Everyone says this, but is it actually true? The Bible isn’t Rocket Science. There are thousands of verses that are as clear as crystal. Yet, people in different religions, cults, and denominations can’t see top, side, or bottom of the truth contained in one simple verse. We become ecclesiastical politicians developing Pentecostal word salads to defend a position which is not defendable. Connecting verses together which clearly are taken out of context. Yet, we use “I would change my doctrine if proven wrong” as a mantra of religious piety. Hey, don’t get me wrong there are those who are sincere, and will change if corrected on a view. Yet, they don’t fly the flag of “if I’m proven wrong I’ll change my belief!” It’s like someone telling me over and over that he has been doing such and such for 30 years. The only reason they repeat it over and over, is because they themselves don’t believe it. The Bible is symbolic and literal, hermeneutics can easily be deciphered if we are willing to learn the thread that flows through scripture.
Yet, Jesus wasn’t kidding when He said that we weren’t to give pearls of great price to pigs, and the Holy items to dogs. There isn’t any fruit to it. Jesus is the good Shepard and His sheep know His voice. His sheep won’t follow the Stranger.
