In His Own Words Foreword


Foreword

Many will undoubtedly consider this book an abomination.  For it is true that a word has been added to the beginning of a passage here and ther to make the pulse of the prose beat more smoothly, but they do not understand what is written: For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. [Revelation 22:18 KJV]

Furthermore, verses from all over the New Testament have been rearranged to make it read like One single person did indeed Author it all.  This is in opposition to those who want to believe that the Apostle Paul authored this while the Apostle John authored that.  No, there is no disputing that they placed the words into written form, but the entire Bible was Authored by the true Word of God, who truly is the Lord Jesus Chris.  For it is written: Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. [2 Peter 1:20-21 NIV]

Besides, our Heavenly Father’s Holy Scriptures were given to serve as written confirmation of what He Himself wants to teach each individual.  For it is written: “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to Me.” [John 6:44-45 NIV]

Sadly, it is the same today as it was long ago.  For it is written: “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.” [John 5:39-40 NIV]
