Spoiling Scripture

A HEBREW SAGE MIGHT SAY. . .We were called to be "witnesses" - not lawyers or judges.
Hebrew Scripture

SPOILING SCRIPTURE
"You shall not add anything to what I command you or take anything away from it, but keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I enjoin upon you." - "Be careful to observe only that which I enjoin upon you; neither add to it nor take away from it.'" [Deuteronomy (Devarim) 4. 2; 12. 32 Tanakh, Torah]

Only an absolute fool thinks he or she has received some "new inspired word from God." Nevertheless, there are an assortment of diverse cults who proclaim such, and many others who thoughtlessly follow the leaders of these religiously impious groups. These false prophets, cult leaders, continue to presumptuously explain away those Bible verses that they consider offensive, irrelevant, unimportant, or intolerable. There is a hell to shun, and those who teach and lead others are in danger of a stricter judgment and an even more severe punishment. [James 3. 1] "For we know Him Who said, 'Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,' says the Lord. And again, 'The Lord will judge His people.'" [Hebrews 10. 30]

The Bible is the inerrant, understandable, inspired Word of God. It is dangerous to impose some figurative meaning on a passage of Scripture to distort, or redefine it to our liking "handling the Word of God deceitfully." [2 Corinthians 4. 2]

The LORD Messiah Jesus, Himself gives a final warning to anyone who would subtract, add to, change, or revise His Holy Inspired Word in any form. "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this BOOK: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this Book. If anyone takes away from the words of the Book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the Holy City, and from the things which are written in this Book." [Revelation 22. 18 - 19] Whatever the Holy One does it is so that men will fear Him. [Ecclesiastes/Kohelet 3. 14]

No new revelation is needed, the Bible is more than enough for our salvation. The Holy Scriptures "are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." [2 Timothy 3. 15 - 17]



Sha’alu (Pray) for the shalom (Peace) of Jerusalem and all of Israel!
Blessings to all who love Zion! "Today I am causing My Presence to rest among you; if you sin, My Presence will leave you. But when Messiah comes, My Presence will remain with you permanently. Now you see the DIVINE Presence through fire, but with the advent of the Messiah you will see it clearly revealed, as it is written: ‘For eye to eye shall they see when God returns to Zion.’" [Tz’enah Ur’enah]

Good Post. Good Thoughts. All scriptures do indeed have their purpose.

but not all scripture is applicable today because the Old Covenant is dead and we have a new Covenant of Grace in Christ.

To the conservative originalist: try reading Dr Bullinger's book "How to enjoy the Bible" while the concept of "Covenant" implies an agreement between two people "Covenant was simply God's promise Frost to Abraham and then to the national of Israel. While what you read in the "New Testament" refers to the new Covenant . We as Non Jewish believers have no "Covenant" per se but we have received an adoption as sons of God through Grace. Read Ephesians and Colossians which is our "hope".

I am sorry but you really do not understand the scriptures in regards to Covenants.

God divorced Isreal. Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Sin of the world, not jews and any gentiles. Dr Bullinger needs to let5 the Holy Spirit lead him instead of some cemetary, er seminary
