Back in the early 1990s, six words turned my life upside down (actually, turned it right side up).
My pastor and I were talking about who carried Jesus‘ cross to Golgotha (something relatively minor). I made a comment, and he responded, “Where is that in the Bible?” I “knew” it was in the Bible. I had “known” it was in the Bible for practically all my life. I had been taught it in Sunday school as a young child. Of course, it was not in the Bible at all.
The six words.
Where is that in the Bible?
At about the same time, I took a course called Inductive Bible Study. This taught me to look carefully at what the Bible is actually saying, word by word. And to determine what each word means in its context.
So with both of these lessons in mind, I studied the Bible. I discovered that many things I believed were not true. I repented of specific things I once believed; that is, I changed my thinking.
Many people have erroneous beliefs about what God has revealed in the Bible. I made this blog to share some things I have learned from the Bible, that are not commonly known. I hope you benefit from this blog by getting a better understanding of the Bible. The better you understand the Bible, the better you understand reality, and the better you can respond to reality.
I believe everything in this blog is true. Certainly some of it is in error. (If I find out something is not accurate, I will remove it or change it.) But I hope and pray that most of it or at least some of it is correct. Like the Bereans (Acts 17:10-11), you must search the Scriptures yourself to determine what here is correct and what is not.
I hope this glorifies God and His Word and also benefits you.
Thank you for reading it.
