JESUS TOOK THE SCRIPTURES LITERALLY

Do You Take the Bible Literally?
What About All Those Death Sentences for Just About Everything??


♪♥ CLING TO THE BIBLE♪♥

I DO take the BIBLE Literally-any other way would be Insulting GOD's intelligence, as if HE didn't know how to say what HE meant...or worse-calling HIM a deciever and a liar.

If someone says something they Don't mean-They are LYING. GOD does not lie.

What about hidden shades of meaning? THERE are no shadows with GOD. JESUS is the TRUTH and JESUS is the LIGHT. There are no 'shadows'.

GOD's knowledge being much higher than ours, we will never cease learning from HIM. As long as we are seeking HIM, we will come to know more and more. Of course, we don't "get it ALL instantly" and we do keep understanding more and more, as the BIBLE says, line upon line, and precept upon precept. However, it is ALL written Clearly and straightforwardly. GOD knows our ...humaness-even better than we do! HE knows how little our minds can take in comparison to HIS. HE send us thousands of messengers---HE WANTS US TO "get what HE is saying!"

Those who DO NOT Believe What GOD says are in sin...for their lack of faith, and essentially, they are calling HIM a liar when they do not believe what HE says in HIS BIBLE.

Remember, without faith, it is impossible to please GOD...and...Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of GOD.

NOW:
About the death sentences (in Deuteronomy & Leviticus-the LAW)..it IS pretty grim, isn't it?

HOWEVER a HOLY GOD demands no less than ABSOLUTE PERFECTION & HOLINESS of the people HE is going to let share HIS space with HIM.
GOD is TOTALLY PURE and HOLY...HE LOATHES and DESPISES sin of every nature.
HE doesn't contain HIMSELF against it, either. A FIRE comes out of HIM to CONSUME sin.

What to do then? Here are HIS beloved people, who HE created out of LOVE, and there they all go - sinning all over the place! What is HE going to do? DEATH to everyone? NO. GOD in HIS great love, said, LOOK, I WILL PAY the death penalty for mankind's sins. So, JESUS (a.k.a. Immanuel-GOD with us-)comes down to earth on a mission-to die in place of sinful men. HE accomplishes HIS mission on the cross, and the 3rd day raises from the dead-Conqueror over death, hell, and the grave. NOW, thanks to HIS Supreme sacrifice, HE has the RIGHT to FORGIVE & CLEANSE all those who come to HIM in search of cleansing and forgiveness...HE also has the POWER to give them life with HIM in heaven forever.

Those who like their sins more than they wish to be cleansed from them...those who never go to JESUS for forgiveness and cleansing-will DIE in their sins---and suffer e t e r n a l l y in the lake of fire.

A HOLY GOD DEMAND HOLINESS.
THE CREATOR GOD
GETS HIS WAY.
So, your dad saying, "It's my way, or the highway.!.."
He got that from GOD, yeah.
