Help me to understand bible

[paul12]

Hi my friends.

I live in a place that being Christian means death. So no access to Church, community, pastors and etc. From the day that Jesus showed me his light and presence, until now, with help of the LORD I know about Christianity. At first from a secure source on the Internet (here, authority track people with Internet activities, so needed to be careful, and still trying to be) I've found a NIV bible, I read the Old testament, and wrote down New testament on notebooks, to be available with me to read always. And then miraculously I've found a physical KJV bible (it's an old Oxford bible with apocrypha), started to reading it.

I try to apply Jesus' teaching in my daily life. It completely changed my identity!
But I want to go deeper, basically I want to grow the potential to invite people around me (they do not know about God and Christianity) to open a window in their souls to see Lord. I did it for my only friend. I will do it carefully and accepted the consequences.

For that purpose, I need more than my internal believes and feeligs that I could not say them with words, I need a systematic approach to understand the bible. For example, what exactly salvation is, what love is, how to live, who the Jesus was, and be able to say them with words for people to understand all according to bible.

For my friend, I used my own testimony and parables of Jesus and my own believes and words from bottom of my heart. But I feel the main reason he converted to Christianity was he knew me. He knew about my devout muslim era, my satanism era and atheism era and things I've done. He understood something powerful needed to transform a godless, dirty, sinful, wretch and prideful creature like me into someone who preaches about love of Christ.

Please help me, How can I read bible, for spreading the word. To understand day to day topics (Love, Working, Faith, Enemy, Persection and etc.) according to the Book.

Thanks.

God bless you brother! Wonderful testimony! So glad that you have come know Jesus as your Lord and Savior!

When I became a Christian, I read the Bible asking God lots of questions. He always answered in one way or another - He would direct me to Bible verse that anwers a question, or He would put me in a situation that would illustrate His answer.

So do you have any specific questions from spending time with God reading the Bible together? We'll try answer answer as best as we can!

I would stay hidden, and pray. Just survival. Don't do a suicide thing.
The apocrypha books where removed from the KJV, because they where found to be false.

It's awesome that u want to share your faith but , can I advise u ? Before u start to help others u must b very grounded and reasonably knowledgeable about the Bible and what it tells us about God and Jesus . This may take a little bit of time . I have been reading the Bible every day for about 30 years and I know that I still have a lot to learn . It's not a race , God know u and sees that u want to get closer to Him , this is going to b a lifelong relationship and process for u so , take your time and make sure u know what u r taking about before u try to bring in others . Maybe instead of setting yourself up as a teacher , invite your friend to learn along with u at the same pace . Also , please make sure that he is trustworthy and not likely to go around advertising what u r doing as u say u live in a country that isn't Christian friendly . May God bless u as u seek to draw closer to Him .

My Bible pages are most soiled at Ephesians, especially chapter four.
When you read Eph. 2:11-3:6, realize that Gentiles includes Muslims.
While I was stationed in Iraq, I considered how to harmonize monotheism as follows:

Islam is the belief that God’s will is most fully expressed by Mohammed in the Qur’an. The Qur’an contains many moral and theological teachings that are compatible with the Judeo-Christian Bible (e.g., Surah 2, v.62, 83, 87, 89 & 256). It is tragic that people who claim to serve God reject the NT Gospel.

Christianity is God’s bridge uniting monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc.) rather than a wall separating them. This truth is derived from a statement by the apostle Paul (in 1Tim. 2:3-4) indicating that Yahweh/God/Allah loves all people and wants everyone to love each other as one happy spiritual family or fellowship, and He is grieved when people who claim to believe in Him quarrel (Eph. 4:30-31). The apostle Paul indicated how Judaism and Christianity may be harmonized (in Rom. 2:28-29 & 4:16-17), and he revealed that the purpose of Judaism was to provide the Messiah for the possible salvation of all people (Rom. 3:21-31 & 9:4-5, Isa. 42:1-6, Gen. 22:18, Deut. 9:5-6). Thus, Muslims should become Messianic (Christian), although they may choose to follow the old customs (Acts 15:5-29, Gal. 2:15-16).

When Judaism was reformed by Jesus and his apostles, Paul taught (in Rom. 2:28-29, 4:16-17 & Gal. 3:29) that what matters is not the religion of our parents, but whether each of us has faith like Abraham in the one true God. A spiritual Jew loves God (Deut. 6:4-5), a true Christian loves God and humanity (Matt. 22:37-40), and a genuine Muslim serves God by cooperating with His plan of salvation (Matt. 24:45 & 25:21). Theists can be Jewish, Christian and Muslim, because Christianity is God’s solution/plan for peace in the world (Eph. 2:11-22).

