Bible Reading for Thursday, February 4, 2016

There are many different websites that offer reading plans to read the Bible in a year. Here is a really good one:  Read the KJV Bible in One Year. For today, why don't you read along with me chapter John 3 & 4 in the book of John.

Special verses: 

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish , but have everlasting life.  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved .  He that believeth on him is not condemned : but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." - John 3:16-19

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.: - John 3:36

"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." - John 4:24  

Note: If you have a reading disability that makes it difficult or impossible to read along with me this year, please consider going to Biblegateway.com and listening to the Bible. This is a great site with many resources, one of which is an audio version of the Bible.Daily

"The Genesis Death Sandwhich:" & The Spiritual Food Pyramid

I have watched Chuck Missler's "Learn the Bible in 24 Hours," and while I can't endorse all of what Dr. Missler says, there is much good stuff in these videos. If you are interested in 'secret Bible codes,' you will find these videos fascinating.

And I have also spent some time reading and listening to material by Dr. Gail Riplinger. In one of her lectures she talks about a secret code found in the Old Testament that, if true, is mind boggling (check out: Errors in New Bible Translations,  where she cites a research paper titled Equidistant Letter Sequence in the Book of Genesis).

There is a new "Bible Code" theory in the news today: 'Secret Code' Used to Bury Bad News is Discovered in the Bible and is Called the 'Genesis Death Sandwich.' Although this 'code' is not the same as the Bible code talked about by Dr. Missler and referred to by Dr. Riplinger, it is making the news nonetheless.

I've read enough about 'Bible Codes' to know that it is not all bogus (although most of it probably is!). But unless studying secret Bible codes leads you to love our Lord Jesus more, and obey him more, then you would probably profit more by studying the TV Guide (although I don't recommend that: see my recent Post, Americans and TV: An Update on 'The Devil's Vision').

Rather than spending your time reading about secret Bible codes, why don't you check out the following sermons by Dr. David Murray:
