Do you think the Bible can deceive you?

- Has someone told you, "You can't read the Bible too much?" That is what I was told by the Amish community when I started reading and studying the Bible. I was told it will deceive me if I do read it too much. In the video, I describe how the Bible says the opposite, that we shall meditate on God's Word so that we will know the truth. I do mention my dad in the video, and I want to make sure to state that I love and respect my dad, no matter what he believes. Although we do not follow the Amish lifestyle and Amish culture, we do love the people.

You are an amazing and intelligent young woman. Very brave too...
Spot on! ❤
I’ve also heard “You don’t want to read too much, so you won’t be responsible.
You simply cannot read the Bible too much, the Word actually tells us: 2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Excellent. An evangelist I've watched on TV since 1987 always told the people watching, to not take what he says as the truth. To go to your Bible, and read and study what God has said about it. Finding out if what he (the evangelist) has told us is the Gospel or not. Which is why I've continued watching him all these years.
I come into agreement on this msg in Jesus Christ mighty Name, amen and amen. I also speak on my channel and when spreading The Gospel, that age does not matter to God because when the young man in the book of Job, I think his name is Elihu in 32 chapter
of Job vs 6,7,8 where God speaks of age and there is also another Scripture that says let no one despise you because of your age. God bless you and all, no one seeking Truth will find lies, especially in Scripture, in Jesus mighty Name, amen and amen .
Thank you! You are right, I checked Job chapter 32. That would have been a perfect Scripture to point out in the video. I highlighted it in my Bible. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. God bless you! 🙏
This does not only happen in the Amish. Many people believe that the Bible should not be interpreted to be 100 percent truth. Or people will twist verses of the Bible to say something else or what they want it to say. Thank you for sharing truth!❤
Amen! Great job, Martha.
Amen ,you are seeking God's truth ,great !! Keep seeking God and someday maybe you can wittness to your family ,but i am glad you are married and started a new family i hope and pray your husband is a believer / born again 🙏🙏👍🙂
Yes, he is. 😃
I pray for my family to someday see the truth. 🙏
Yes, I’ve heard Amish people say those things before, even call different versions of the Bible that are not KJV “Satans Bible”. They do not realize the danger they are in by saying these things! They have a fear of man over a fear of God. Also I always wondered why they always read the same scriptures in church and never read anything new. Probably because they never read any scriptures that would question their Amish traditions!
Hi there! 😄
I have noticed the same thing in church. You are exactly correct. Anything that the Bible says that doesn't fit into their Amish teaching, they choose to ignore.
If I may ask, what is the reason that you left the community?
@@AmishTransformed We (my husband and I) started having Bible study with some other Amish people and we read the NLT version and New King James Version, which is easier to understand , and we started noticing things that some Amish beliefs contradict. We prayed that the Holy Spirit would reveal to us if we are supposed to leave the Amish and it was revealed to us very plainly, through scripture and some dreams we had, that we are supposed to leave. It’s been over a year now since we left and we are much happier
That is beautiful! Seems very similar to what I went through. If we let God, he will reveal the truth to us, with the help of the Holy Spirit. Praise Jesus! Do you think you'd be interested in sharing your story on my channel sometime in the future?
@@AmishTransformed probably not for the time being, since my husbands parents said we may not ever see them again, and they have relatives and friends with phones who might see it and it would lessen our chances of seeing them again, but if we can see them again or if it looks like there is no chance of seeing them ever again then, yes we would possibly be interested in sharing our story
Okay, that is fine. I am sorry your husband (and yourself) have to go through the loss of his family. I had to do the same, and it can be hard. 🙏
you are blessed by God teaching you the truth! Luke 24:45 says that it is God who opens our minds to understand the Scriptures. Keep reading and you will never be deceived again!
As long as you are Christian and godly and dress modestly. You can go back and visit the Amish and they will accept you after a while. That is you can be a light to them.
But if you start dressing inmodestly, and start cursing and using the lord's name in vain. And smoking or using drugs. Then of course you will not be a light to them and they will not accept you much.
