Do you Study?

It amazes me how many people truly don't study there bible. I'm not talking about just reading, I'm talking about truly studying. Breaking down Gods word to truly get to the meaning of the scriptures. How many of us "trust" what we hear in church on Sunday mornings and figure that the preacher has done all the studying so we'll just go with what he says. That's whats gone wrong. We should study for ourselves to make sure what we hear on Sunday morning is accurate. We hear it every Sunday, scripture that's twisted to suit the message of a pastor. One of the biggies is

Isaiah 53:5 "But he was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities, The chastening for our well being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed". The KJV says "stripes" instead of "scourging".

So many people like to take that last line and make it about physical healing. It's not dealing with physical healing at all. It's talking about our spiritual healing not our physical healing.

1 Peter 2:24 confirms this...."and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed." Continue in verse 25 "For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepard and Guardian of your souls".

Spiritual healing yes, physical healing no. I pray that we will go back to studying our own bibles for ourselves and that would eliminate alot of the false teaching that's in our society. We can't blame someone else for what we don't know. We are accountable for our own belief's and actions.

God has blessed me with three wonderful children Christina, Mary and Jake and a beautiful wife Teresa. I'm not a preacher, just an everyday guy with the desire to share Jesus Christ.
