    Bible scripture is not complicated. Please don't let others complicate and confuse you.

    Much of the bible scripture including the gospel of Jesus is written so that a common person (even a child) can easily understand enough to become saved, and remain saved, and receive Salvation/Heaven.

    John 3:16

    "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

    Believe in Jesus Christ.

    Mark 16:16

    "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."

    Get baptized in water, and receive the Holy Spirit.

    1 John 1:9

    "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

    Ask God for forgiveness in the name of Jesus when you sin, and walk in the Spirit.

    John 14:15

    "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

    Strive to keep God's ten commandments, and ask for forgiveness when you sin.

    Revelation 22:14

    "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."

    Jesus tells us above, that those of us that keep his commandments - we will have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates of the city/Heaven.

    Nothing is complicated in most bible scripture. God wants all of us to understand!

    Do not depend on others, pick up and read your Bible, believe in what it says, and take a hold of YOUR SALVATION!

    Yes Bro Dan,

    I agree that the God willed that the Bible would be easily understood by common people who can understand the meaning of Scripture by the "seeing" the obvious and plain interpretation from wat is read.

    I do not believe that we need to try to "see" hidden meaning in Scripture. I think that that usually leads one into error and sometimes in a grave way.

    I do think that some things are allegorical, symbolic, or prophetic (but not every Scripture). However such verses that fall into these categories often get explained in other parts of Scripture.

    Hi Sister GiGi,

    Thanks for your response and encouraging words!

    Yes, God want's us to know his plans for us, and He does not hide it from those of us that are His Children.

    We must remain humble, and obedient in order to grow in his Word.

    James 4:10

    "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."

    Happy Sabbath Day!

    Dear GiGi again. In Jesus Name i have experienced the opposite of what you say, for all eight years.

    If we follow The free will we have, and live in it, is from the dark ones. But its thru He have give us a free will and we NEED to pray " i dont want my free will " take it away dear Jesus! Those ppl who will follow Him need too crucify the flesh. And keep theyr tongue tied, and thoughts as well. We are on our way, and Learning from Him the Holy Spirit.

    Ill promised God I would read the scriptures for as long as I lived, and ill see many hidden meaning in Scripture today. But then That was a real pray after God Fathers hearth! :D And the day come when He open up the Scripture for me. The words was like fire and the letters moved around for a sec or two.

    And no flesh can be saved without Him

    John 15:5

    I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

    Soo those time i go and tell somthing like heavenly to other ppl, they fall short because they do not understand.

    And in that it comes arguing and all kinds of evil. Soo when ill sheer something here in web site. I do understand that some ppl can speculate and may not believe it is true. But i promise u its thru all of it.

    Romans 2:

    4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

    5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

    6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

    7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

    8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

    9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first,

    and further :p In Jesus Name

    Dear Free,

    I really do not understand your point here. Your post is rather convoluted. I would like to respond more to what you have said, but I gather that you do not want anyone to disagree with what you post. I may be wrong on this. But if I gathered correctly, then I will take that into account.
