((( TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT ))) THE EPISTLES ARE LETTERS, AND WHEN THEY WERE WRITTEN, THERE WERE NO CHAPTERS AND VERSES DIVIDING THE LETTERS INTO SECTIONS, WHICH WE NOW CALL CHAPTERS AND VERSES. THEREFORE, IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WRITER WAS SAYING, YOU HAD TO READ THE WHOLE LETTER IN CONTEXT. THE BIBLE IS NOW DIVIDED IN CHAPTERS AND VERSES, AND ALTHOUGH THAT MAKES IT MUCH EASIER TO MEMORIZE AND STUDY, MANY PEOPLE TAKE ONE VERSE FROM THE BIBLE, THEY TAKE IT OUT OF CONTEXT, AND USE IT TO PREACH A FALSE DOCTRINE. THE FIRST PERSON TO DIVIDE THE NEW TESTAMENT INTO CHAPTERS AND VERSES WAS ITALIAN DOMINICAN BIBLICAL SCHOLAR SANTI PAGNINI. (1470–1541) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXAMPLE: ((( ROMANS 3:10 ))) THIS VERSE CLEARLY SAYS THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO NOT ONE. HOWEVER, IF YOU READ TILL VERSE 18, YOULL SEE THAT GOD IS DEFINITELY NOT SPEAKING ABOUT A BORN AGAIN SPIRIT FILLED CHRISTIAN ROMANS 3:10 TO 18. 10) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11) There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12) They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13) Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14) Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15) Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16) Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17And the way of peace have they not known: 18) There is no fear of God before their eyes. NOW, DOES THIS SOUND LIKE HES TALKING ABOUT A SAVED SAINT OF GOD ? OR A LOST SINNER ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 JOHN 3:7. LITTLE CHILDREN, LET (( NO )) MAN DECEIVE YOU, HE WHO (( DOES )) RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 PETER 4:18. IF THE (( RIGHTEOUS )) ARE SCARECELY SAVED, WHERE SHALL THE SINNER AND THE UNGODLY APPEAR ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LUKE 1:6. AND THEY WERE BOTH (( RIGHTEOUS )) BEFORE GOD, WALKING IN ALL THE COMMANDMENTS AND ORDINANCES OF THE LORD BLAMELESS. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROV 18:10. THE NAME OF THE LORD IS A STRONG TOWER, THE ((( RIGHTEOUS ))) RUN INTO IT, AND THEY ARE SAFE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JOHN 9:31. NOW WE KNOW THAT GOD HEARS ((( NOT ))) SINNERS, BUT IF ANY MAN BE A WORSHIPER OF GOD, AND ((( DOES ))) HIS WILL, HIM HE HEARS. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROVERBS 15:29. THE LORD IS FAR FROM THE WICKED, BUT HE HEARS THE PRAYER OF THE ((( RIGHTEOUS ))). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 PETER 3:12 FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE OVER THE ((( RIGHTEOUS ))), AND HIS EARS ARE UNTO THEIR PRAYERS, BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST THEM THAT DO EVIL. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PSALMS 34:19. MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE ((( RIGHTEOUS ))), BUT THE LORD DELIVERS HIM OUT OF THEM ALL. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROVERBS 3:32. FOR THE FROWARD IS ABOMINATION TO THE LORD, BUT HIS SECRET IS WITH THE ((( RIGHTEOUS ))). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUESTION: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON CONFESSES ALL OF HIS SINS AS PER 1 JOHN 1:9 ? 1 JOHN 1:9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ANSWER = THE PERSON IS CLEANSED FROM ((( ALL ))) UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. THIS MEANS THEYRE RIGHTEOUS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ QUESTION: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON WALKS IN THE LIGHT AS CHRIST IS IN THE LIGHT, AS PER 1 JOHN 1:7 ? 1 JOHN 1:7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. ANSWER = WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP ONE WITH ANOTHER, AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST HIS SON CLEANSES US FROM ((( ALL ))) SIN. THIS MEANS THEYRE RIGHTEOUS.