The purpose of Judaism was to provide the heritage for Messiah for the benefit of all people (Rom. 3:21-31, 9:4-5a, Isa. 42:1-6, Gen. 22:18, Deut. 9:5-6), and the intent of Islam (stated by the Qur’an in Surah 2:89) was “confirming” God’s previous revelations to the Jews and Christians (the OT & NT). When Jews became Messianic, Paul and Peter agreed that they could follow the old Jewish customs that did not contradict faith in Jesus as Lord (Acts 15:5-29 & Gal. 2:15-16). Because everything good and true is from God (Jam. 1:27), accepting Jesus as Messiah does not mean rejecting what is good and true in one’s pre-Christian experience or culture.

However, the relationship between Jesus, Moses and Mohammed needs to be harmonized. Paul wrote (in 1Tim. 2:5): “For there is one God and one mediator between God and humanity, the man Christ [Messiah] Jesus.” This verse clearly indicates that the Christian concept known as the Trinity should not be understood as contradicting faith in one God. Similarly, calling Messiah “God’s Son” should not be understood as contradicting the humanity of Jesus (Heb. 2:17), the one God ordained to die unjustly as payment of the penalty for the sins of humanity. God relates to humanity in three primary ways: as the Creator or Father over all, as the Holy Spirit (cf. Surah 2:87) within believers, and as the human Messiah/Jesus with humanity (Immanuel in Matt. 1:23).

Thus, Muslims–like Jews–may accept Jesus as Messiah with the understanding that the Mosaic laws Islamic five pillars do not contradict the Christian gospel of salvation. In the OT God established a covenant with Abraham (Gen. 15:18, 17:2) by which “all nations on earth will be blessed” (Gen. 8:18), Jeremiah revealed that the Mosaic covenant would be superseded by a new covenant (Jer. 31:31, cf. Heb. 7:18-10:1), and Isaiah associated the new covenant with Messiah, “my chosen one”, who would also be “a light for the Gentiles” (Isa. 42:1,6&9, 49:5-6&8, 59:20-60:3, 61:1 & 62:2&11). God’s “chosen people” potentially includes everyone in the world who satisfies His requirement for salvation by seeking truth and finding Messiah (Eph. 2:11-3:6, Rom. 10:1-11:32).

In Eph. 3:1-6, note that world peace through the gospel of Christ was a “mystery” until Paul received a divine revelation. As Paul wrote in 1Cor. 2:7-8, “We speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” Thus, although with hindsight we can see how Old Testament scriptures foreshadowed Christ, we should not expect that they specifically prophesied the gospel (although Isaiah 53 is quite impressive). In summary, the evidence of accepting God’s will and cooperating with Him is manifesting love for everyone including enemies, which is the opposite of that held by those claiming to believe in God/Allah who are grieving Him by terrorizing

IOW, Islam needs a "Martin Luther" to lead its own reformation!

Matthew ch 7 verse 16 . What r u fruits of islam ?

Not much good, comparable to RC before the Reformation and until Vatican II ended the jihad--I mean Inquisition--about 1964.

At first from a secure source on the Internet (here, authority track people with Internet activities, so needed to be careful, and still trying to be) I've found a NIV bible, I read the Old testament, and wrote down New testament on notebooks, to be available with me to read always. And then miraculously I've found a physical KJV bible (it's an old Oxford bible with apocrypha), started to reading it.

I try to apply Jesus' teaching in my daily life. It completely changed my identity!
But I want to go deeper, basically I want to grow the potential to invite people around me (they do not know about God and Christianity) to open a window in their souls to see Lord. I did it for my only friend. I will do it carefully and accepted the consequences.

For that purpose, I need more than my internal believes and feeligs that I could not say them with words, I need a systematic approach to understand the bible. For example, what exactly salvation is, what love is, how to live, who the Jesus was, and be able to say them with words for people to understand all according to bible.

He knew about my devout muslim era, my satanism era and atheism era and things I've done. He understood something powerful needed to transform a godless, dirty, sinful, wretch and prideful creature like me into someone who preaches about love of Christ.

