Welcome

Welcome to my blog. I am happy you have decided to visit. I will do my best to keep it up. Most of my posts will be bible related and I hope that they are true and encouraging.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Hebrews 2:9

"But we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor."
Hebrews 2:9

Earlier in this passage it mentions that we do not see everything (At Present) in subjection to Him. "But we do see Jesus" What a sobering thought that while we currently have a skewed view of things or at least things do not appear as they ought to . We do , this passage says, have the opportunity to see Jesus. WE SEE JESUS! Its one thing to wish things would be different or to simply long for the world to be set straight. When we SEE JESUS, we see that death and sin have been conquered. We see that there is hope, because HE LIVES. So when life stinks, and it often does, Look upon Jesus. "Well, you say, how do I do that?" Well, saturate yourself in The Scriptures. Jesus tells us in Luke 24:27 "that all of the scriptures are concerning Him." If you want to see Him, spend time in the Words that testify about and reveal Him to us!

What is Biblical Inspiration?

We believe that the Bible is “inspired.” This is not the idea that the Bible is inspiring, like a good novel or comic strip depending on your reading tastes. The Bible is inspiring, but that’s not the point. The doctrine of inspiration has to do with its source. Inspiration is the belief that the Bible came from the very mouth of God, that it contains his very words. Paul is encouraging his friend Timothy to persevere in his preaching, and writes this.
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17, ESV).
“Breathed out” is a helpful translation. There was not a word in the Greek language to describe what Paul wanted to say, so Paul did what Greek allows him to do — he made up a word. He took the word “God” and the word “breathed” and put them together. Scripture is God-breathed; the words came from his very mouth.
Peter says the same thing using the imagery of being “carried along by the Holy Spirit.”
“No prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:20-21).
