A Book to trust #2 Book of Truth

As lovers of God we do believe the Most High Divine Creator of all things has given His Word for our education and for making it possible to have a good relationship with Him.

Too many do forget how important that Biblical Truth is. They have their ears hanging at the lips of those who tell all sorts of fantasies and philosophies, which are created in the minds of human beings, often people who call themselves theologian (a person versed in or engaged in the study of theology, the study of the nature of God and religious truth plus rational inquiry into religious questions).

Some might say

Truth by definition is unique. There can only be one truth, and we acknowledge anything as a fact, we are immediately saying that everything else is false or illegitimate.{Let’s talk a little more about truth!The Book of Truth}

Though in this world there are many who do want to twist the truth and who certainly who do not want to accept Biblical Truth. Worse is that the majority of people do not want to accept the Words of the Most High. Like when That Divine Creator said about the Nazarene Jew Jeshua (in many English speaking countries better known as Jesus Christ), when he stood in the water of the river Jordan,

 “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”” (Lu 3:22 NIV)

and later in Jesus his life

“This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.”” (Lu 9:35 NIV)

The majority of people calling themselves Christian are convinced that it was God Himself standing there in the water, which is not according what the Bible tells us (like in Matthew 3:17; 17:5).

Lots of people do not seem to recognise the Biblical truth that Jesus is called a son of man.

“But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognise him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”” (Mt 17:12 NIV) (see also: Mt 8:20; Mt 17:9 and Mt 17:22)

And that this son of man himself says that he cannot do anything without his heavenly Father Who is greater than him.

“Jesus gave them this answer: “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.” (Joh 5:19 NIV)

“”You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.” (Joh 14:28 NIV)

“Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me.” (Joh 8:42 NIV)

So many people do not want to accept that Jesus is the sent one from God, though Jesus is saying it himself. But that does not fit in their theory where they do not want to believe a human being could do what God wants him to do. Nor does it fit in their theory that Jesus should be God otherwise he could not do all those things and could not stand up from the dead. Herewith they forget that with God coming out of His fake death (because God cannot die) with such a charade would take our hope away because than we still have no proof at all that man can have a resurrection from the death.

All those trinitarians who ignore all those sayings about “the son of God”, “the sent one from God“, “the authorised one from God“,  “the mediator between God and man“, forget how important it is to believe in those things which are written down in the Bible. They also forget writings which tells us that God knows everything and that God can not be tempted, though we do find Jesus being tempted more than once and Jesus even not knowing when he would return to this earth and who would be seated next to him in the Kingdom of God. They forget that in case Jesus would be God he would have told lies on more than one occasion and would have mislead those around him. Though from Scriptures we also know that God does not mislead people and does not tell lies, Him also being a God of clarity and order.

People may try to prove those lovers of Jehovah to be liars and even call their bibles and their God  full of lies, but they won’t be able to proof such accusations.

The Bible is scientifically as well as historically accurate and reliable. It was never the intention to be a science or history research book, but was meant to be understandable for lettered people as well for uneducated people.

In those ancient books we even can find writings much ahead of their times. For example, the book of Leviticus contained laws for ancient Israel on quarantine and hygiene when surrounding nations knew nothing about such matters. At a time when there were wrong ideas about the shape of the earth, the Bible  referred to it as a circle, or sphere. (Isaiah 40:22) The Bible accurately said that the earth is suspended “upon nothing.” (Job 26:7) Of course, the Bible is not a science textbook. But when it touches on scientific matters, it is accurate. Is this not what we would expect of a book from God?

In the book of books we do find the history of mankind. Here too the history of humankind had to be able to easily remembered.  There is no reason at all to give long detailed accounts though we  find that its accounts are specific. They include not only the names but also the ancestry of individuals. (For example, note the detailed ancestral line of Jesus set out at Luke 3:23-38.) In contrast to secular historians, who often do not mention the defeats of their own people, Bible writers were honest, even recording their own failings and those of their nation. In the Bible book of Numbers, for instance, the writer Moses admits his own serious error for which he was severely reproved. (Numbers 20:2-12) Such honesty is rare in other historical accounts but is found in the Bible because it is a book from God.

That Book of God we consider to be the infallible Word of the God Who made everything and Who does not tell lies but out of love want us to comprehend everything and want us to warn for the future days.

Many people who are against Jehovah do not want to believe that those writers were inspired of God, and as such do not see any reason to have faith in its saying, but also do not see the coherence of it. Many people do not want to hear what is really written in Scriptures. For them it seems a book full of conflicts and contradictions. But they forget that it comes because they do not want to open their ears and eyes to what is written in the special ancient book.

All people should know that this Book of ancient writings is so special and so timeless, it still can be a bestseller giving advice for today. Everybody should come to know that this Book of books is

“beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight.” (2 Timothy 3:16)

Nobody should forget to use it as the most practical book to find advice for life matters. It reflects a keen understanding of human nature. No wonder, for its Author, Jehovah God, is the Creator! He understands our thinking and emotions better than we do. Furthermore, Jehovah knows what we need in order to be happy. He also knows what pathways we should avoid. Therefore we are always better to take the advice given in that book and should always compare its sayings with the sayings of man, giving the most value to the sayings of the Bible.
