've missed the whole thing 😵 don't miss the greatest love story the world has ever seen
Nope.... The bible is literally the embodyment the moral standard Adam and Eve recieved in the garden of eden. According to the bible Adam and Eve were both instructed NOT to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Welcome to today: You are born with a lust like fire to consume that which was forbidden... to use that power that was "obtained" through an action you were created to do. Question this if you want butthe bible slowly convinces you that you were created to sin. Pride: The bible teaches you what pride is and what to take pride in. Greed: The bible teaches you what greed is and encourages you to be greedy about specific things Lust: The bible literally demands you to lust for the "words of god" but then straigt out tell you if you hear "that voice" it will kill you Envy: Again, the bible teaches you to envy and what to be envious of. Gluttony: Tell me god doesnt want you to be a glutton for his word/way/will Wrath: the bible spells out wrath on your forehead Sloth: this one in particular... how much time are you going to spend on your knees, in a church, reading a book... all becase of the physical book itself? There is no right or wrong way to look at scripture, you currently are just associating your experience with the results of watching others... thats so far down the wrong way to do things that I bid you farewell friend... Parables....the only thing that remains unpoluted becase their existence is inevitable. If only you were not taught that you should apply others parables to your own life... Parables teach us the way. Not to learn from the words of a parable, but to aquire the answer to all lifes questions by using your own parables... thats why these words from christ carry so much weight... the only way to corrupt them is to not understand them. There is a lot more to all of it than anyone will ever understad but answers flow like raindrops You cant get them all at once
@@AtomWeston “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9.
You're both right but loving Jesus is the most important part and expressing that love through action silent action behind closed doors not for show to the rest of the world but rather a way to show them it's not that scary to go to God society has just built that construct around Him to steer us away so youre both right it is a guideline but are you following that guideline just for yourself or are you following to improve so you can be closer to God?
@@callfeestayns2167 willing The lord did not will the light, nor did he will the darkness, he did not will the earth and heavens, he did not will the waters, he did not will man nore woman. The bible teaches will... agency...the freedome to will, not the freedome to choose. Choices dictate... will is supposedly free... they will be done... its massvely cantradictory. The bible in my opinion, if not scrutinized, is as much the wrong way as jesus pointed out to the church... the parables cant be corrupted unless misunderstood. The bible is built off those parables, it teaches you the concepts of finding truth but then you are encouraged by everyone else around you to take it all on faith... The parable/jesus spelled it out I am the way, the only way... thats a parable...
@@AdamFurr-if3cg its the only thing i believe Thats why i follow it... not becauae its right, or because i want salvation or strength or particulars. I just choose to not be led... not that i do t follow, but i follo what i believe, not with faith, but with agency...

This very good teacher is King Jesus, the ultimate teacher who said: Ye shall know them by their fruits and By their fruits ye shall know them in Mat 7:16 and 20. However, they will not give Christ credit
You too can be a real estate developer, a casino owner, have any woman at any time, become President, ignore all rules and even be Dictator of your country, the World and even the Galaxy.
No, not everyone can be anything he/she wants. That is the great delusion of society and the unkept promise that ruins many lifes. It is like the lottery: _anyone_ can win. Not _everyone_ will.
