GOD'S WORD (THE BIBLE)

    First, let me say that not all bibles are the same.  Some have interpreted
God's word on their own and written it as such.  The true word of God is
the Hebrew of the Old Testament and Greek and Aramaic of the New
Testament.  The King James, New American Standard, and The New
International Version are the best.  They are closer to the original and
not interpreted for you.  The King James has The Strongs Exhaustive
Concordance as a side book.  This book takes every word in the KJV
and gives the original word from the original manuscripts and gives its
meaning.  It also has every scripture that has that word in it.  This is great
for bible study when one seeks what God is truly saying.
        Too many Christians today deny the total truth of the bible, the word
of God.  The  percentage of people who call themselves Christians and
still say there was no virgin birth,  or that Jesus didn't raise, or that the bible
was written by men and therefore fallible is staggering.  If one believes in
the bible, it has to be all the way or not at all.  One cannot decide which
parts one wants to believe and which not to.  This is basing the bible on
their preconceived notions and opinions rather than their opinions on the
word of God.  This portion of this bible study site is dedicated to the word,
scripture, and it's being the infallible word of God.  
        It will be shown why one should know the word for a purpose other
than gaining the fruit of the spirit.  I am speaking of putting the word of God
in your heart, not just in your mind through memorization.  In all honesty, I
must say that memorizing the scriptures does little good.  If it isn't in the heart,
it won't have the faith to accomplish it's intended purpose.  Hiding it in the
heart is as simple as asking God (Jesus) for the truth and understanding of
his word.  If one is serious, God will be too.  I have spent no time in
memorization, yet when I need the word for some purpose, there it is.  I 
have grown to love the word and nothing in this world is more exciting than
finding some little nugget of truth.  It's like opening a Christmas present
when one is a child. It can be that way with you if you just make a decision
to know Jesus.  I'm not talking about knowing him for what you can get
either.  My brother told me the other day that he used to think 'when are
you going to shut up about that God stuff'.  Now, some 8 months later, he
loves it too.  I didn't push, I just love to talk about God and Jesus.  Now
he  does too.  It only takes wanting to, then it happens.  It's easy.  See the
section "THE NAME JESUS" in this bible study for more pertinent
information.
           God's word is full of promises but to receive them, one must take
the rest of his word too.  The promises come with demands and warnings
of denying his demands. If one takes it all, he finds the promises for they
are denied us if we do not accept the rest.  It is not that we pay a price
for them but rather become part of the family.  If we choose not to do
the whole word, we also decide not to be part of the family, just like it
would be here on earth if one of our children decided to go out on their
own rather than live by the rules of our household.  It's not that we kick
them our, though we might, but they make the choice.   

THE BIBLE CODES
            I have heard some men on the radio say that they didn’t believe in
them because the vowels can be put in as one wants to, achieving the desired
result.  If this is their feeling, maybe they should disregard the entire Old
Testament.  The same Hebrew words and understanding applied to the
Old Testament are used to find the hidden messages in the Codes.  Is God
sovereign over his word or not?  Is God capable of doing what the Codes
appear to do?  One must believe in the awesomeness of God’s abilities
before one can believe in the codes.  I, for one, am fully persuaded that
God is able to put layer upon layer in his word.  The findings in the codes
are all lining up with what the text says on the surface so I don’t understand
the unbelief. 
            When one takes the EDLS of the codes and the result is a line of
letters that is the same as a line of letters on the surface, why wouldn’t they
mean the same thing?  We are talking Hebrew here but if it was in English
would weave the same opinion?  Let’s say, for instance, that out of the
words that I have just written one takes every fifth letter and the result is
(it isn’t but we’re using an example) T-H-E-W-O-R-D-I-S-T-R-U-E. 
Since we are talking English here, we would most certainly believe that what
was said is “the word is true”.  If the same belief is applied to the Hebrew
and the result is a line of letters that says what we believe the surface says,
why wouldn’t the code line of letters be saying the same thing?  I find it 
harder to believe that God couldn’t, then to believe that he could.  I hope
you can see what I am saying here.  We are talking about God, not man. 
If the vowels are missing from the original text and it says what it says,
what’s the difference if they are missing from the codes? 
            For those who do not know what I’m talking about; there is a work
being done today, where one takes letters from the original Hebrew language
of the Old Testament at an Equal Distant Letter Sequence (EDLS) and the
result is another line of words.  Often times these words are about the very
subject of the surface text.  The odds of this happening by chance are way
beyond possibility.  God must have put them there just as he wanted them.
  This was the very reason that God warned three times in the Bible not to
change one jot or one tittle.  This meant that even the punctuation was
extremely important.  Why was God so particular about his word?  If it said
the same thing, what was the big deal?  One would be cursed if they changed
anything at all. 
            We are talking about men of God who are doing this work.  It isn’t
some skeptic that is doing this work.  If these are men of God, then why
would God let them continue with this work if it wasn’t real?  I speak of
one man in particular, Yacov Rambsel.  This man loves God above all else.
He has seen things in the codes that go way beyond what can be written
down.  He has seen, in an instant, what would take more than the day to
get it written.  When God tells him to search a certain area for what he
seeks, there it is.  The devil doesn’t know the word like God, and would
certainly not give God glory for being able to do such a thing.  So where is
this phenomenon coming from?  It is either by chance, by the devil, by
man, or by God.  I choose to believe the latter.  God is able. This marvel
is to reveal the truth of the Bible and the reality that it is the word of God
himself.  I choose to believe.
