Is this a Bible Verse?
God says "The reason some people have turned against you & walked away from you without reason, has nothing to do with you. It is because I have removed them from your life because they cannot go where I am taking you next. They will only hinder you in your next level bc they have already served their purpose in your life. Let them go & keep moving. Greater is coming" My question is, is this an actual bible verse, or just someone's quote. And if it is a quote, does anyone know who said it?
What bible verse is this?
If there is such a passage, I'd have to do some searching. I've never heard that one before and I've been STUDYING the Bible pretty much since 1985 and teaching from it since1988. That IS one thing I do. Before I fix my breakfast, my dog and cat have fresh water and food in their bowls. My grandfather did the same...his chickens, cows, horses were all fed and watered before he sat down to eat. LATER: Sorry, I could not find any passage that refers to feeding one's animals before feeding oneself. I may have missed something and someone else might find it. Here's a question: Is Proverbs 12:10 saying animals have souls? Well, I don't think so because I just checked (via CROSSWALK.COM) many, many English translations and those words are not in any of them.
What does this bible verse mean?
The atmosphere of selfish and narrow criticism stifles the noble and generous emotions, and causes men to become self-centered judges and petty spies. The Pharisees were of this class. They came forth from their religious services, not humbled with a sense of their own weakness, not grateful for the great privileges that God had given them. They came forth filled with spiritual pride, and their theme was, "Myself, my feelings, my knowledge, my ways." Their own attainments became the standard by which they judged others. Putting on the robes of self-dignity, they mounted the judgment seat to criticize and condemn. The people partook largely of the same spirit, intruding upon the province of conscience and judging one another in matters that lay between the soul and God. It was in reference to this spirit and practice that Jesus said, "Judge not, that ye be not judged." That is, do not set yourself up as a standard. Do not make your opinions, your views of duty, your interpretations of Scripture, a criterion for others and in your heart condemn them if they do not come up to your ideal. Do not criticize others, conjecturing as to their motives and passing judgment upon them. "Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts." 1 Corinthians 4:5. We cannot read the heart. Ourselves faulty, we are not qualified to sit in judgment upon others. Finite men can judge only from outward appearance. To Him alone who knows the secret springs of action, and who deals tenderly and compassionately, is it given to decide the case of every soul. "Thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things." Romans 2:1. Thus those who condemn or criticize others, proclaim themselves guilty, for they do the same things. In condemning others, they are passing sentence upon themselves, and God declares that this sentence is just. He accepts their own verdict against themselves.
What does this bible verse mean?
The example of Christ is proposed as an argument for patience under sufferings, the strength of which will be discerned if we consider the several points contained in the words; observe therefore, 1. Jesus Christ himself was not exempted from sufferings in this life, though he had no guilt of his own and could have declined all suffering if he had pleased. 2. The reason or meritorious cause of Christ's suffering was the sins of men: Christ suffered for sins. The sufferings of Christ were a true and proper punishment; this punishment was suffered to expiate and to make an atonement for sin; and it extends to all sin. 3. In the case of our Lord's suffering, it was the just that suffered for the unjust; he substituted himself in our room and stead, and bore our iniquities. He that knew no sin suffered instead of those that knew no righteousness. 4. The merit and perfection of Christ's sacrifice were such that for him to suffer once was enough. The legal sacrifices were repeated from day to day, and from year to year; but the sacrifice of Christ, once offered, purgeth away sin. 5. The blessed end or design of our Lord's sufferings was to bring us to God, to reconcile us to God, to give us access to the Father, to render us and our services acceptable, and to bring us to eternal glory. 6. The issue and event of Christ's suffering, as to himself, were these, he was put to death in his human nature, but he was quickened and raised again by the Spirit. Now, if Christ was not exempted from sufferings, why should Christians expect it? If he suffered, to expiate sins, why should not we be content when our sufferings are only for trial and correction, but not for expiation? If he, though perfectly just, why should not we, who are all criminals? If he once suffered, and then entered into glory, shall not we be patient under trouble, since it will be but a little time and we shall follow him to glory? If he suffered, to bring us to God, shall not we submit to difficulties, since they are of so much use to quicken us in our return to God, and in the performance of our duty to him?
What does this Bible verse mean?
Last chapter in the Bible Revelation 22:18 I war everyone who hears the words of the prophecy in this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. I just finished reading the Bible and this worried me a bit. I have my own interpretation of many of the verses in the Bible, of religious theology, etc, etc. Does this verse mean that if my interpretation is not how God truly meant it, then I am cursed? Or what does it mean? Thanks
Is this a bible verse... "god only gives you what you can handle" ?
NO that is not a bible verse, it is not good theological interpretation. And a trite and dismissive statement in Humanistic standards. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says that the trials that will come to you are human (not given by God) and that God will provide a way out (strength) so that you may be able to bear it. Big difference
