      Hello brother Raj. It is good that you have the zeal for truth but it is time you know the bible was severely corrupted by the devil and his evil servant false apostle paul. Jesus gave us a Holy Law whose foundation is " love one another and all the creatures of God. Love is the fulfilling of law for love is of God and God is love." Yea brothe , if you still devour your mouth with flesh, you are indeed guilty and can not be righteous. I beseech you to read what will save your soul not what will destroy you. Here is the link to the uncorrupted Gospel of Jesus Christ. Read and truth shall set you free.

      Brother Raj, thank you for your honesty. But if you truly claim to believe The True God, the Eternal All, you should heed his warning through his Son Jesus Christ. This kingdom of the world is ruled by the evil king which is why there is too much evil, yea even the Holy Word was corrupted. so brother Raj, it seems to me you are disregarding all this but God's Son warned his disciples beforehand that all this will come to pass. So brother Raj, I beseech you to listen to God's Son words for his Truth will save your soul given that you obey his Holy Law whose basis is " Love one another and all the creatures of God. Love is the fulfilling of the Law for love is of God and God is love."
      Peace and love from Jesus to you brother Raj.

      @@zackbeni9215 the bible is uncorrupt. You seem like a troll... haven't you heard, you should not add scripture/beliefs to the bible. Read the Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. He goes over the reliability of the bible and how it is unchanged. I wouldn't get truth from a random website on the internet either, just fyi.

      Certainly your response shows an abundance of ignorance regarding the Bible, its great corruption and inconsistencies. Your suggested man Lee Strobel, is also ignorant as you are.
      There are things which are blatantly obvious that they can't be hidden! And such are the numerous inconsistencies found in the Bible.
      Moreover, you are utterly ignorant of who wrote the Bible and what their intentions were. The Bible was assembled by Mystics who even composed the four synoptic Gospels as they are now and thus if they are to be rightly understood, they must be interpreted mystically and by mystics or at least by those well versed in their symbols.
      Yes you are right in implying that I don't follow Jesus Christ since I OF COURSE don't follow him ignorantly as you mainstream Christians are wont to do, for you only follow the letter which is dead and utterly miss the Spirit of his words. Something which he emphatically warned you to not do.
      I ardently follow the Esoteric or Inner Truth that lies hidden in his words and veiled to the vulgar men like the mainstream Christians. It is that higher Truth of realizing or finding the Christ within each Man that Jesus, the teacher of righteousness, secretly taught his disciples of the inner circle.
      This is the Perfect Way, the "Narrow Way" which you ignorantly spoke of when you don't even tread it-unfortunately- since it is such that a Man can not rightly and genuinely follow that which he is unaware of.
      The mainstream Christianity and its cherished gross tenets are Christian by name only. It is a system that is exploiting that lofty name in order to sustain itself and prevent its own destruction as moths do suck out vitality from their prey.
      But such a system based on heinous lies is-as the house built on sand- bound to ultimately perish.
      *Mysticism-a term synonymous to Spiritualism in its True and Highest sense- is the study of, not merely spirits. but of SPIRIT or God. It is the science of All Being or God since He is All that is.
      Yea, God is both that which sees and that which is seen. He is in All and All is in Him. It is by His "Life and Substance"- terms symbolized by " Wine and Bread", " Blood and Body" respectively- shed or given before the foundations of the world, that the whole universe and the beyond exist.
      Jesus therefore is not God, but the typical representation of God. He was chosen to be the medium of the Most High and thereby representing Him on earth. The lofty words he uttered and others like those of John chapter 1, WERE NOT referring to him but to the One who was in Him namely, the Only begotten Son of God or by His Hebrew name, "Adonai". It is He that whoever believes in Him, He shall give the power to become the Son of God.
      What a great error then to make Jesus the Man, the Only begotten Son of God!

