About

Welcome to the BibleKnow website. I love to talk about the Bible and explore the scriptures for truth and facts. We are going to review some touchy topics and questions that most people are very confused about.

Why is the Bible so confusing?

The Bible is supposed to give us answers...all the answers. I believe anything we want or need to know can found in the records and revelations that have been recorder here for mankind.

But mankind has twisted the context of scripture to promote false teachings, much like the Pharisees did to force people to obey The Laws during the days of Jesus.
I call these false teachings Phariseutical teachings because the scriptures are being manipulated to control people and make money.
And most people are just oblivious.

 

The fact is... scripture us just not read or studied anymore. Modern Christians study what they are told to study, and they just accept what they are being told.
They don't search scripture anymore. They don't know the truth anymore. They are so confused that they have stopped trying.
They are easily led astray.

But not you. The sheep in the picture is reading from Act 8:32

So, How Does This Confusion Begin?

It starts with the things we are taught as children.
Like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy.
Cartoons, TV shows and Video games are other make-believe-worlds that add to it.

Pretend is OK and can be very fun, but outright lying is just wrong.
It is no wonder the kids don't know what to believe.

Very few people want to take the time to actually study the Bible. Most people are content to accept what they are told, even though it continues to change every time they hear it.
It's much easier to be ignorant and happy.
And this include children and adults as well.

So they just accept each new teaching as truth because it sounds good and they trust that someone must have studied this stuff already.

You won't be so lucky if stay on this site. You will have to get out a Bible and see it for yourself. You will actually have to study. Sorry, but that's the way it is.

What Was My Motivation To Create This Website?

This whole project really started when I got fed up with all the mixed-up teachings I was hearing from TV, Radio, and even my own church.

I love everything the churches stand for and don't want to discourage anyone from joining a local congregation. We need the friendship and fellowship of believers to keep our heads on straight and to help us survive in this messed up world.

But....
...It was time to read the Bible for myself. So I did.

I got a whole different understanding of this wonderful love story...so I read it again. I didn't try to analyze it as I read...I just read it. I would describe it as the most incredible love story ever conceived.

Now I had a better understanding of what scripture actually said and I was starting to understand the story.
But I also learned that very few people, even our trained leaders, had ever actually read the story.
Yes, they have probably studied every word and phrase, but they never read the story.

It seems to me that they only want to use the Word to get us to believe, and buy, their brand of Christianity. That's what they are trained and paid to do.
They tell us how we should live, what we should do, and where we should go.
They have a biased opinion of what scripture should say and they willfully manipulate the Word to their liking.

I came to realize that what I was being taught was mostly a mixture of hearsay, tradition, and ancient mythology. Teachings filled with secrets and mysteries.

The Bible is often manipulated to support phariceutical ideas and ancient beliefs and traditions.
It is not studied, but used to support other studies done by man.

  • The Catholics use the Bible to support the Missal.
  • Islam is based on scripture, but only select parts are used.
  • The Mormons use the Bible to support the Book of Mormon.
  • The Jehovah's Witnesses re-wrote the Bible to support their beliefs.
  • The Calvinists use the Bible to support the beliefs of John Calvin.
  • I know of a church that bases almost all doctrine on the writings of John Bunyan.
  • Others use select portions of the Bible to support gimmicks like the pre-trib Rapture.
  • Is there a church that uses the Bible to support the Bible?

We are going to review some of these things in the studies on this site.

So I started to search for myself, and found answers to questions like:

Here Is What We Are Going To Do

We are going to follow what scripture says and get everyone back on the right path.

You may have to get out of your box.
You may have to rethink a lot of what you believe as you go down this road.
You may get angry with me for opening some of these doors.
The window is about to be opened.

Why Was This Website Created?

This website was created to help people understand why they can't find answers that make sense.
Then to provide real answers with evidence to back it up,
and finally to end all the confusion. Enough is enough.

The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that every soul was eternal. They taught that when a person died they immediately ascended to the spiritual realm of the gods, or descended to suffer in the eternal flames of the underworld "Hades" for eternity.

That is exactly what most of our Modern Christian churches teach us today because our modern "Christian" world church system is rooted in ancient mythology.

But the Bible does not teach that at all.
We were never told that we could exist in the spiritual realm of our Creator.
And we were never told that we would suffer for eternity in our human bodies (eternal life in the Lake of Fire).
According to scripture we don't become like our Creator...HE BECAME LIKE US.
We don't need scripture to know that a body cannot function without life.
And a body with life is nothing without a soul, and our soul cannot function without a body. They all go together.

If we start out on the right foot the Bible makes total sense in every aspect.
We were made ON the earth, FROM the earth, FOR the earth. That is our home and our place in the creation plan.

Many Modern Christian beliefs and teachings are based on the ancient traditions and false beliefs of people who died hundreds and even thousands of years ago.  We will discover that in our studies.

If you want answers then this is a good place to start.
