A Simple Explanation Of The Bible Scriptures

By Elsa Noel


There was a time in the New Testament when Jesus rebuked some religious leaders by asking them why they have not read the scriptures. This excerpt is from the book of Mathew 12:3, 5; 19:4; 21:42; 22:31. Probably the people who had been rebuked had continuously read the respective passages several times but were not fortunate enough to give a proper explanation of the bible scriptures.

A believer should read distinctly and gain the sense of it. Getting the cause of it will enable them to finally claim that they have understood the information. Christianity is centered on gaining an understanding of Jesus teachings and the scriptures. The Bible is read so as to comprehend and discover meaningful teachings that have been placed for us by God.

Some people think that the Bible can easily be understood simply by reading. There even those who believe that reading with a dictionary or a lexicon can help them understand it better. Understanding of the scripture is necessary for the holy book to be able to impact on a life.

The scriptures sometimes do avail for us their own interpretations for us to directly benefit without undergoing through much trouble. The earlier Bible was drafted in languages that are presently considered dead and thus it is only by the grace of God that they were translated and can now be accessed by all cultures. Unless properly interpreted the message in the scripture will remain nothing but plain words.

The holy book scripture are a strong weapon against temptation and trials in life. In the New Testament particularly in the book of Mathew 4, Jesus when confronted by temptation used scripture from the book of Deuteronomy to fight it off. This was an ideal defense against Satan temptations.

Even some of the conservative clergy will pick a random quote from the Old Testament and spurn up a sermon with very little connection or none at all. The pastoral teachings are politically tailored to mirror on success prone interpretations of particular scripture. They aim to make the Bible look more flexible to the modern day world. Manipulation of scripture is a widely practiced in mainstream debates and organizations.

It will be really unconvincing for someone who does not believe in this holy book to claim that they have an understanding of the scriptures. When the scriptures are viewed as annals of history the spiritual dimension will be non-existent. The believers who take it as the word of God himself providing nourishment may get more of truth that lies within.

Jesus used to be very particular in judging the clergy then who would criticize his disciples of being spiritually ignorant. The particular instance is when they plucked corn so as to eat on the much revered Sabbath day. Explanation of the scriptures can be gained from people who are take Bible as a holy religious book than those who view it as a historical book.
