Philippians 2

Philippians 2:1  If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, So right off I see a problem because of the word therefore.  Therefore is a conjunction tying what was said in the last few verses of chapter 1 into the context of chapter 2. The end of chapter 1 was talking about how we should behave and what we can expect to see happening because we have taken a stand for Christ. This first verse also divides right in the middle of a thought. Mind you I am not saying God did it wrong just whoever divided this book into chapters and verses. If you ever needed proof that there is no divine authority behind chapters and verses all you need to do is look here in Philippians to see how poorly it was done.

The others crucified with Christ

If you asked most christians what the crucifixion looked like I would bet would describe something that looked like this. The thing is we now have to ask is this what the word says? The only way to find out is to open the word be it your favorite bible website or opening a real bible to see what it says. That is the only way to separate the truth from the tradition.

If your or my belief system contradicts the bible we need to go with the bible. So let's go to the word of God and see what it says. Luke 23:32-40 32 And there were also two oth...

Prayer

  1 Cor. 14: 13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an  unknown  tongue pray that he may interpret.  14 For if I pray in an  unknown  tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.  15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.  16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?  17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.  18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:  19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that  by my voice  I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an  unknown  tongue.   I start from here because this is our instruction for toda...
