The previous article focused heavily on the weaknesses and negative aspects of the Bible, this article lists what IS positive about it.
1. Most of the book IS reasonably accurate historically
Most of the Bible is a factual and reasonably accurate historical account of Yah’s interaction with men from which we CAN derive significant learning IF we turn to Yah to answer our questions and interpret.
2. Fundamental commandments ARE accurately recorded
The fundamental laws in the form of the so-called “Ten Commandments” ARE accurately recorded.
3. Basic application of the Commandments is addressed to a point
The basic interpretation and application of the commandments is demonstrated to a point IF we turn to Yah to answer our questions and interpret.
4. Various principles at a headline level
Various principles relating to being in relationship with Yah are demonstrated and discussed at a headline level, again subject to turning to Yah for detailed understanding and application.
5. Some limited inspired sections
There are SOME limited inspired passages, sometimes single verses, albeit frequently badly translated, which DO provide a foundation for Yah to build on – primarily some of Proverbs, some elements of historical accounts both relating to Yahooshua, pre-Yahooshua and post-Yahooshua, particularly by Shaul {Paul} and parts of Revelation.
6. Some statements of Yah’s plans – so-called “prophecy”
Some statements of Yah’s plans and intent by His spokesmen {prophets}}, generally at a sketchy level so that Yah’s servants in later generations have some limited guidance as to what to pray and intercede for. Most important in this generation are elements of Revelation.
7. All of this is compromised
All of this coloured and influenced by the factors discussed in the previous article so, while a useful basis for seeking Yah for clarification the Bible is NOT a basis for in-depth intellectual analysis without the Spirit of Yah. It is also and wide open for demonic interference coloured by the worldly context that totally corrupts the fundamentals and detracts from deep knowledge of Yah such that a few draw closer to Yah and the majority worship the book {bible} or walk away.
8. Satan does hate it because it contains remnants of truth
The forces of darkness DO hate the Bible because it DOES contain accurate history and facts about Yah and some inspired words and Yah HAS managed to work through it to a point. Remember that the goal of the forces of darkness is to UTTERLY defeat Yah on earth but that does NOT validate it as “the Word of God / Yah”.
9. Read prayerfully and in different translations there IS much to learn
Read prayerfully there IS much to learn from the Bible as a STEPPING STONE BUT it MUST be read in close consultation with Yah and with openness to finding error, particularly in the English and other translations derived from / informed by the English versions. I recommend “The Scriptures”, “The Living Torah” and “The Amplified Bible” in particular although they all contain substantial errors. There are many thousands of pages on this website http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org given by Yah at various levels that will enable those who study them to learn much about the things of Yah.
