Anonymous asked: Well, the Apocrypha isn't really needed, it just shows us more of the Old Covenant. The New Testament has never been altered, except by Jehovah's Witnesses who claim Jesus isn't God as man but Michael the Archangel as man. So, no, these books don't attribute to my religious beliefs in God, but they are good reads and you should try to find it. My grandparents let me loose in a...

Anonymous asked: When Martin Luther put together the 66 Book Bible, he only had a Hebrew Old Testament. Since Bible's were not accessible to him, due to the Catholic and Orthodox Church not wanting to take the scriptures out of context, he didn't know about the other books. The 66 book Bible became the tool of the Protestant reformation, which I've realized is vastly incomplete. In Christ's...
chriswerms asked: not used. When Jude quotes I Enoch, he does not attribute it to Scriptures. Paul references two Greek writers but does not tell us that they were inspired by the Spirit but are used as illustrations.
chriswerms asked: (Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church.) The Apocrypha, as a whole, can be a very useful thing to read. The Apocryphal Literature tells us a lot about Jewish belief at the times of their writing and they give a great look into the work of God and the work of men in the time period between the Exile and 6 BC when Jesus was born. But they are not divinely inspired, nor do they claim to be the...
chriswerms asked: Writing in the Apocrypha, if the 67-77th books of the Bible should, as a whole, coincide with the teachings of Scripture, but they don’t. “’The Shepherd’ of Hermas, for example, teaches the ‘necessity of penance’ and ‘the possibility of the forgiveness of sins at least once after baptism…The author seems to identift the Holy Spirit with the Son of...
Anonymous asked: Did you know that there were 11 books taken out of the Bible? There are 77 books. Look it up. The missing books are now blasphemously called, "The Apocrypha," and don't try to use the, "Those books aren't divinely inspired," b/c Paul said, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness," (2...

67th book of the Bible.
For those of you who don’t know, there are 66 books in the Bible. We read it, quote it, read it again, use it for guidance, carry it with us in our cars and on our phones. It’s a heavily read book.
But what about the 67th book? That’s you. You should live your life in a way that people would quote your example like they quote the Bible. Let’s be the kind of Christian that...

"Little children, keep yourselves from idols." 1...
We might think that idols are just referring to those statues people worshiped, but there is definitely a modern take to this. We can idolize anything: people, cars, books, music, food. We place those irrelevant things before God, which is so wrong. We shouldn’t idolize people or celebrities or shows or the internet. God is before all, He is better than all. We must be careful not to place...

Galatians
I’ve been reading Galatians the past few nights, and here are the few things I have learned from it, which I decided would be best to share with you all.
We definitely are not on this planet to please men. We are here to please God.
-If you check out chapter 1 verse 10, Paul talks about pleasing God rather than men. I think that one the most human tendencies we have is the...
I would like to apologize for not being productive...
Izz and I both are involved in the arts programs at our school.
And at our school
THE ARTS PERFORM YOU!
Meaning, we have no life anymore, except I do more than she does because jazz band just ended and she is now Stage Manager (whoop whoop!) of the school production.
However, I am going to work my tail off on filling the queue this weekend because of the crazy, insane week I have coming up....

Christianity: Defined by those outside
There was a post that basically said that the difference between Christians and atheists is that Christians won’t rob a bank because they’re afraid to go to hell because “God loves them so much” and atheists won’t do it because that’s the wrong thing to do.
Well, there are a number of reasons this caught my attention. One, is it really this bad in our society,...

"So then each of us shall give account of himself...
On Judgement Day, we will stand before God, and we will give an account for ourselves. Every word, every thought, every action. There will be no fingers pointed, no one to blame. It’s all us. God’s given us this life, and what are we doing with it? Are we going to get to Him and be able to say we did everything we could to glorify Him, or are we going to have to say we spent our time...

"Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for...
Everyone knows what sexual immorality is, right? Well, just to be sure, it is essential sexual activities outside of marriage. However, sexual immorality is not limited to that. It can be any “immoral” acts of the sexual nature, such as pre-marital sex, rape, and all that good stuff that we are surrounded by in our world today. What am I getting at here? As teenagers, we are looked...

Hatred and dislike.
How easy it to dislike someone? To hate someone? We judge people, we refuse to love them. We don’t even realize it sometimes, that we act in this loveless way. But we are here to love everyone. Even that person who posts really annoying things on Facebook, or that other person who is rude in class. Everyone.
But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not...

"Therefore He is also able to save to the...
Jesus. is. able. God is able. We have to go to God through Jesus, it’s the only way (John 14:76). And Jesus is able to save us to the uttermost if we come to God through Him. Our sins were nailed to His cross, He saved us all. He is always working to intercede for us, to provide a way for us away from temptation. Our God is alive, and so is our Savior. He lives to save us. He can save us. He...

God is not our "cosmic butler."
He is not our personal maid, our go-to man when we need something done. No. God is our king, our father, our creator. He is omnipresent and omniscient. He is all-powerful and limitless. He doesn’t need us, but we desperately need Him. He doesn’t have to meet our needs and provide for us, yet He does. God wants our love, He longs for a relationship with us. How dare we use Him! How dare...