      Hey guys, I am so glad that everyone is here seeking the Lord. I do agree with the the book of John being a great credible source to seek and find truth in the light and face of Jesus Christ. However, I also believe that the bible is the LIVING word of God and not merely another book dependent on translations and finite languages. God created all things and he created the many languages when he scattered the people in Genesis (chp11). If God created all these and told Abraham that the gospel shall be made known to ALL nations even unto the ends of the earth. How shall we say that one language is the gospel we must swear by. The message we cling to and are saved by is God himself... Jesus Christ alone (once again you can’t go wrong with John). But how could a Native American women in the 1800s receive Christ? Or even someone today lacking an english education? God who created all things is everlasting. These things on earth, including the tongues of man(languages), are finite. The cool thing is: God uses all things for his glory. Even a discussion like this is just hot air, but what I am speaking is the truth that is written in the Bible (God’s word). “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever(Isaiah 40:8). In Galatians Paul explains what a false teacher is and gives credibility as to why the message he is preaching is not his own, but the same message of Jesus Christ and therefore showing his credibility. That being said, there is great things to be found when seeking the original text and language of the Hebrew scriptures and so on, but the SUBSTANCE of our message, our faith, and the entire Bible is Christ Jesus. Ultimately I definitely encourage you and ask you friends to join me in searching the scriptures for yourself with earnest prayer for God to lift the veil from our eyes so that we might see the fullness of his glory in truth. I challenge to compare Paul’s message to the other books in the Bible and I particularly love Romans Chapter 8.
      Just remember how we were saved: By faith and Grace alone. I got really into studying and wondering, ’wait, which translation is the “right one” and seeking with pure intentions. I was also learning Spanish at the time and still am. I came to that realization of how God uses all languages and people for good and for his glory, despite our finite flaws. It is amazing how these translators worked so hard to provide us with the word of God in a language that we could understand and seek for ourselves, no longer relying on priests to read the latin vulgate. Instead we rely on the great high priest (Hebrews 4:14-16) Jesus.
      Search the scriptures for yourself. Listening to John Piper is great, for he preaches from the word of God. Ultimately brother, I will be praying for you and I hope you do the same. I pray the God would give you grace and open up your heart and mind and busy life to allow you to spend more precious time with him in his word. Prayer is huge and I have seen this in own life in every season whether I am busy, close, or distant from God. He is always with us and he hears our prayers. Have faith and may God’s will be done in our lives.
      I just wanted to share the truth with those who are seeking. Always truth in love. I love you guys and my heart goes out to all who are struggling or don’t know Christ.
      God bless you and may he grant you sight.

      Dannyboyz A LOT of people (myself included) have this issue. Satan hates when you sit and actually read the word of God. My advice is to never read in bed - try sitting at a desk, actively circling some key words and passages (active reading helps you stay awake), and try not to read when you’re tired or it’s near your usual nap/bed time. I also recommend an audio Bible - I use this while I’m driving or doing other tasks so I can still have my Bible time even when I can’t physically sit and read. Hope this helps!

    When I’m busy cooking which takes me at 1-2 hours a day when I get home I choose a chapter in my bible app and just let it play on its own and I listen. I guess it’s good to multitask. Realistically it’s better to do both but spiritually we do need to sacrifice ourselves for our Lord, for our God... in this case to read his word.

    Haha John... Going to bed earlier and waking up earlier is not always a choice God allows, God does require x amount of sleep to perform for him in the next day. I only get 3 1/2 hours of sleep each night, any earlier and it could be medically unsafe LOL! Yes it was maybe 4 1/2 hours, I could survive the pain, but their has to be a limit otherwise a person wont be able to perform by Gods design.

      Really though... even that is not enough in my opinion 66 books, need to translate into application. 30 minuets is just not going to do. But sometime God does call us to be busy there are alot of verses to support this. Just about everybody in the Bible is called to be busy. I think the question that the person is asking only mildly usefull and actually kind of pointless, because although I would magicly like for there to simply be more time in the day, its just not the reality that God has given us. However... I think one thing I am also wondering of is I think this is also a result of previous sin which pulls us further away from God. God might be calling us in a season of work right now, but sometime God puts us in seasons of less work and focus on his word. If we fail to focus on his word when he had previously placed us in that season... UHHH OHHHHH That is going to put us in a really bad situation.. because now we are not prepaired for the season of work. Satan LOVES THIS. There is your TRAP! Maybe plan to figure out how your going to finish your current season God has put you in first as fast as possible. Curious what are others opinions on this strategy?
