Just a few thoughts on today's Bible Class. In it, we read how God
warns against the silver tongued beguilement that abounds inside
mankind. Basically, beware, try and test what we hear or see, no matter
who appears to bring it to our attention. Obviously a very sobering piece
of advice and interesting one which the Bible requires . This advice is
repeated in the New Testament. Acts17 - the Bereans were more noble in
that when they heard a message they sought to prove whether the
message was true by testing it against the scriptural record. This
action is described as being noble or praiseworthy. Thomas often called
the doubter is mis-perceived as such, because he was in fact, doing the
Deuteronomy 13 test - basically I need proof! He should be named the
Verifier. This needs to be matched to believing in faith, yet although
often cited as such, faith is not blind. Hebrews 11v1-3. On the aspect of
beguilement, we are told Eve was beguiled by the serpent in the garden
of Eden. Hence the danger is present at the start. She was inexperienced
when facing that threat, - we thousands of years later are not. However the same recourse is/was available. What did God say on that matter? Always go there - we might not remember correctly. Always check, go forward on sure ground with confident steps, not with the mantle of assumption but the assurance of what the scripture saith. Remember Jesus walked by this rule and did not fall or fail call upon him in our time of trouble/difficulty.
ASK. Ask, Seek and Knock, are the three recourses we can follow, ask and ye shall receive seek and ye shall find. knock and it shall be opened unto you.

Is Jesus God? Most people who class themselves as Christians would say yes, of course, they believe that Jesus is God. They also believe that the Holy Spirit is God, and that God is God, they believe in what is known commonly as the Trinity. It is a teaching of the established churches, for hundreds of years, and anyone who does not believe in the Trinity is regarded as a non-christian, and a member of a cult. This talk examines what the Bible says, not what the church says, and what the Bible says has been the main stay and foundation for true Christians for thousands of years.

“We tell everyone that Christ was raised from death.
So why do some of you say that people will not be raised from death? If no one will ever be raised from death, then Christ has never been raised. And if Christ has never been raised, then the message we tell is worth nothing. And your faith is worth nothing. And we will also be guilty of lying about God, because we have told people about him, saying that he raised Christ from death. And if no one is raised from death, then God never raised Christ from death. If those who have died are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised from death, then your faith is for nothing; you are still guilty of your sins. And those in Christ who have already died are lost. If our hope in Christ is only for this life here on earth, then people should feel more sorry for us than for anyone else. But Christ really has been raised from death—the first one of all those who will be raised. I Corinthians 15:12-20”