Perhaps, just perhaps you might want to consider another question. Do you understand how and why you learn? I say that because deception occurs because the deceived is not paying attention for several reasons whether you are not focused, you do not understand the intent of a message or mental complacency etc. This is why humans always strive for certainty and control. Deception is an excuse / rationalization or the minds approach, thus shielding the ego for one's lack of understanding or doing what is wrong because you failed to understand.
To get beyond this resign or surrender completely yourself to God and give Him your reigns of lust for control and certainty in this world because they are not yours as you possess neither. You are doing your best to manage them.
would you please tell us that does the Amish teach. I want to know more about the Amish believ system
I'm very curious about this. Did you ever find out what, exactly your father was worried you would read about? Is there something in the Bible he did not want you to know, or was he just generally worried you would misinterperate the scripture?
I was talking to him about how the Bible does not say that we have to be Amish all our lives because we were born there. That is what the Amish teach. The same thing about dressing in amish clothes and wearing head coverings... ect. and the Bible says we are to obey God first, above all, even our parents. When I pointed out Bible verses (which is uncommon in the amish), that is when he told me that he thinks I am reading the Bible too much, and it is starting to deceive me. He said there are more amish people who leave because the Bible decieves them. The reason why they say that is because it goes against their teachings.
In the bible Jesus tells us he is the way. There is the narrow way which leads to life, and the broad way which leads to destruction.
The bible does not deceive, people do.
1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you...
I am so thankful you found the Lord.
Very enlightening, wonderful job!
Would you please be specific. Give us some example of Amish teaching vs with the Bible says
Be specific please
Well, there's too much to list, so I am sharing more and more with each video. But for starters, they teach salvation through works instead of faith. And then, of course, they believe we can't know that we are saved. With that mindset alone, there are tons of things that they believe that don't match with the Bible. They believe it's a sin to leave the Amish, and you'll go to hell if you do.
Martha's followers may enjoy a UA-cam channel called Born Again Barbarian.
It is obvious that the Holy Spirit taught you as you read the Bible for yourself. Since the Amish do not teach much about Christ or the Spirit, I am interested to know when you were born again (John 3). Was it during the time you searched for answers in the Scriptures?
Yes, it was. Like a year and a half ago. Then I got baptised last August.
@@AmishTransformed Praise to our Savior Jesus! He rescued you out of spiritual darkness and given you His life.
Thank you very much. Good content. But the background "music" ist very disturbing in my opinion. Somehow psychedelic.
I'm sorry. I am changing it in my future videos.
I did change my music in other videos because some people said similar things. Thank you.
@@AmishTransformed Thank you! I don't need background music at all. Greetings from Germany the land of your forefathers.
2 Peter 3:16 I think Peter clarifies this very well. Some things in Scripture are difficult to understand and are distorted. Also Peter an apostle is identifying Paul's writing as scripture. I do enjoy your videos.
Keep reading your Bible!
Thanks for sharing the gospel!
Well spoken! Imo you have exposed the Amish as a cult. You are such a strong person 🫶🏻 (do you know the UA-camchannel Cults to Consiousness? I think it may interest you).
I have watched a few of cults to consciousness videos a few times.
I had a friend who was former Amish and Mennonite, and he told me that those groups absolutely refused to ever read Ephesians 1 as it contained things they refused to believe (God chose us...He predestined us). Instead of seeking to understand inspired truth, they simply ignored it.
Do you feel you should wear a little round lace veil? I feel being a little covered is good because the power of the angels in first corinthians. Thoughts.....
As you know, Amish women are taught they have to wear a head covering. I was confused as to why Christians (not Amish) did not wear head coverings. I searched for answers and prayed about it. I realized that chapter in Corinthians is often misunderstood. I don't believe there is anything wrong with wearing one, and there's nothing wrong with not wearing one. Remember, God doesn't actually care about that because He wants our heart more than anything. Wearing a head covering is not something that God commanded, and it should never be forced. I have a video coming out within the next couple of weeks about head coverings. If you're interested, you can stick around and listen to that one when it comes out. Also, in my searching, I'll share one of my trusted resources. Bibletalk.tv has a lot of Bible studies for almost every chapter of the Bible, and Mike Mazzalongo has a great way of explaining! ⬇️ I included the link.

