| Typical traits of Christianity: Taking the Bible as if it all applies to YOU. This trait is nicely demonstrated by the heretick t.d. jakes in the video below: In the beginning of his speech, after lying about the King James Bible and apologizing for using it, he refers to several verses, amongst which Isaiah chapter 45 verse 1 and verse 3, albeit that he did not mean to refer to verse 1 - and for good reason. He only reads verse 3: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. The heretick suggests that verse 3 applies to his doleful listeners: that they too individually can receive the “treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places”. Isaiah 45:3 however talks to KING CYRUS, who the LORD called by name - as it is written in verse 1, which verse the heretick did mention (inadvertently) but further ignored: Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; (...) “Thus saith the LORD (...) to Cyrus” Therefore, if you imagine that the LORD’s sayings to Cyrus apply to you - as if you are Cyrus, you are a clueless dolt. A blockhead. If you want to learn what you must do to have your sins forgiven from Paul’s gospel of Christ in the King James Bible, Romans chapter 1 verse 18 through chapter 4. |
