We Came to the Bible

An atheist came to the Bible and said, "Let me interpret this book as my group and I see fit."
A theologian came to the Bible and said, "Let me interpret this Book as my group and I see fit."
Does this difference of a capital letter really make any difference?

Do you really expect me to take sides? Actually the Bible itself never takes sides. Paul dramatically shows us through what he wrote in graphic detail how we ALL fall short and are en route to where we would rather not go.

Who will deliver us ALL from this sticky filthy resentment-filled confusion of death? The One who first came to us through one chosen, yet not favorite, people has paid the price for all of our willful ignorance, IF we do a simple turnaround and see fit to obey Him instead. If one cannot obey Him separate from our groups, churches, or nations, then we certainly cannot truly worship Him together.

The price He paid was NOT the Gospel our Savior preached while dwelling among us, however! His disciples rebuked Him for mentioning His upcoming cruel death not long before its occurrence. Then what was His Gospel?

He preached the Kingdom of God. God will yet rule us ALL, in the way that is best for us ALL! We humans have already proven many times over that humanity alone can NEVER establish peace on this little planet. But the Creator CAN and He WILL. He is the only One with the POWER and the KNOW-HOW to rule His own HEIRS. Yes, the Kingdom of God is also a NATION of INHERITORS. There can never be heirs if there's not an inheritance. If it were NOT so, He would have told us.
