Please don't fall for the line it must be interpreted or you can't understand the Bible. Remember, Interpretation is from one language to another not from English back to Hebrew and Greek unverifiable copies and then back to English. That is not interpretation but the sleight of men. This is why we are required only to study and rightly divide the word, not interpret
Eph 4:14 That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
It is already interpreted and preserved for you in English no interpretation needed. What you need is prayer, study and understanding only.
Once I found the verse where God promised to preserve his words to every generation, I took God at his word and searched and studied for 7 years then when I had finished I had in my hand the preserved words of God, in a Book he had preserved to the English speaking generation (which is still on going), the fulfillment of his promise. I wont and cant do that work for you. It is a thing each person must do on their own and know in their own heart when they are done. I gave you clues as to what to look for so be diligent and search and compare and once you figure out which one has all and more of what I gave you, you have found a Bible you can trust to be preserved as God promised.
I learned something in the Mission field. I took with me a 68th edition of the Principles and Practices of Medicine, it is the medical school primer used by medical students at Harvard University. It is the basis upon their study. I read that book from cover to cover four times. I discovered something. Once I had understood this I knew something was not right. In med school they have you learn Latin because much of the med terms were in Latin, a dead language. If they just taught Med school in plain English terms with no Latin anyone could be a doctor.
You see they created a society just for Doctors known the medical fraternity, only the elite who can learn the dead language and pay their high Tuition costs of the education can be doctors. It is in itself a kind of cliche, a medical society of which only the few are members of. It is the same way now with Religious Studies. All secret societies require you learn their secret language, hand shakes, codes and rituals, and the Medical and Religious societies are not exempt from these.
BTW, I diagnoses correctly many diseases and conditions that Licensed Physicians in the country where I served missed or could not correctly diagnose. Why? Because I knew that medical primer inside and out and how to diagnose and prescribe a correct course of action to cure the diseases and conditions.
Like the Medical the religious tell you you have to learn dead languages, you have to learn them so you can Interpret the myriad of Non-verifiable Greek and Hebrew Documents. Non-verifiable means they only have copies of copies of copies. There are no, and I mean no, Original Autographs anywhere in the world, that these copies can be verified to be accurate. They too like the Medical Society, have high tuition costs and long educational process to get a Doctorate. And it too is a cliche of the religious Elite. I have a Doctorate in Theology but it is trash and means nothing anymore to me.
They want control over people, they are the ones who propagated the lie that the average people could not understand the Bible Starting in the late 300AD, Just like the medical fields says you can't understand how to diagnose and cure people. It is a way of controlling people.
Roms 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
1Ti 1:7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
The Bible was meant to set people free. God word tells us his word is not just for those who hold religious doctorates but for all men simple and wise,
Ps 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
Ps 119:130 ¶ The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple
Eph 1:16, 17 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Ps 119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
Col 1:9 ¶ For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Re 1:3 ¶ Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
You see the word of God is for all to know and understand, not just the religious scholarly Elite known today as Pastors, Reverends, Doctors or Teachers. They want you controlled for money.Today's ministries are multi-billion dollar industries Manipulating the world for their own pleasure. Their ministries are patterned after their own understanding and not that of God, replacing themselves with Israel complete with a physical temple building, rituals,ceremonies, and sacrifices. They handle the word with deceitfulness and craftiness to take hold of men and control their lives and endanger their spiritual future.
Tit 1:10, 11 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
If you learn one thing from this, let it be YOU can understand the Bible and YOU are to study it and apply it to YOUR LIFE. And to stop believing the lie of the religious Elite.

I originally made this reply to a member It may be removed because it has drifted off topic in that thread.
But It is something no one talks about. It is the fact the Religious schools and Organizations have created a Religious Society just as the Medical field has, one that requires certain things be followed and done in order to receive in the end your Doctorate. I am an insider and have seen it and participated in it and know what I am sharing is true.
My reply has the details from the lies that there is no Bible that is whole, complete, accurate and infallible while they teach that the Bible is true, accurate, infallible and without error. That is as far as their interpretation goes. And that one must learn to interpret the Bible correctly to understand it. Also the fact that the whole schools of religion were created to control who teaches and does ministries around the world. they do so by making people think they must understand dead languages and their forms of interpretation of religious documents before you can teach the Bible, and I quote, "correctly".
The goal of this thread is to open the eyes and let people know about the controlling Elitist Status of the Religious leaders.

