| The Gospel according to WOB (Wyatt, OTCP, Bonnie). Some of their favorite scriptures explained for those of you have been misunderstanding these and others over the years. Glad I found this, it clears up a lot.Mat 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, in this era Himself occasionally takes our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses when it’s in His will to do so which is seldom and based on capricious whims.Heb 13:8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, but not to day, nor for ever.Mat 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come when Jesus returns to this earth. Thy will be done in earth when you can, as it is in heaven just not yet because that’s impossible.Mat 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread spiritually because we know you couldn’t really feed us literally today like Jesus did to the 5000. we don’t expect you to take care of our physical needs.Php 4:13 I can do a few things occasionally through Christ which strengtheneth me but certainly not all the time and I know this is just hyperbole anyway.Php 4:19 But my God shall supply all your spiritual need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus because we know the idea that you would be Jehovah Jireh to this generation is not realistic and is just another example of hyperbole.Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be given many chances to change their minds and you probably didn’t really mean this anyway. After all, a kind compassionate God would never condemn anyone to an everlasting hell (which is only a euphemism anyway).Mar 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues (if they take the time to go to language school somewhere);Mar 16:18 They shall take up serpents (not really); and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them (ifthe antidaote is available of course); they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (this was all only for the apostles and a lot of what you wrote about what you did and they did is probably more examples of exaggeration and hyperbole) (and remember this wasn’t in the Textus Sextus or some other early manuscripts anyway so none of this is for us today).Luk 1:37 For with God nothing shall be possible except for what your own abilities and God?-given giftings can do.Joh 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.Joh 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do (total lies and hperbole meant to confuse the rubes wink, wink; because I go unto my Father.Joh 14:13 And whatsoever (in the Greek whatsoever means no thing there is a misunderstanding here) ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.Joh 14:14 If ye shall ask any (any in the Greek means some and it is dependent upon God’s will at that moment) thing in my name, I will do it.Heb 11:1Now faith is the substance of things hoped (as in I hope for a new pony but I don’t really expect one to show up) for, the evidence (in the Greek evidence literally means hoped for – see previous def. of Hoped) of things not seenHeb 11:6But without faith ( as in I hope for a pony ….) it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them (to reward means when you get to heaven – future tense of course) that diligently seek him.Jas 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.Jas 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:Jas 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, (when he gets to heaven that is) and the Lord shall raise him up (in the last day at the resurrection); and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him (ditto).Jas 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed (spiritually of course). The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (well another example of hyperbole – the Bible is just filled with it isn’t it).Eph 2:6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (you understand this is an allegory because you can’t be in two places at the same time):Eph 2:7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.Eph 2:8For by grace (means whatever you think it does) are ye saved through faith (I hope for a pony but don’t expect it kind of faith); and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:Eph 2:9Not of works (well you should DO something), lest any man should boast.Eph 2:10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.Eph 6:10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might (power here means your own because otherwise it would mean supernatural dunamis and that is hyperbole or just a lie).Eph 6:11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (good luck but not really cause there isn’t really a devil with power because then that would mean there would have to be a God with greater power and we haven’t seen any evidence of that recently anyway).Eph 6:12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (allegorical).Eph 6:17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word (in the greek this is the Rhema Word but it is the same as the written word and you don’t have to really say it or use it just think about it sometimes) of God:Eph 6:18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit (Paul doesn’t mean in tongues and if he did it was only for the early church that stuff is passe today and never had any power in the first place), and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;Rom 4:16Therefore it is of faith (I am hoping for a pony), that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all (Israel that is),Rom 4:17(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,)(Israel’s 12 tribes) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were (this only applied to Abraham and has absolutely nothing to do with the church today).Rom 4:18Who against hope believed in hope (for that pony I guess but he got it – lucky duck), that he might become the father of many nations (Israel), according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.Act 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,Act 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.Act 19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.Act 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.Act 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.Act 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied ( doesn’t mean anything for the church today- this was just the church at Ephesus and these 12 believers – speaking in tongues is not the initial physical evidence you’ve been baptized in the Holy Spirit – love is or warm fuzzy feelings).1Co 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy (prophesy means to preach from your inherent gifting – God no longer speaks to us personally or corporately except thru the canon of scripture you know).1Co 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries (why bother).1Co 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort (good preaching will encourage and exhort and build up people, especially a good illustrated sermon).1Jn 4:4 |
