 Thought #80
 

80. Do not force the word of God onto others. But speak it and open ears will gladly hear it. Speak it so that when the ears of a non believer have come open they will be able hear and begin to learn of the greatness of God. In time for the non believer the eye of the needle will open for them as well. All you have to do is speak of the Lord and those who are ready will come when they are ready.

 Thought #79
 

79. Do not fully question the word but the teacher. Do this with an open mind and soul. Do this with the belief in God, his son Jesus and while allowing for the Holy Spirit to enter your heart and soul. By questioning the teacher you may help others to understand what you already understand.

A secondary thought that came up with this one while discussing it with others is that it will also help bring to light the true nature of the teacher at hand. (The false prophets)

 Thought #78
 

78. The reader however is not fully at fault for who is to say the Bible was correctly translated into all languages or even by man himself. Thus who is to say that those who teach the word as we hear it today are teaching it correctly? Many throughout the world now use a translation of the original word a translation that was written to make the Bible easier to read. This does not make it the correct way to receive the word of God. God’s word can only be received in one’s heart through the Holy Spirit and the proper teachings of those who minister to the faithful.

A response received on this was not to question it but to help clarify it.

In many languages the user does not have certain words to replace the original words. It has been known to use one word or another that can completely change the meaning of what was said.

That is why whenever one speaks or reads from or of the gospel they should do it with an open mind and heart allowing for the spirit to enter. It through this method that proper translations are received.

 Thought #77
 

77. Did the writers of the Bible choose the correct writings of those who did the works that God required of them? Are all the documents one hundred percent in tact? And if not can it, safely be said in all certainty that writers of the Bible chose the correct words for the missing parts?

As these thoughts are on a page at another site they have been read in their fullest by others this thought has evoke some questions.
The best answer for just about every one that has come is this.

As we do not have the ability to read the ancient scripts and are of the Christian belief questioning the writtings is to be expected as we can not truly say one way or the other. As long as what you read you are able to accept within your heart you should be able to say, the gospel is writen as it should be for all of mankind to read and believe in. God would not allow his word to be changed by man beliefs alone. For a Christian it is normal to question so that one may understand. Always answer the questions so others may learn as you teach.
