Vain Imaginings





As with anything conspiracies are a part of daily life. From 9/11 to the birth certificate of the President of the United States being fraudulent, the list is forever growing. Today we have a new conspiracy. I guess I wouldn't go as far as saying new but it's gaining  and garnering more attention. It first reared its ugly head in relation to what took place with Rodney King; a much widely publicized event.
There is a new ignorance brewing that is placing God at the forefront of killing individuals. Don't misunderstand, when we look at Old Testament scriptures, God has told his leaders kill everyone in the city, man, woman, child, because no good will ever come from them.
First, I would like to say I believe in the inerrancy of the word of God, but do I believe everything that is written within each book; NO! We have to understand how to study the Bible. This understanding can take some time but let me give you a few short examples.
Anything written in italics was put there by the translators. Look at the word Easter. A celebration people erroneously involve themselves in each year,  clearya secular non-Biblical holiday. The King James Version is the only book that translates it as Easter, the other Bibles translates it correctly as Passover. That's a huge sacred cow that has been knocked over. The second cow that needs to be tipped over is the book: Revelation or Apocalypse. God is going to reveal something from his word. The book of Revelation is the final book or chapter that reveals what will happen. The problem with it is it contains numerous symbols and allegory which means mystical. So in reading, should everything should it all be taken literally?
