Wise men will know you are wicked and will rebuke you, and you will be disgraced and shamed. The lesson is simple: do not talk critically or negatively about others; do not spread news or rumors; do not slander anyone. Gossip is a heinous sin, and it can permanently stain your reputation. This is half of a proverb. The first half says, “Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another” (Pr 25:9). Good men only discuss differences or offences with the person involved, not with others. If you tell others about a conflict with someone, those others will know you are hateful, malicious, and wicked. Jesus Christ taught the same rule of godliness and wisdom. He said, “Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone” (Matt 18:15). If you cannot ignore the offence of another, go tell him his fault. Instead of telling others about the problem, tell him alone. The rule is clear and definite. When you have a problem with someone, it is cruel and malicious to tell others about it. You do so in order to defame and injure the other party and obtain sympathy for your cause. You seek to hurt another person’s reputation and exalt your own. The holy God of heaven considers such intentions and actions to be murder (Matt 5:21-26). Beware! You should keep controversies and offences between you and your adversary. If you tell others about them, it is called gossip. In the Bible, it was called backbiting, talebearing, tattling, and whispering, if you told the truth. These are terrible sins that God hates. If you lied about the matter, then it was also called slander. It does not matter that these sins are popular today and no longer preached against: they are heinous in God’s sight. Godly men despise this evil treatment of others, and they will despise the person doing it. They will angrily rebuke those who gossip about others. It is a duty to do so. Solomon wrote, “The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue” (Pr 25:23). It is terrible that more wise men do not put backbiters, talebearers, whisperers, slanderers, and gossips to shame by angry rebukes (Lev 19:17; I Thess 5:14). If you have a problem with someone, and you cannot gloriously overlook it, go to him alone and settle it through Christian charity. Put a guard on your heart, and do not even think about telling others. Only say complimentary and kind things about other people. Let your reputation be glorious and gracious, always edifying others (Eph 4:29; Col 4:6). https://letgodbetrue.com/proverbs/index/chapter-25/proverbs-25-10/

WHY I BELIEVE THE BIBLE WAS INSPIRED BY GOD. Have you ever wondered how 66 books, written by 40 different authors over 1,500 years, could weave together a single, cohesive story? It’s a question that has fascinated scholars, believers, and skeptics alike. The Bible, despite its diverse origins, displays a remarkable thematic unity that points to something extraordinary—its divine inspiration. Let’s explore why this unity is so compelling and what it reveals about the Bible’s origins. The Bible is not a single book but a collection of 66 books, written by approximately 40 authors over a span of 1,500 years. These authors came from vastly different backgrounds—kings, fishermen, prophets, shepherds, and scholars—and lived in different continents, cultures, and historical eras. Despite these differences, their writings share a common thread: a unified message about God’s relationship with humanity, His plan for redemption, and the promise of a Savior. Consider this: if you were to pick 66 random books from a library, written by 40 different authors across centuries, it would be nearly impossible to find such a consistent and interconnected narrative. Yet, the Bible achieves this seamlessly. From Genesis to Revelation, the themes of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration are intricately woven together, forming a coherent and compelling story. What makes this unity even more astonishing is the lack of collaboration among the authors. Many of them never met, lived in different time periods, and wrote in different languages and cultural contexts. For example, Moses penned the Torah in the wilderness of Sinai, while Paul wrote his epistles from Roman prisons centuries later. Despite these disparities, their writings complement and reinforce one another, as if guided by a single, overarching Author. This level of consistency is unparalleled in human literature. It’s not the result of a coordinated effort but rather a testament to the divine inspiration behind the Bible. The authors were moved by the same Holy Spirit, ensuring that their words, though diverse in style and perspective, conveyed a unified message. Beyond its thematic unity, the Bible’s enduring impact on humanity further underscores its divine nature. For thousands of years, it has shaped cultures, inspired art, guided moral frameworks, and transformed countless lives. Its teachings remain relevant across generations, offering wisdom, hope, and direction to people from all walks of life. The Bible’s prophecies, many of which have been historically fulfilled, also point to its divine origin. From the rise and fall of empires to the birth of Jesus Christ, the accuracy of these predictions is nothing short of miraculous. Such precision defies human explanation and reinforces the belief that the Bible is more than a human creation—it is the inspired Word of God. In a world of diverse voices and conflicting ideas, the Bible stands out as a singular work of unparalleled unity and coherence. Its 66 books, penned by 40 authors across 1,500 years, weave together a story that is both timeless and transformative. This unity, combined with its profound impact and fulfilled prophecies, points to a divine hand guiding its creation. The Bible is not merely a collection of ancient texts; it is a living testament to God’s revelation to humanity. Its message of love, redemption, and hope continues to resonate across the ages, inviting us to explore its depths and discover the truth it holds. For these reasons, I firmly believe that the Bible was inspired by God—a divine masterpiece that transcends time, culture, and human limitation. This is the dispensation of Elihu putting things into its proper perspective and challenging the old status quo of man made religion brought about by Eliphaz Bildad and Zophar. STILL DA BELOVED!! STILL ONCE SAVED FOREVER SAVED!!

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE BIBLE GETS READ IN PRE-TEXT? ........................... But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; And put NO DIFFERENCE between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. .................... Ephesians 2:14-16 KJVS For he is our peace, who hath MADE BOTH ONE, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us ; [15] Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; [16] And that he might reconcile both unto God in ONE BODY by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: ................... Ephesians 3:5-9 KJVS Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; [6] That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the SAME BODY, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: [7] Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. [8] Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; [9] And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: ............... IF IT IS READ IN PRETEXT, NOTHING COMES OF IT BUT HERETICAL RESULTS. ME, YOU, AND EVERYBODY IS WITHOUT EXCUSE IF WE READ OUR BIBLE IN PRETEXT. ................ Please read Galatians and you will see much more of the TEXT flowing freely without pretext, without "preconceived" concepts, but in purity.
