🥳Is It or Not❓

 To know what we know and not what others tell us.

The book we call the Bible, is it really God’s Word? Or is it a book written by men of long ago with good teaching and advice? Many have no idea and have never look into it. Maybe they feel it just isn’t that important. Now buying that new jacket at a great price we must read the reviews. We must see if it’s true what the seller is saying before we spend our money. I wonder how much we have put into knowing if the Bible is true or false? I think much more is riding on that than a jacket or whatever else we are reading reviews on. Eve did the same thing she believed a lie.

Genesis 3:1 (KJV) Now the serpent was more subtil (Sly,Crafty) than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Well Eve, what did God say? This is what Eve said. Genesis 3:2 (KJV) And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

Genesis 3:3 (KJV) But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

That is close. What did God say?

Genesis 2:16 (KJV) And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

Genesis 2:17 (KJV) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

God said nothing about touch. Although that would have been  an appropriate thing to do. Stay far away, don't look and don’t touch. The enemy, the devil didn’t question that but he did question the eternal life issue.

Genesis 3:4 (KJV) And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

That’s a good one, so good that the enemy, the devil, is still using it. The Bible it’s not God’s Word, God is Love. He is not going to send people He loves to hell. When life is done it’s done so live it up and enjoy life. Stop!! Where did you get that kind of thinking? What book did that come from? Who told you that? Why do you trust and believe that? Have you taken the time to know and see if that is true? Eve did the same thing she believed a lie and because she did she paid the price. Are you sure you don’t have time to see if your thinking is correct? Oh don’t believe what I’m saying for that’s no better than believing Joe or Betty at work. No go read and understand about the Bible. Look it up, how it came to be in printed form, how it has stood the test of time. Has God protected it? When others have tried their best to destroy its existence and failed time after time. Good books come and go but the Bible stays the course year after year. Oh don’t take my word for it, check it out for yourself. Or believe someone else. I did that in college and because I did I made the lowest grade I ever made. We were given an assignment to have finished before the semester was over and it was to be half our grade. Well many said they weren't going to do it and said “he won’t fail the whole class.” Sounded good at the time until just before the end of the semester the teacher said “if you don’t have the work done you will fail this class!” I wrote that to say that those I listen to didn’t know.
