Very interesting site about religions of the world. Check it out.

Bible Code... or Coded Language?

Scroll down to read about it.

Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

How can we possibly understand the meaning of the above verse? Questions like this can only be answered after learning the spiritual meaning of all keywords in the verse.

Luke 24:45 Then OPENED He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.

This is exactly what this site is about.

The bible is much like a jigsaw puzzle or a journey. It is a whole comprised of its many parts. It cannot be understood by simply reading it like an ordinary book, but rather by fitting each piece into its proper place.

The written word IS HIDDEN from the carnal mind.

Think about it. From birth, how do we learn to communicate with others?

As children we have to learn the words and then the meaning of each word. The first word I probably learned was momma. I did not know what it meant; I just knew if I said it, I got attention. The second word was probably dada. It did not mean anything either. Then someday I associated momma with mother and dada with father; the words had meaning. Once I realized those words had meaning, I understood that all words had meaning, I just had to figure out what that meaning was.

Many words in the bible have a spiritual meaning. Try this.

In genesis the bible says Adam and Eve were naked and were not ashamed. They were not ashamed because they did not know they were naked.

Look up every scripture in the bible that uses the word naked or nakedness and you will get the spiritual revelation of the words.

We have already done this and the revelation was this:

The bible says, their eyes were opened. Their spiritual eyes were opened AFTER they ate of the TREE OF KNOWLEDGE of good and evil. They began to realized they were naked of understanding and had very little or no truth.

After they ate they hid themselves behind the trees in the garden and began to cover up with fig leaves, remember the fig tree that Jesus cursed, these are the same leaves they were sewing together to cover their nakedness.

Check it out you will be shocked and amazed at the true revelation you will receive from the spirit of the written word.

To summarize the teachings of Jesus and all the bible prophets

In short, every chapter in the bible is written by wise men warning us about false, carnal manna , made religions.

The bible says, LEAN NOT to thy own understanding.


Why?

Because you can not wash your robe in the blood of a lamb and make it white, NEITHER do stars or trees talk, walk, faint or clap their hands, and we cannot eat his flesh or drink his blood and a dead person cannot bury a dead person.

I found the spiritual meaning of the word blood is teachings, and it was revealed to me by the spirit of the written word as I studied to show myself approved a teacher that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth.

The real shame is when we refuse to repent of our error.

Workmen are needed who are willing to stand up for the truth. But the workmen must be retaught, just like Paul, Nichodemus and I.

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life

Our minds are filled with a bunch of (spirits) words (beliefs) . He cast out the evil spirits with his words. When you turn on the light the darkness has to go.

Why do we hate the light and love darkness?

The bible cannot be read and understood

like reading a story book or a newspaper.

Throughout history man has used coded languages. They used (and continue to use) them for many reasons.

Some use codes to safeguard secrets. Others use codes to escape persecution. In biblical times, men of learning did much the same, making extensive use of metaphors, personification, and other literary devices to disguise their message, and escape persecution or death.

For example they used the light to refer to truth, or those of learning, and the darkness to refer to untruth, the unlearned. To a layman, the text was, by and large, incomprehensible. But to those taught the word, it made sense, and it was a secret way to communicate.

For a great many centuries, only those taught the truth understood the book, and the unlearned could not read it, literally or metaphorically. However, with the invention of the printing press and computers the bible became accessible to virtually every family and no longer was the learned only reading it, but the unlearned also, who try to comprehend the text literally.

This mistake is the reason for most of the worlds problems

All bibles should come with WARNING labels!

Look at verses below and you will know why. Have you ever seen the snake handlers on television? The below verse is why they believe they should handle serpents. They think it means just exactly what it says.

Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Do we really believe what the bible says?

Doesn't common sense tell us not to handle serpents?

New tongues = After WE are converted and born again of the spirit of the written word we speak with new tongues. We will begin to speak with the tongues of Isaiah, Matthew, Paul, Jesus and all the other bible prophets. New tongues means you no longer are thinking and speaking with familiar spirits (our old carnal teachers tongues).

The Bible CANNOT be understood like reading a novel or newspaper. WHY???

Because!!! We cannot EAT HIS FLESH, DRINK HIS BLOOD or wash our robe in the BLOOD of a lamb and make it white. Neither does the knowledge of good and evil grow on a tree. STARS AND TREES DO NOT sing, talk, walk, faint, clap their hands or have a king over them

CHECK OUT THE EVIDENCE...

And unto the angel (minister) of the CHURCH in Sardis write.

Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art WRETCHED, AND MISERABLE, AND POOR, AND BLIND, AND NAKED:

18 I counsel thee to BUY of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the SHAME OF THY NAKEDNESS do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

How can we possibly take this verse at face value or literally?

Surely the church was not filled with a group of MISERABLE POOR NAKED BLIND people.

What does it mean they were poor naked and blind? Verses like this one can only be understood by doing word studies.

With AN OPEN MIND, lets reason together, use wisdom and study the bible and lookup the words naked, nakedness, blind, rich and poor everywhere mentioned in the bible and it will interpret itself.

DO THE SAME WITH ALL THE KEYWORDS IN THE VERSE.

The key words in this verse are: rich, goods, wretched, miserable, poor, blind, nakedness, buy, gold, fire, eyes, raiment, white, tried, clothed. Your spiritual eyes will be opened.

Then you can say "I was blind but now I see."

