Why the diverse opinions/interpretations on various topics of the bible?

[u/Comfortable-Work8624]

I’m told that Christians are filled with the Holy Spirit, meaning they have a direct connection to God. If that is true, wouldn’t the Holy Spirit guide, show, and teach the correct interpretation of biblical topics, resulting in all true Christians arriving at the same understanding?

But right now, interpretations are all over the place. On hell alone, some believe in eternal torment, others in annihilation, and others in purification through pain or some other process. Then there are differences over the tribulation—pre-trib, post-trib, and so on. Some believe in a young earth, others in an old earth, and the list of disagreements keeps going.

Logically, if the Holy Spirit reveals truth, then it should lead people to the correct interpretation. So either the existence of so many conflicting interpretations suggests there is no Holy Spirit—and therefore no God—or it means there is a group of Christians who truly have the correct interpretation as revealed by the Holy Spirit, while those with false interpretations do not actually have the Holy Spirit and were never truly Christians in the first place.

[u/GingerMcSpikeyBangs]

Agreed. Paul (having more written in scripture than others) has the most to say about this, but Peter and Jude have valuable input as well. It's s sorrowful thing to see, but since it was prophesied I suppose it should be no surprise that it's happening. Just another sign of the times.

Of course I'm taking the "choice" out of the struggle in order to answer, but you are correct in your assertion that the Spirit brings a unified understanding to the faith. We're supposed to be wary of ourselves as well, since because Christ in glory is yet to be revealed, and the children of God with Him, we still have further revelation in reality despite having the whole vision declared. This is why Paul can say both that the Spirit teaches all things, AND that we see thru a glass dimly and only know in part.

The holy Spirit is not an auto-obtain that comes thru a "correct worldview," and "belief" is not merely what you think is true, even if you think it super-hard. Modern christianity has become sort of a joke, and there's very few people that even notice. But those that do see it, see it because the Spirit shows them.

All kinds of false interpretations are rampant. Do not believe in heresies, falsehoods, and distortions that claim their own assertions—departing from the Bible—as if they were the Word of God. There are too many arrogant individuals who stray from the Scriptures and instead present their own claims, which contradict and oppose the Word of God, as if they were divine truth.

Even many Christian pastors today do not truly understand why hell must exist. If Christians were to realize through the Bible that hell is actually necessary for us, they would be utterly shocked. If you want to know this truth clearly and thoroughly, I strongly recommend the book Moses' Burning Bush. This book contains answers to these questions, along with the roots and fundamental essence of humanity.

The so-called "Holy Spirit" in Christianity today does not produce even a mustard-seed-sized fruit of faith or any evidence of its presence—it is a false spirit. Do not be deceived.

Why do people with disabilities have to be born?

Why are those who have undergone abortion born?

Why does menstruation exist for women?

Why is the gate to salvation and heaven found only the gates of the twelve tribes of Israel?

There is not a single person on this earth who possesses the Spirit of God's truth and can explain these matters clearly. No religion has ever been able to provide a sufficient explanation. The reason is that all religions of the world are created by humans, not by God, and thus they cannot surpass the limitations and ideals of human wisdom.

Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.(Revelation 21 : 11-21)

Frankly, the answer to the first question is - the sins of the fathers. In response to the 3rd question, check out the curse God gave to Eve which she received in Genesis. The others do not make a lot of sense to me to attempt a proper answer, or have been responded to by others. The point is, the Holy Spirit does exist and can provide answers to those truly faithful. Any blasphemy of Him is unwise to say the least.

[u/jin2795]

Where in the Bible does it mention a gate to heaven for Americans, apart from the gates of the twelve tribes of Israel? God is the God of Israel, and the Bible is also Israel’s sacred scripture.

Americans will never be able to enter heaven if they cannot understand the message of these words. It is utterly foolish to speak of heaven without even knowing the fundamental reason why humanity must truly exist.

 

And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.(Revelation 20 : 2-5)

 

This Bible verse speaks of the Millennial Kingdom. The concept of an "eternal heaven" is a term that Christian pastors have arbitrarily made up. While the Bible does contain the word "eternal life," nowhere does it mention the term "eternal heaven."

 

The twelve gates for the twelve tribes of Israel

 

Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.(Revelaton 21 : 11-21)

You are an American. Your pastor, who teaches you, is also an American. However, for Americans, there is absolutely no gate to heaven except the one for the twelve tribes of Israel. According to what Christians teach and learn, if we follow their doctrine exactly as it is, then no American Christian could ever be saved.

In other words, except for the heavenly gates of the twelve tribes of Israel, Americans—who are no different from Gentiles—have no entrance to heaven at all. There is no human being who can solve this issue. Regardless of status or position, no one can enter heaven except through the twelve heavenly gates of the twelve tribes of Israel.

[u/Extreme-Proof-7887 → u/jin2795]

These is nothing to 'solve', read the New Testament in its proper context. Christ is the gate to heaven; those are simply the gates to the New Jerusalem. He stated, all who repent and call on him will receive salvation. Period.

[u/jin2795]

The one and only key to heaven exists solely in the book Moses' Burning Bush.(Author : Yo Han Lee) If you read Moses' Burning Bush, you will be truly astonished. You will find the key to heaven that will lead to your salvation.

 

And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.(Isaiah 22 : 22)

 

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;(Revelation 3 : 7)

 

Those who once killed Christ in the past are still present on this earth today, deceiving many while pretending to be God's shepherds. This spirit of deception is the very spirit of the Antichrist.

God's truth is not about words, theories, or knowledge. It is the beautiful power of God that is manifested in those who follow the love of the cross, even to the point of sacrificing their own lives, and who cultivate God's divine nature within themselves.

Any claims or interpretations made by those who lack even the mustard-seed-sized power of faith are nothing but the spirit of deception, heresy, and the Antichrist.

 

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.(Matthew 17 : 20)(Mark 9 : 23)(Philippians 4 : 13)

 

Who are kept by the power of God through faith(love) unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.(1 Peter 1 : 5)

 

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. (1 John 3 : 21-24)

 

God’s truth is the power of God that leads people to practice goodness and righteousness.

 

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.(2 Timothy 3 : 16-17)

 

If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.(1 Timothy 4 : 16)

 

[u/jin2795]

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness....(2 Thessalonians 2 : 9-17)

 

Leading people to receive the love of God, where His power works, is the true path and the Spirit of Truth. God is love.

 

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love....(Ephesians 4 : 15-24)

 

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.(Romans 8 : 19-21)
