Truths

Truths appear in drips, streams, flows and pours. Drinking from the fountains of truth holds pleasures and benefits galore. Yep, truths poured in and truths poured out -- to constructively share. Truths sure can favorably do our lives well.

Initially, truths don’t always please our thirsty appetites. Often, though, when we allow them to rest in soak formation, to marinate and then to sink in thoroughly, our thirsts are satisfyingly quenched. Acceptance of truths adds to successful accomplishments of our action plans -- with relish.

Certainly, digesting truth proves good for our systems.

Red Text in Bibles



Hi -

I wonder who wrote the words shown in red text in some Bibles attributed to Jesus, as if verbatim -- word for word -- though those subject words in red were written MANY years AFTER Jesus walked the earth in the flesh.

The red words in text are LENGTHY, -- in FOUR gospels, and a bit in Acts.  It's NOT possible to quote someone VERBATIM -- word for word -- at such LENGTHS -- ESPECIALLY MANY YEARS later . . . which is when those red words were written.


Inspiration doesn't MEAN necessarily VERBATIM -- WORD FOR WORD,

When Jesus was on the mount of transfiguration -- the Bible DOES NOT mention any scribes being there.
Who took NOTES when Jesus was described as being alone -- YET His very verbatim words were recorded in the Bible as to WHAT HE UTTERED when He was ALONE, according to scripture?

It's NOT possible for HUMAN, FLAWED SPECIMENS to quote -- at that length -- verbatim -- word for word -- MANY years later -- AFTER Jesus walked the earth in the flesh.

Who "recorded" when Jesus was ALONE with -- the Bible says "the devil"? It was expressed that it was JESUS and the devil -- period.  Yet, the words THOSE TWO UTTERED -- verbatim -- word for word -- were "recorded" in the Bible.

I don't, however, agree relative to Jesus and the LENGTHY red text in some Bibles attributed -- as verbatim -- word for word -- expressions UTTERED by Jesus - EVEN WHEN HE WAS ALONE . . . with NO ONE present to SCRIBE.

That doesn't effectively explain when no scribes were present -- and when Jesus was ALONE -- with the Bible says -- "the devil -- and how those words were "recorded" in the Bible as being expressed by Jesus and the devil -- if only THOSE TWO were present for that subject encounter.

More reasons why I AND OTHERS -- REASONABLY -- don’t believe that the Bible content is ENTIRELY accurate and WHOLLY true.