AFTER WE LEARN THE SYMBOLIC MEANING OF EACH OF THESE WORDS, THEN AND ONLY THEN CAN WE READ AND RECEIVE THE CORRECT SPIRITUAL MESSAGE IN THE VERSE.

The whole bible is written THE SAME WAY.

SIMPLY READING, leaning on our own understanding, is the reason we have all the different religions.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with ALL thine heart; and lean not unto THINE OWN UNDERSTANDING

WHY????

Because!!! We cannot EAT HIS FLESH, DRINK HIS BLOOD or wash our robe in the BLOOD of a lamb and make it white. Neither does the knowledge of good and evil grow on a tree. STARS AND TREES DO NOT sing, talk, walk, faint, clap their hands or have a king over them

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Isaiah 29:11 And the vision OF ALL is become unto you as the words of a book THAT IS SEALED, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:

Isaiah 13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart (mind) far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept (Ideology) of men:)

The Bible CAN be a dangerous book.

2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

Fleshly, carnal, private interpretations are a huge part of the world's problems, here and abroad. There are many dangers when we try to read and interpret spiritual books with our carnal mind.

CHECK OUT THE EVIDENCE...

CARNAL, FLESHLY THINKING along with private interpretations has caused division world wide. EXTREMIST. Some say I am a Buddhist, Christian, Islam, Baptist, Catholic, Pentecostal and etc. Leaning on our own understanding also causes early death, fear, snake handling, drinking poison, Taliban, Afghan womens burqa, refusing medical treatment, cutting off right hands, gouging out right eyes, SUICIDE BOMBERS, martyrdom, Jim Jones, David Koresh, ANIMAL SACRIFICE, human sacrifice, Applewhite idiots, Israeli conflict, the Palestinian problems, Iraq Religions, insurgents , the 9-11-01 disaster and on and on.

There have been major human rights conflicts throughout history in which both or all sides quoted extensively from the Bible to support their positions. This has happened over human slavery, women's suffrage, the use of contraceptives, the roles and status of women, female ordination, how to discipline children, racial segregation, inter-racial marriage, abortion access, religious tolerance, equal rights for gays and lesbians, same-sex marriage, etc.

One of the reasons why emotions currently run particularly high in North America on topics like abortion and homosexuality is that many Christians on all sides of the issues sincerely believe that the Bible supports their viewpoint. They believe that they have interpreted the Bible correctly and have assessed the will of God on the matter. Many feel assured that God agrees with their beliefs, and that they are acting as a type of agent for God on earth.

2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

The BIBLE CANNOT be understood like reading a novel or newspaper.

Isaiah 29:11 And the vision of all has become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, "Read this, I pray thee"; and he saith, "I cannot, for it is sealed."

The educated man did not mean he could not read, he simply was smart enough to know trees do not talk.

Revelation 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of Him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.

Notice here there is nothing written on the front side ,the message is written within the study of the whole book and on the back side when you are able to get direct revelation from your work in the word.

Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

End of our carnal fleshly thinking, only happens after we are born again (learn the biblical language). All things become new and old things are passed away.

Revelation 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of Him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.

2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof?

3 And no man in Heaven, nor on earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

Here we find no one in heaven could read and understand the books of the Bible.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Discerned means closed sealed to the carnal mind, fleshly thinking.

Acts 8:30 and Philip ran thither to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

31 And he said, How can I, unless some man should guide me? And he besought Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

Here we notice the man having trouble understanding and knew he needed help.

2 Peter 3:16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things. Therein are some things hard to understand, which those who are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Romans 16:25 Now to Him who has the power to establish you according to my Gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began

1 Corinthians 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world for our glory

Colossians 1:26 even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to His saints.

Colossians 1:27 To them God would make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Revelation 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Why dost thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the WOMAN and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

(wo-man does not mean female)

John 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear MY WORD.

There is NONE that understandeth; there is none that seeketh after (truth).

Luke 9:45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not; and they were afraid to ask Him about that saying.

Consider what I say, and the Lord (thy god) will give thee understanding in all things.

Luke 2:47 And all who HEARD Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.

Luke 24:45 Then OPENED He their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures,

Matthew 16:12 THEN understood they that He bade them not to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Notice here, the disciples were carnal and thought he was talking about bread.

Matthew 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables, because seeing, they see not, and hearing, they hear not, neither do they understand.

Notice here what Jesus said. They did not understand spiritual language.

1 Corinthians 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. We know the milk part but not the meat part.

10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. The milk is gone.

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Beloved, believe not every spirit , but try the spirits to see if they line up with the written word, because many false prophets are gone out into the (church) world. How do you try the spirits?

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.

Judges 9:8 The trees went forth once to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.

Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for REproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Our pastors and ministers probably knows these things.


The problem is:

We, for the most part, do very little or no studying and understand, little or nothing about the bible.

We often choose our leaders, ministers, elders and deacons because they are good, respectable people; not because we are sure they have a great understanding of the scriptures. How could we possibly know if they truly understand the spiritual language if we do not have understanding ourselves?

It takes one to know one.

We will only tolerate ministers who believe the same things we do.

We hire and fire the ministers.

If they try to teach otherwise, we fire them.

Do we go to a doctor for treatment and then instruct the doctor so he can treat us?

2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause GOD shall send them strong delusion, that they SHOULD BELIEVE A LIE.

The scriptures can only be understood by doing keyword studies with an open mind. One word at a time.
