im not saying throw out the bible or dont obey it......... im just saying there are examples in the bible of people being commended for doing soemthing questionable.......
Well, errant believers that thinks tongues can be used as a prayer language by the Holy Spirit will use the Book of Acts and Romans 8:26-27 & even 1 Corinthians 12- 14 chapters in errant Bible version as an example to justify what other parts of the Bible says it is not... like John 16:13 which states in ALL Bibles that the Holy Spirit cannot use God's gift of tongues to speak or utter His own intercessions. And yet...they can read inbetween the lines to explain away their second supernatural experience in how they got that tongue which never comes with interpretation and ignore all the warnings in the scripture of the N.T. and the Isaiah 8:19 of the O.T. as to why God will not turn His gift of tongues to speak unto the people as a means for the Holy Spirit to speak back to God in prayer.
Only the KJV has kept the true meaning of His words while tongue speakers continue to ignore those scripture that proves they are reading the other scriptures wrong or have an errant Bible version of Romans 8:26-27 when the KJV reconfirms that the intercessions of the Holy Spirit's cannot be uttered... not even the groaning of the Holy Spirit.. thus He is silent in verse 26 while in verse 27 Another is knowing the mind of the Spirit as This Anther is the One that searches our hearts...as Hebrews 4:12-16 confirms this Another and that Another is the man Christ Jesus, the ONLY Mediator between God and man. 1 Timothy 2:5
Prayer system is set up where the Son presents the Spirit's unspeakable intercessions, our intercessions and the Son's own intercession to the Father so that whenever the Father says "Yes". the Son answers the prayers so that the Father may be glorified in the Son for answered prayers by giving the Father thanks in Jesus's name. John 14:13-14
So I would go a step further by saying the King James Version is the final authority if you want the truth in His words, and only by trusting Jesus Christ as your Good Shepherd can you discern that the KJV is the one to rely on for abiding in Him.
But as per your example....you can find a lot of examples in the O.T. that are questionable and even contrary to what Jesus has taught in the N.T., but as those examples of yours were under the Old Covenant, you are under the New Covenant and should lean on the Lord Jesus Christ as your Good Shepherd to discern how He wants you to follow Him in according to His words under the New Covenant of the New Testament of the King James Bible as teh final authority.
Now if you do not have a KJV Bible, you can always go to Bible gateway and compare your version with the KJV and lean on Him as your Good Shepherd as t why the KJV is the one to rely on for the meat of His words to discern good & evil in these latter days where faith is hard to find.
