If one’s faith is not good, every transaction in life will not be good. One’s faith determines one’s selection. Good faith comes from the truth. Jesus said : “I am the way, the truth, and the life:” (John 14: 6). He is the Word of God in John 1: 1.
In this blog, we are endeavoring to protect, maintain, refresh, and grow your good faith in a unique way that you will mostly not find in other places. You may have to humble your mind to cherish it.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrew 11: 1. Both the substance and evidence is from the Word of God! The enemy always tries to diminish the faith of the children of God by confusing the interpretations about the Bible.
Biblical interpretation within Christianity has always been a source of ongoing discussion and debate, and that remains true today. Well-known examples are:
- Literal vs. Contextual Interpretation: A core debate revolves around how literally to interpret biblical texts.
- Literalists emphasize the plain meaning of the words and historical context.
- Contextualists consider the cultural, historical, and literary context of the biblical text and recognize that it may use figurative language.
● Biblical Inerrancy: Many Christians hold to the belief that the Bible is inspired by God and without error, leading to debates about how to interpret passages that seem to contradict scientific or historical understandings.
● Amillennialism, Postmillennialism, and Premillennialism: These are three main views regarding the timing of Christ’s return and the nature of the “millennium” (a thousand-year reign of Christ mentioned in Revelation 20).
○ Amillennialism generally sees the millennium as a symbolic representation of the current church age.
○ Postmillennialism anticipates a future golden age where Christian ethics and principles will prevail before Christ’s return.
○ Premillennialism believes Christ will return before a literal, thousand-year reign on Earth.
● Rapture and Tribulation: Within Premillennialism, there are further distinctions regarding the timing of the rapture (when believers are caught up to meet Christ) in relation to a period of tribulation (suffering).
The truth of the Word of God is absolute and the meaning should not be of one’s own interpretation (2 Peter 1: 20). On the other hand, the mystery (not easily seen) of the Word is revealed by God layer by layer (in human space and time) in His manifold wisdom (Ephesians 3:10). I believe that this “manifold wisdom” has not been appreciated by most Christians today. This lack of understanding causes serious damage in Christendom today.
In this Blog, I will choose to use modern science language to show the manifold meaning of the Word of God. I see that all layers are converging to His Son our Lord Jesus Christ. Not everyone will agree with it, but it will serve a great purpose of stretching out our concepts about the meaning of the Word. Hopefully it will greatly mitigate the damage in Christendom today.
The language used in science is much more accurate than in other domains of human knowledge. Most people are not familiar with much of it. You may find that it is perhaps boring at first. However, be assured that it has real meaning in science and it is easy to check out the meaning nowadays. With a little more patience, you will get many benefits and may eventually enjoy it.
In these blogs, you will see how I induced AI to think along the lines of biblical truth and how I convinced the AI of the logical reasonableness of the Bible. The point is this: Once I have convinced AI, I have convinced the intellectual minds of most people living on earth now. If you read them carefully, it will shatter a lot of wrong arguments you have encountered so far about the interpretations of the Bible. Your faith will be refreshed and strengthened.
The truth in human knowledge is like wine. New wine needs new wineskin. The new wineskin is the “brainskin” in our thinking. It will be more pliable and accommodating. This is what it means: This knowledge of the manifold expressions of the truth of the Word is particularly important at the present time: the time of rapid convergence of prophecies. The new nuances of the Word of God are abundantly revealed in the various parts of the body of Christ. These are the fresh revelations from the Spirit of Jesus Christ to many saints of God. They will refresh and strengthen our faith and joy in a new environment of the power of darkness.
They may sound contradicting to the old classical teachings of the movements of God in the past. This is because the teachings of a time are aimed to correct the wrong teachings of the time. The classical teachings satisfied and fulfilled this purpose. Even though their wordings were not so accurate to remain very clear today. And there is no way to rewrite their teachings to assure its easy understanding as they used to be for today. The will of God for us is to grow us to the full stature of our Lord Jesus Christ in our understanding of the Word. In this respect, a deep understanding of the manifold meaning of the Word will easily serve the purpose and you can continue to enjoy the Spirit-anointed classical teachings of the past as well as the Spirit-anointed teachings of today.
Finally, I would like to quote Hosea 6: 3 : “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.”
