What if the Creator wrote a letter to his creation and it got hijacked? - Greg D - 05-23-2018
Imagine if you will, that you wrote a letter to you intended loved one because at that time you are in a distant place far from them. The letter contained lots of promises about your future and present life together and also contains loads of personal information only known to yourself and your intended. This analogy is from a time of letters not emails by the way. If by some circumstance this personal letter was intercepted by someone else, because this person didn't know you or your intended personally, they had to make up their own version of your story. Perhaps because the story contained in the letter is such an interesting one, that person might put themselves in the story and add to the plot. They then might go on to sell their own version to others, in books and merchandise, even in movies.
If this happened to you, you would like to catch up with these people in person to set the story straight.
This would cause too many problems to perhaps what has now become a massive industry. They would then arrange to have you 'taken out' so they could continue to profit from their version of the story. If they were unable to do that the next best thing they could do is try to discredit you, and attack you personally. The happy ending to this story is that you go on to marry your intended and live happily ever after, and the hijackers get their reward.
Theological college is the university version of the hijacked story, not the original one. The Bible is not a theory book it is a practical one and should be taken on face value. The letters that Paul the apostle wrote to the Christian Churches, have in like manner, been hijacked by people who neither, know the original story or have any part in it. 2Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 2nd Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. The old testament was written when the Holy Spirit moved on those people chosen to write and record a particular part. The new testament is the text written when God, in the form of a man (Jesus), came to set the record straight again, by placing the Holy Spirit within people.
Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers (different) manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hebrews 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds. The new testament was written down by people who had the Holy Spirit within. When someone tries to interpret the Bible without the Holy Spirit, they also are reading mail written to someone else. They too need the Holy Spirit to be part of this great story.
I know this story contains several trigger warnings, words like God, the Bible and Christian. I am not sorry for that as I believe religion has hijacked Gods message, this is an attempt to put the record straight.

Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman at a well, when his disciples arrived back to the scene, they were surprised that he as a Jew was speaking with a Samaritan and that it was a woman. They said nothing though, Jesus went on to reveal that he was the Messiah and what would become the true worship of God. *[[Joh 4:19]] KJV* The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. *[[Joh 4:20]] KJV* Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. *[[Joh 4:21]] KJV* Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. *[[Joh 4:22]] KJV* Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. *[[Joh 4:23]] KJV* But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. *[[Joh 4:24]] KJV* God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Paul the Apostle said *[[1Co 14:14]] KJV* For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. *[[1Co 14:15]] KJV* What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. This is what I myself do. Then miracles happen and confusion stops. To quote Jesus the truth sets you free.
