Comfortable

Lord Jesus, was the Word that you were teaching that difficult to comprehend? I read it and it makes sense, even in the parts that require some contemplation to understand spiritual application or parable. But through what lens am I determining this measure of simplicity? I understand that people hear some difficult parables and do not comprehend at first, I get it that sometimes concept as the cleansing blood, and without the shedding of blood there can be no remission of sin.  I get it that there are some issues surrounding Israel or the characters of the Bible as symbolic reference to the plan for salvation, but I am stilled perplexed the laxity with which people attend to the Bible’s importance.

For example, when we are youths we will spend thousands of hours, listening to music, conducting sporting event and exercise going to class for hundreds of hours to master the basic principles required to become socially successful.  However, the Book that promises the opportunity and discusses/explains the path to eternal life and the forgiveness of our shame, guilt and sin is given a small proportion of our time and attention at understanding. In fact, those who go to college will spend hundreds of hours going over the philosophies of man, the Greeks, Persians, Egyptians, Romans, Chinese and Indians, yet spend mere minutes upon the Words ascribed to the Creator of all those civilizations and the original of all original thought.  It frankly makes no sense.  I get the same feeling when I look at the impossible statistics regarding western universities being 97% liberal.  These are manufactured results, accomplished by infiltration and strict attention to creating this circumstance.

Now we must see the enemies planning and thus a consistent and logical step in its reversal. If we have achieved our current predicament and lack of Biblical understanding through the apparent attempts of nefarious actors to keep us away from a relationship with the Creator via a thorough study and comprehension of the Word He has given us then, by nature and reason, a thorough study and understanding of those texts would in fact remedy the anomaly.

Oh, wait you are making too much sense.  What if I don’t want to do that work and want to continue to state that things like being cleansed by the Blood of the Perfect Lamb of all unrighteousness or perhaps that His Body and Blood were given that whosoever partakes of them shall find salvation and everlasting life?  You see if I continue to claim these ideas are too complex, too radical, too representative in their meaning for me to possibly understand that is ample excuse for not doing so.

First, Romans 1 states that none of us have excuse since all were given the Truth of God by the Creator, so there goes that escape.  And second, if everything were working for us in society, no wars, famines, economic troubles, poor, dying, impoverished or tyrants, then I would say continue upon the same path on which we currently reside.  But, it isn’t working.  Liberalism is not increasing the freedoms associated with our thinking and our right but limiting them.

Therefore, by reason of simple logic we must be ready to pursue those things we have previously found excuse to escape.  It is time for those who call themselves by His Name to know His Word and to take the time and the honored pleasure of teaching it to our families, friends and foreigners who are within our sphere. To do otherwise is foolish and disobedient.

The greatest wisdom available is within the Word of God.  Prove me wrong. Show me the error of my thinking and correct my statements.  Oh, you see me a bit too clever for you cannot refute my arguments for faith without first understanding faith.  You cannot diminish the Bible by understanding the Koran or any other religious text. You cannot argue against the existence of God utilizing any philosophy or science for they are both within its text and you will find yourself confronted with logical argument for your conversion and retreat from the field of discussion.  So go ahead, prove me wrong. I can take it, can you.  Show me the error of my ways, In fact, I challenge all of America to prove me wrong, pick up the Word and show me the error in my thinking and my faith.  Oh, the excuse is becoming evident the plan of the enemy is revealed.  Keep them from the Book at all cost for within its Word they shall find relationship with the King and find everlasting Life.  How can I be other than Bold with such an armament of discussion available to the asking?

Choose, for that is your gift from God the free will right to choose.  But you must know the stakes and the implications of such choice.  To know these you must know and study the Bible and have a chat with Almighty God in the privacy of your own thinking and discussion.  I welcome that opportunity for your private choice and welcome the opportunity to be proven wrong, or perhaps be thanked for being right.  I am comfortable with either, are You?  In Jesus’ Name.

  1. What true inspired words Caleb! I’m comfortable in knowing – in my heart, soul and fiber of my being – that the Bible is Truth, The Word of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

    There is so much to learn and apply to our lives. Everything is right there! It’s AMAZING! I pray that I have a clean heart before I approach Gods Word, so I might have Spirit filled discernment while reading or listening to His Word. I find great comfort reading the Bible.

    I’m amazed when I listen to you teach and read His Word. I’m inspired, convicted, and overwhelmed by Gods love and sacrifice when I hear you teach. You really have a special gift of teaching and ministry. May The Lord Bless and Keep you safe.

    May I ask a question? What kind of Bible do you have?

    Thanks, Victoria 🙂