Start here in trust to Father to work it all-out through you


Authorized (King James) Version

Luke 21:14-15

14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

In everything you do, about to do or have done, be honest as I hear from your post you are. God will lead and do, whatever is needed through you, whatever is needed to get done will by God Father in risen Son for you will be done. As what Son did first for us all.
Only left for each person to believe individually and see new he is risen alive for you too. Once anyone does that the new life is begins in lo e and mercy to all, even enemies. Yet be aware to understand and know when to go left or right, when to speak and when to not by trust to God alone thank you.
Yet Watch out, be aware Matthew 10:16-20 as well as below.
Phil 3:1-3
3 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Just tell your story to whoever you know through you, as you are led by God to do. Yes evil will try to stop you. It tried to stop Paul and they threw him in jail. Thinking we got him now, HaHa!
Which only turned out the best, How?
We got the Epistles written from Paul. since he was put in Jail, he might not have ever wrote the Epistles and we might not have what we have today to read and hear truth from Father in the Holy Spirit given us.
Jesus going to his willing death, looked bad. yet his being risen turned out the best for us that believe to see, that Father reveals to people as has you, thank you Father. This love and mercy to all, I never could understand in my first born flesh person.
Thank you for standing in belief as Father reaches more and more people

Hi my friends.

I live in a place that being Christian means death. So no access to Church, community, pastors and etc. From the day that Jesus showed me his light and presence, until now, with help of the LORD I know about Christianity. At first from a secure source on the Internet (here, authority track people with Internet activities, so needed to be careful, and still trying to be) I've found a NIV bible, I read the Old testament, and wrote down New testament on notebooks, to be available with me to read always. And then miraculously I've found a physical KJV bible (it's an old Oxford bible with apocrypha), started to reading it.

I try to apply Jesus' teaching in my daily life. It completely changed my identity!
But I want to go deeper, basically I want to grow the potential to invite people around me (they do not know about God and Christianity) to open a window in their souls to see Lord. I did it for my only friend. I will do it carefully and accepted the consequences.

For that purpose, I need more than my internal believes and feeligs that I could not say them with words, I need a systematic approach to understand the bible. For example, what exactly salvation is, what love is, how to live, who the Jesus was, and be able to say them with words for people to understand all according to bible.

For my friend, I used my own testimony and parables of Jesus and my own believes and words from bottom of my heart. But I feel the main reason he converted to Christianity was he knew me. He knew about my devout muslim era, my satanism era and atheism era and things I've done. He understood something powerful needed to transform a godless, dirty, sinful, wretch and prideful creature like me into someone who preaches about love of Christ.

Please help me, How can I read bible, for spreading the word. To understand day to day topics (Love, Working, Faith, Enemy, Persection and etc.) according to the Book.

Thanks.

Your desire is good. You do not only want to feel the truth, you want to understand it clearly and speak it clearly. That shows love for God and love for people. I will answer some questions here now;

The Bible can be understood in a simple and steady way. Start with Jesus Himself. He is the center. If you understand Him, the rest becomes clearer.

First, who is Jesus?
Read the Gospel of John slowly. John begins by showing that Jesus is the Word who was with God and is God, and that He became flesh (John 1:1,14 ASV). Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6 ASV). So Jesus is not only a teacher. He is the Son sent from the Father to bring us back to Him.

Second, what is salvation?
Jesus said, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16 ASV). Salvation means being rescued from sin and death and receiving eternal life. But Jesus also said, “If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments” (John 14:15 ASV). So salvation is not only words. It is trust in Him that changes how we live.

Third, what is love?
Jesus said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart… and thy neighbor as thyself” (Matthew 22:37–39 ASV). And He said, “Even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another” (John 13:34 ASV). Love is not only a feeling. It is choosing to do good, to forgive, to serve, even when it costs us something. Jesus showed love by giving Himself.

Fourth, how should we live?
The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5 to 7 is a clear guide. There Jesus speaks about humility, mercy, purity, forgiveness, prayer, trusting God, and doing His will. He ends by saying that the wise man is the one who hears His words and does them (Matthew 7:24 ASV). So daily life is built on obeying what He taught.

If you want a simple and systematic way to grow, you can do this:

Read one Gospel carefully and meditate, reflect what Jesus says about:

• God the Father
• Himself
• Sin
• Obedience
• Love
• Eternal life

Let Scripture explain Scripture. do not add interpretation of your own.

You do not need complicated systems. Stay close to the words of Jesus. Learn them. Repeat them. Pray over them. Slowly, your thoughts will become clearer, and your words will become stronger.

And remember, understanding grows with time. Do not rush. Ask whenever something is unclear. I am here to help you think through each topic step by step. we have much to discuss,
