the church is the believers that were taught the apostolic teachings
The original heretic, was Satan, who questioned God's words when talking to Eve.
So, when you see someone who has no use for the bible, because they want to correct it with Greek they can't even read, you've discovered the same issue.
Not to me.
“Someone who has no use for the Bible”? No, someone who wants to better understand the Bible. That’s why people study the Greek and Hebrew languages.
WE are told to "compare scripture with scripture" so as not to become lost in a heresy that is caused by reading the bible as if its a novel.
But you can’t support your claim.
A good way to start would be not to over-think it and just read it as you would a novel. .
You never seem to mention the OT. Why's that?
God said to "study to show yourself approved to God".. In the NT that you are not studying.
Dont overthink that, just do it.
Start anytime you like, as that is how your Freewill operates.
I started long ago.
unless you can find a verse in the OT that shows God on the Cross dying for your sin in the Old Testament.
Because Jesus is the Author of the New Testament, and im the spiritual creation of the New Covenant.
If im trying to serve God according to the old testament, then im chasing Moses Law and commandments, which means im "fallen from Grace" and "in the Flesh".
The born again are products of the NEW Birth, that is a function of the Blood Atonement that is not found in the Old Testament, unless you can find a verse in the OT that shows God on the Cross dying for your sin in the Old Testament.
The word "study" in some translations, e.g., The King James Version, is not the equivalent of the word "study" in modern English. The Greek word in today's English means make every effort, do your best, etc.
Your interpretation is wrong.
Youve been led to believe that you can understand the Greek if you read what someone tells you it means., as you can't read it.
So, if that makes good sense to you, then so be it.
How about Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions,
crushed for our iniquities;upon him was the punishment that made us whole,
and by his bruises we are healed.
You're not getting the whole story if you dismiss the Old Testament. I recommend starting it first thing tomorrow.
Ive preached Christ on the Cross, in at least 10 posts today.
Ive stated this verse...>"the preaching of the Cross", a few times today.
I'll let you study that...
The Old Testament is the majority of modern Bibles. It is just as much God's Word as the New Testament. You should read it all as God's message to humanity.
Great teachers are great students too. Study that.
The word says to study to show yourself approved, to God.
Its the word of God demanding, not suggesting, what to study, and why.
Its all God's word, but its not all the New Covenant.
The blood of Jesus is the reason the New Testament Exists.
The born again, are products of this blood atonement that is the New Testament and the NEW Covenant.
If you are worried about the OLD covenant, you are a long way from the Cross.
