Chapter Eleven - Controlled By The Bible

Chapter Eleven - Controlled By The Bible

As Christians we must live by faith and not by sight.

The bible is a book mostly of laws, with some other history included in it.

The principle in this is very revealing;

Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

The gentiles before that time were without God and aliens from the covenants of God and the commonwealth of Israel, they were strangers having no hope and were without God in this world.

Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

The gentiles were never under the law.

Under the New Covenant the Holy Spirit is our law, the Spirit tells us what is right and wrong by the Spirit of God in our hearts.

Peter did not take a bible with him when he went to Cornelius’ house, Jesus sent him by the Holy Spirit.

Peter was referred to as an ignorant and unlearned man that most likely could not read nor write.

Acts 10:44 While Peter yet spoke these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

The gentiles were not saved by words in the bible.

Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit saved them.

The Gospel is not written with ink, nor on tablets of stone, but on the tables of our hearts by the Spirit of the Living God.

If you have ever done any serious thinking, do it now.

If you lived in the days of Jesus and wanted to write a book, you would have to obtain writing material which would most likely consist of the hide of a cow that had been killed and prepared, called parchment, and a quill which is a feather and ink of some type.

Books or rather scrolls were very expensive and not many could afford them. And you would need to know how to write in multiple languages.

And only 5% of the people could read at that time.

After Jesus death and resurrection, the Holy Spirit was poured out and all scrolls are now dead letter. So, the dead sea scrolls are indeed dead scrolls.

If the bible is the word of God, then Cornelius never had the word of God which is not true. The word of God is SPIRIT and it is LIFE, not paper and ink.

The bible was not made available to the common people until after the printing press with the Geneva bible in 1560. So most so-called Christians today are really just printing press, bible proselytes.

This new style of Christianity has only been around for four or five hundred years.

The printing press was invented in 1440. The books of the Bible were written and copied by hand, initially on papyrus scrolls.

No originals survive, and the oldest existing scrolls are copies that were made centuries after the books were first written.

The copies contained both errors and intentional changes, resulting in different versions of the books in circulation, ultimately diverging into distinct lineages, called "text families" or "text types."

Over time, the individual scrolls were gathered into collections, but these collections had different scrolls, and different versions of the same scrolls, with no standard organization.

By the 3rd century CE, scrolls were supplanted by early bound books called codexes, and collections of biblical books began being copied as a set.

For the first 400 years of Christian history the Scriptures had not even been canonized so many different letters and gospels were read to the people.

Some of these early writings were later not canonized. Even after 400 years (for reference the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock 400 years ago) every local church did not have in their possession every single canonized book of the Bible.

There were no printing presses or books as we know them back then. Each book was a “book” in the form of a scroll. Until sometime after the invention of the printing press, the Bible, was an extremely costly book.

At today’s minimum wages of $8/hr. and only counting the time for one monk to write the whole Bible, it would take 10 months at a cost of $16,640!!! But that doesn’t count the second monk who checked every single page for accuracy, which would raise the cost of one Bible in today’s US Dollars to $30,000 + And that still does not include the cost of materials, or for the time for another monk to Illuminate (decorate) the pages and for someone else to bind the pages together and put on a cover.

At these prices it is easy to see why every person could not have their own personal Bible for study and devotions.

It also becomes clear why Churches chained the Bible in the Church to prevent the theft of this possession used every day at every Catholic Mass.

All colleges also chained their books in the Library and students had to go there to read them.

It could not be an eternal Christian principle because the majority of people, until the last several hundred years could not read.

Even today, 20% of the world population cannot read.

So, Our Heavenly Father, in His infinite wisdom and mercy would never have made salvation dependent upon personal reading of the Bible.

Constantine had the first fifty bibles compiled on fine velum which is calf skin. These first bibles were in Greek and later in Latin.

It was translated from Hebrew and Aramaic. The Fifty Bibles of Constantine were Bibles in the original Greek language commissioned in 331 by Constantine I and prepared by Eusebius of Caesarea.

They were made for the use of the Bishop of Constantinople in the growing number of churches in that very new city.

Nearly three hundred years after Christ, a sun-god worshiper had the bible compiled into an idol that he dubbed the ‘Word of God’ to control the people with because he could not control Holy Spirit people.

And then in 1611 King James AKA Queen James commissioned his English version of the bible because he did not approve of the Geneva bible as it did not give him the authority that he felt he deserved as a king.

The king James authorized version bible with 66 books to give him the authority that belonged rightfully to God, but he usurped this authority for himself with his so-called “Word of God.”

King James born 6/1566, 6th of the house of Stuart, 1st James of England. The mark of the beast is the number of a man and his number is 666, king James the second beast.

They would persecute and kill anyone that would not bow to the authority of this book. They hanged Mary Dyer and three of her friends in Boston.

Fifteen hundred of them were released from prison in England when they accepted the toleration act.

The Act allowed freedom of worship to nonconformists who had pledged to the oaths of Allegiance to the throne of England.

Everyone was required to submit to the authority of the bible. Now they had god in their hand instead of God in their heart.

The bible is the golden calf on steroids, and has taken more people away from the Holy Spirit than any other idol in history. Because they THINK they are saved and that they have the word of God.

The great God of heaven cannot correct them.

There are millions of people dead in the world from the virus and they don’t even know what is happening or why.

They cannot be chastened because they are made right by a book in their deceived minds. THE BIBLE IS AN IDOL!
