Why do Christians twist the bible up to there understanding?

Question

It is like they do not want there mate in heaven? For example?
they say

Matthew 22:29. JEsus answered and said unto them, ye do err, not knowing the scriptures. skip the rest and go to verse 30.

Why do they cut the bible out when they preach as if it is impossible to recive a wife in heaven?

uh miss lady.....um prophets here God's voice... or false ones say they hear it....I never said God spoke to me. Get your facts straight.

how come you did not read verse 29.....the end...

nor do you know the power of God to recive a wife.

Answer 1

Because if it really IS heaven, I won't have a wife. I'll be able to just relax and drink beer. Do you think I want to spend eternity doing yardwork and going to the mall?

Answer 2

I'm not exactly sure I understand all of your question, so forgive if I'm missing something, but Personally? I think the bible was meant to be interpreted, by the invidual as well as by the group (the church). I mean, it's not as if there's anyone alive to say that was alive when Jesus was, to say that these things happened *exactly* the way it is in the bible. In my RCIA class, we discussed this very thing, and they pretty much said that the first accounts of Jesus' life weren't written down (the first bible) until like 66 A.D. And most of the tales of the bible back then weren't passed down via word of mouth (think about it, how many people back then do you think really knew how to read and write??).

Peace, love and light

Answer 3

This is what the Catholic Catechism says:

"The senses of Scripture"
CCC 115 - According to an ancient tradition, one can distinguish between two senses of Scripture: the literal and the spiritual, the latter being subdivided into the allegorical, moral, and anagogical senses. The profound concordance of the four senses guarantees all its richness to the living reading of Scripture in the Church.
CCC 116 - The literal sense is the meaning conveyed by the words of Scripture and discovered by exegesis, following the rules of sound interpretation: "All other senses of Sacred Scripture are based on the literal."
CCC 117 - The spiritual sense. Thanks to the unity of God's plan, not only the text of Scripture but also the realities and events about which it speaks can be signs.
1. The allegorical sense. We can acquire a more profound understanding of events by recognizing their significance in Christ; thus the crossing of the Red Sea is a sign or type of Christ's victory and also of Christian Baptism.
2. The moral sense. The events reported in Scripture ought to lead us to act justly. As St. Paul says, they were written "for our instruction."
3. The anagogical sense (Greek: anagoge, "leading"). We can view realities and events in terms of their eternal significance, leading us toward our true homeland: thus the Church on earth is a sign of the heavenly Jerusalem.

Answer 4

why do people imply that all Christians do this??? i am a Christian and if the bible says it, I believe it. but i do not take bible verses out of context. i do not really understand what your asking though, the bible does say that, but it also says "and not knowing the power of God" so are you asking if God will allow marriage in heaven because he is powerful? if so, then will he also allow tears and the demons? when Jesus says something, He means it.

Answer 5

Because they are not real Christians! A real Christian believes what the bible says ,he believes in the bible and not what someone else tells him what is meant. If you believe what people say what is meant by the bible then they believe the people and not the bible and should be called pouistians (I think)
I believe there are about 10 to 15 real christians in the world. I cant even say I am one of them because (amongst other things) i haven't even read the whole bible yet.

Answer 6

What rest???

You quoted verse 29 in its entirety. Verse 30+ is what comes next.
Who's twisting the Bible up????

Answer 7

Only Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons twist the Bible to suit their needs

Answer 8

Romans 1:30-32 (New International Version)

30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;

31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

32 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

try reading that.

Answer 9

I'm still trying to make sense out of your question. My question is, why do so many Atheists pretend to be experts on the Bible if they don't believe in God? BUT if you want to know why so many people use the Bible out of context, I think it's so they can justify their heathen ways while hiding behind a false mask of religion. Kind of like the Bush Administration, they'll contort statistics to make a bad thing look like nothings wrong.

Answer 10

hey, don't i know you?

oh yea, i do. God warned me about people like you. OH! i got it...your a false prophet. well it's nice seeingyou, but i gotta go study the true word of God. you should do the same. you might actually learn the truth.

*rolls eyes*...you just twisted up the word of God to fit what you want it to fit and you just told the world. therefore..your a false prophet. not all prophets come from God.