The simplist way is found in the fact that none follow the instruction of God to "rightly divide the word of Truth" as found in 2 Tim 2:15.
They all will use the verse but leave off at this point. to do so would kill their ministries because they have in the simplest terms "replace Israel with their churches.
They blend all three of the preached Gospels found in New Testament scriptures into one conglomerate gospel. in so doing they have you following doctrines and teaching that are for Israel and for their kingdom. Grace is mixed with works and much more.
while they do teach the correct view of Jesus as the incarnation of God and some other doctrines correct much of what is taught is out of context to fleece their flocks of their hard earned money using the tithing system that was given to all Israel by Moses.
When the Bible is taken and used as these have done they have perverted God's words. This is why there are 350 plus versions of the Bible created to promote the teaching of men over the teachings of God. Because of not trusting God's word to preserve them to every generation they have relied on their own minds and in essence they have become god's in place of God to say they preserved his words correctly in a plethora of versions that contradict, have deletions and have changed internal doctrines.
Sorry there is a Divine, God inspired and breathed word and I hold it in my hand. Because God has preserved it in a book that has all the verses, defines every word in it by the context without need of English, Greek and Hebrew dictionaries or word study tools. It also has a divine built in cross-reference system that uses his words, phrases, and verse to connect scripture with scripture. As you study the Holy Ghost will teach comparing spiritual with spiritual using the internal cross-referencing system. There have been few that have found this system because they do not believe God and do not trust in his words.
Your humanitarian claim falls short and is just as flawed as their schools of religious Elite and their Organizations. Every church I have been too in the US and abroad follows the same erred flawed system of theology and teachings and the men that run them from top to bottom of the rung all are in it to make money. The organized church is used as a job not as a calling to teach truth. And if any feel they are teaching the truth, it is the what I have already described a blended gospel brouhaha to just fleece people out of money every week and have no ill conscious over it. Because they are just teaching the word as these religious schools and churches have taught.
This is why I believe that there is none who has faith. And explains Jesus words when he questioned, Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
As for me I will trust God and believe he has done and will do what he says. I will live the life that pleases him, I will lead my family and trust only in his son Jesus Christ's work of his cross for my salvation. When the end comes all will see and know the truth and I will have lost nothing.

I have stopped searching long ago and am on the journey heaven bound.
It is true, my God and Lord Jesus Christ I have never seen face to face, however he saved me from the end of my own gun, changed my life, set me free from drugs, cigarettes and alcohol, he made me whole, he has led my life for over 22 years and never let me down, and most recently secured me a house with a 7 year 3% loan. Not to mention he blessed me with a godly wife and three wonderful children, two cars, riding lawn mower, a house full of things we could never buy on our own. Food and clothing galore and much much more.
I don't have to see him to know he is real. the evidence speaks for itself.
And like I said your lies are just as dangerous as those of the religious elite if not more so.
Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Eccl 6:2 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth
Matt 4:8, 9 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
I don't have doctrines of which you speak of.
It seems Jesus was all about doctrine after all. You err not knowing the word of God.
John 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
John 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

quote me where did I ever say you are "a Liar"?
No Where. However your Teaching lies does not make you a liar for you probably learned it from someone else and you are ignorant of the doctrine you teach being false.
I fully disagree with the humanistic indoctrination of Christianity as you claim or Judaism as you claim.
Are there some who have brought in Humanism and Worldliness into the church and mingled it with Christian doctrine? Yes
But your claim goes beyond that.
No you are more of a false teacher, who has numerous times tried to high jacked the thread to promote your humanistic agenda claims.
Start your own thread on the subject.
This is not the place for your junk.
As far as the materials God has given me it is his blessings so take it up with him. It is our lot in life to live and enjoy the work of our hands, to enjoy our families and to lead them in truth for this is our lot in life.
I served and sacrificed for over 15 years in the mission filed and had little to nothing except the roof over my head. So if God chooses to bless me in this life then it is his righteousness and his doing. I will only praise him for it.
There is nothing wrong in having material thing as long as they don't rule your heart. Things are necessary in this life but they don't rule me nor do I live for them, I live for him who saved me.
I am spiritually zealous for my God not religiously zealous for him unless of course you mean I am zealous for him daily, then of course I am.
God has not asked any of us to give up and live with nothing. That would not be able to keep his words to take care of our families if we did.
