I'd like to add to my earlier comment, that I no longer have that feeling like time was speeding up, or something is about to happen, and the only
thing that changed was, I found a Teacher of The Word, not a preacher ,but a teacher. And it's been feeding my soul for a few months now, and I just
love it.
The difference between a preacher and a teacher is, a teacher gives me understanding, some meat as it were, to sink my teeth into. He goes into the
original meaning of the words, and keeps the context, and relates it to anything else in the Bible that fits or verifies the text or meaning.
Another part of the difference is, getting an understanding of the scriptures fills a void inside, and is satisfying in a similar way that one gets
after having a good steak. You know how it just hits the spot and you feel great, well it's kinda like that.
I tried reading The Word on my own, but it didn't really mean much to me, except in a few spots. I recently found out by another teacher, that it is
a rare man to be able to read, with understanding, The Word, without any outside help, which just verifies my own experience, and from what I can
tell, the experience of many here who do not have a real clue about the contents of The Bible. It's too bad that their anger is misplaced, it belongs
elsewhere.
I see a lot of negative comments about religion and The Bible and I do understand where they are coming from, because I've seen some of the same
people that they have seen, and I don't have much good to say about them either. Anyways, Gods Laws are not supposed to be about religion, but about
a way of life.
I hope that those with eyes and ears to hear what I'm saying, will seek out a Teacher, not a preacher, to give understanding and meaning to a Book
that everyone should get to know, before forming any opinions, because without a real understanding, the opinion really won't hold water.
