““‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. “”
Before all the “experts” and those who have the secret decoder ring pile on, I’m not saying I don’t believe, I do, but just find it impossible to figure out with inside out, upside down, hide the meaning sentence structure.
Six, because eggs don’t have bones is just as clear.
Its like reading a help manual written by Microsoft.
“That is clear as mud and why I find the bible incomprehensible”
My sympathies completely.
Learning about God is not for a single reading of the book, but a lifetime effort of returning to scriptures and prayer.
Here are the 2 verses that simplify it: it is by faith alone ghagra you are saved. But faith without works is dead.
I find that pretty easy~peasy
Iced coffee or hot coffee, not many people drink room temp coffee. drinking slightly hot plain water is kind of repulsive.
The turning point for me in studying the Bible came when I just wanted to know the truth. Of course I was crying my eyes out to God at the time. It is not our reasoning that deciphers the Word, it is God who opens our eyes to His truth. All you have to do is ask, and be willing to have your world turned upside down by the truth.
That is clear as mud and why I find the bible incomprehensible.
Incomprehensible? Really?
Personally, I think it's pretty clear. The speaker (first person, "I") wishes that the person or people he is addressing (second person, "you") were able to demonstrate some sort of full commitment to a position or cause. "Hot" and "Cold" are metaphors for being fully committed to a belief or position. The speaker is disgusted with the people he is addressing because they aren't willing to commit. "Lukewarm" is a metaphor for that lack of commitment.