@@AmishTransformed Thank you! :)
I have to say, I really love your name! My gram’s name was Martha!❤❤. She was my dad’s mom. ❤❤❤
Aww, thank you. I don't really like my name, but my parents apparently did. 😉
Yes
Martha, Do Amish believe in the true gospel? Do they believe that Salvation is only by grace and not by works?
Sadly, they do not. They believe they have to follow the church rules and obey all the 10 commandments, and they believe if you were born amish you have to stay amish in order to have a chance to get to heaven, and then you can 'hope' that God will let you into heaven one day. It is definitely a works based religion.
@@AmishTransformed Wow! I was part of Seven Day Adventist Church, and sadly they have similar beliefs. You have to obey all the 10 commandments in order to have a chance to go to Heaven. Big part of my family is from this church. I started to preach them the gospel
👍🙏
what does the Amish teach that is NOT in the Bible
If you use a Bible like NIV, New King James or many other "new"translations...the 1611 KJV Bible is the only bible I use...other translations have removed whole verses or words...there are 57,000+ words that have been changed or removed from the 1611 KJV Bible...be careful which translation you use because every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God gives perfect clarity and context to what is being communicated....God say My thoughts are not man's though & why God's Word is not to be interpreted by the thoughts of man... God's Word interprets itself by using other books of the Bible to spell out exactly what God's thoughts are...
Which KJV is the correct one? The modern KJV are not the same as the actual 1611. Which includes the apocrypha. Also there are about 22,000 differences between the first 1611 King James printing and the fourth revision in 1769. Personally I enjoy the 1560 Geneva Bible. A Protestant translation...... After studying this out to the extent of learning Greek I discovered the missing verses were added on over the years Erasmus did the best he could with what he had about 7 manuscripts that were incomplete. He used the Latin Vulgate to fill in his missing pieces. Modern scholars have about 20,000 manuscripts that predate what Erasmus had. So they are closer to the original.
I prefer the ESV. They all have errors minor as they are.... I do enjoy my original 1611 and read/ study it regularly.
The most important thing is I can lead someone to the Lord out of the vast majority of any Translation. And the vast majority of all translations agree doctrinally.....
Martha...If you haven"t already done so, read Gail Riplinger's book, New Age Bible Versions. It's a HUGE eye opener.
Why not simply trust the Word of God? Now you want to recommend some gnostic trash that just corrupts God's teaching...since when does any man have authority to provide clarity & new revelations to God's Word? Must be you think God can't open the eyes of those that seek Him so God needs help from some man or woman...
@@F-4PhantomII The book I recommended has nothing to do with any major Christian doctrine. It simply exposes the myriad of corrupt "modern English" translaions,, and defends the pure inerrant King James Bible
Lady read the 1611 king James bible❤
I use the Complete Newish Bible. It reinstates the originals names of people and places.
The kjb is the word of god. Learn to rightly divide the word. Study romans to Philemon
Romans is one of my favorite books!
@@AmishTransformed amen. Mine too. UA-cam pastor richard jordan. They will being continuing a study that will be a very long time.
Martha I just discovered you. I know your parents and where you lived, lol, not that that matters but would love to get together sometime!
I believe you are fulfilling God’s plan for you….for such a time as this!🤍
Hi,
God has been very wonderful to me!
Well, it seems like if you know who I am, I deserve to know who you are? 😄😉
I like your channel and I am happy for you that you saw the Amish beliefs are against what the Bible teaches and left. One thing that bothers me is the music in the background. Maybe you could lower the volume?
@@AmishTransformed hi yes of course! Kathryn Slabaugh.
My sister used to be in your church I believe. Delbert Rose…
That is absolutely correct! Thanks for reaching out! @@Countrygirllivin
@cynthiafisher9907
Yes, a few people have said something, and I am changing the music in my upcoming videos.
