Trying To Sensationalize The Bible….

We always need to be careful when it comes to God’s word. There are severe consequences when people speak for God, when He didn’t send a message to be spoken. This also applies to trying to sensationalize the Bible. It doesn’t need our extra input. It accomplishes what it’s supposed to accomplish. If the recipient of the Gospel is seeking God whole-heartedly, then it will need no translation. If, however, they are not seeking the Lord in the manner they should, deception and false hope will most likely be heavily woven into the situation. As the Bible tells us in Revelation, we need not add to or take away from what it already says. God’s word is complete. And it serves its purpose. We do not need to fashion it in any way. We are to share it, using it to teach, rebuke, or uplift the hearer of God’s word. It will do what it’s supposed to, for it doesn’t need our help. Be careful when speaking God’s word, the consequences may not be to your liking when done selfishly.

31 “Send an open letter to all the exiles in Babylon. Tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Since he has prophesied to you when I did not send him and has tricked you into believing his lies, 32 I will punish him and his family. None of his descendants will see the good things I will do for My people, for he has incited you to rebel against Me. I, the Lord, have spoken!’ ” Jeremiah 29:31-32
