The bible, one of the most known and yet misunderstood book in history. What is the bible to most people? to many unbelievers its a book that collects dust. what is the bible to Christians? the word of God correct? We study it, we read it, we memorize it and we teach it. However have you noticed something a bit off about the bible and and us Christians? If the bible really is the very word of God to us how is it we pick and choose parts of it to believe and not believe? How is it we pull verses out of context to fit our beliefs? how is it we even use it to attack or condemn each other? Something as holy and sacred as the word of God is used incorrectly by many. I have even heard some ppl say that part of the bible is irrelevant or doesn't really matter, some even say that some parts of it are not holy spirit inspired. Our views beliefs and doctrines not only separate the bible but even to some makes part of it not from God.
So we have to make a decision don't we? either the bible is the word of God or only part or most of it is. has anyone ever seen the kind of power that a single scripture has? The power of God flows richly between those pages and yet see how we use it. each scripture each verse has more power in it than a nuke, hard to believe isn't it? God showed me this a long time ago, not by sight but the knowledge of it was just put in my heart. He also taught me to use his word with care and caution, to treat is a holy and sacred thing. With a holy and sacred thing you always take very good care of it and you never just do as you please with it do you? Scriptures are thrown here and there all the time and I doubt a lot of ppl understand how holy and sacred it really is or else they would not use it against each other like they do. Some go by the guise of teaching or correcting and some of them really are but I have seen many who say this but in reality they are simply using it to prove they are right.
True I don't use a lot of scripture when I post especially in a heated debate and I have upset ppl because of this. But because of how I see the word of God because of how sacred and holy it is to me I do not want to use it to prove I am right I won't even use it in a lot of my posts not because I don't know the scripture or am to lazy, not because it is so holy and sacred that i wont use it but because I only use it when I know 100% that God wants me to. you see it's very easy to use scripture the wrong way, you might use it with the wrong motives even if it seems like a godly thing if the heart isn't right then we are misusing it. it isn't often that God calls me use scripture but I am more content to use it only when I know for sure he wants me to than to use it with the wrong heart motive or intent.
