The scriptures are for reproof, doctrine, correction and instruction in righteousness.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

YOUR OWN, not other peoples. It is God who helps, not man.

Proverbs 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

Since prior to receiving instruction by God, we are ignorant of the meaning of his words, because we only have an Earthly intellectual understanding of scripture. So while people are sitting there watching videos of people talk about the Bible, God or Jesus, or busying studying listening to the words of other people in Bible class, they're just wasting their own time. No man is the savour of man.

James 2:1-3 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

It is a simple thread throughout the scriptures, turn to God, and be taught by him, and be gifted righteousness and the knowledge of the kingdom, which comes by faith, and not works alone. And since God cannot be seen, faith is the beginning of understanding. Not the feigned faith you see amongst the religious, but true faith in the spirit, which the anointing, that rock of revelation which all true faith is built upon and strengthens.

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Any idiot can say they believe in God. It doesn't mean anything, even the devils believe. What people don't seem to realise, it that they themselves are the devils.

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Just try saying these things to any biblical scholar. They'll have absolutely no hope of understanding these things, hardly a rich man in earthly knowledge will enter the Kingdom, again, Jesus words were a parable about the spirit. Jesus was rich himself, the three wise men saw to that at his birth. 

Matthew 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Meaning forget everything you used to know, especially the leaven of the Jewish religion (In his day, now ALL religion and spirituality in ours) and come follow Jesus and do as he instructs you to do, which is to turn to the Father, learn from him, and then preach the gospel to the poor in spirit, to those without this knowledge of the kingdom, to those who are seeking, those wayfaring people.

Isaiah 35:8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

The way is not for those who believe men blindly, and go to church, for as stated, they have their reward.

Matthew 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Seriously, if you think giving Earthly riches and possessions to the poor makes you a good person, and fit for heaven, then you do err and do not understand scripture, nor God’s will. In fact, that sort of charity harms the spirit. Since it creates a master and a servant relationship, having one beholden to another, and thus pride, vanity and a superiority complex kicks in.

Proverbs 28:19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

That sort of power over people corrupts, no exceptions. Not only that, it exalts the wealth of the flesh, over the wealth of the spirit. And if you have poverty of the spirit, then you are the poverty itself. The above also has a spiritual meaning as does all scripture. The land is minds of those who dwell in the world, and those that preach the gospel in it, are those tilling the land. It is those who will receive that bread from Heaven, to further give to the world. The parable of the sower should clear that up. 

Proverbs 20:13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. (That HIDDEN Manna from Heaven)

Wealth is meaningless, for if we have any we will lose it when our time comes.

Revelation 3:17-18 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

It really wouldn’t be righteous to punish the rich for being rich, especially those born into it. Those that crave and hoard it at the expense of others are the issue, for the love of wealth is the root of all evil. Again, people forget that Jesus was rich himself, with all the wealth that the three wise-men brought him. 

Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

See how something so simple is misunderstood?

2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich (In the knowledge of the spirit), yet for your sakes he became poor (Meaning he came into the flesh to teach people about it), that ye through his poverty might be rich. (And what he taught when applied would make others rich in the knowledge of the spirit also. Worshipping the name of a dead man won't help at all)

And who opposed him, those rich in their own knowledge, the religious authority of his time, whose leaven gave rise to Christianity and Islam, amongst others. The fruit of which is nothing but wickedness throughout history. Where the deceivers are deceived themselves, reaping the fruit of their own works. Ignorance.

Psalm 52:7 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

For those rich in earthly knowledge can’t abide the fact that they will have to start anew and learn again the truth. Remember, the wisdom of the world is foolishness with God.

Proverbs 5:12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

Like how all hearts do, since by design it doesn't want the spirit to know about itself, lest it cleaves itself apart from the deceitful soul. Which is why Jesus was saying these things.

Matthew 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

And especially;

Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

The vast majority of people wouldn’t even accept God’s instruction even if he came into this earth and sat in front of them, their hearts have hardened as Jesus used to say. Meaning people have grown arrogant. Hence why humility is the beginning of understanding.

Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

We need to overcome our natural affliction to seek our own understanding of things instead of turning to the Father within, in spirit and working out our own salvation with his guidance.

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear (Instruction in righteousness) and trembling. (humility)

Have you seen how that has being abused throughout history, by those that claim to serve God, taking an earthly, literal meaning of fear and trembling? Thus seeking to cause it in others? Again, people ignore what Jesus said. (As always)

John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

Instead like the religious, who wish to enslave people to their religion, commandments, foolish traditions and doctrines and their ideas of God, making man in their own image. Endlessly quoting scripture, with zero spiritual discernment of what they quote. They normally quote the bits that causes fear to rise up out of people’s hearts. They have their reward, already, in ignorance and delusion.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Here’s an example. The knowledge of reincarnation, is a quick example

Job 20:15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

Most cannot see it; these things are sealed to the unrighteousness and those that don’t seek the Father within. And even those that believe in it, only have a belief in it, which is worthless anyway. Knowledge of it isn’t important anyway. God is not a fundamentalist. That knowledge of that will come as you seek him within in spirit and are instructed by him in all things. If people seek after the knowledge that comes from man, then they'll be restricted by his limitations.

Psalm 73:12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

The riches of the earth, the wisdom of it. 

Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Again, what did Jesus say to do FIRST?

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Seek the Kingdom of God AND his righteousness (Where most people fail, they just seek God for themselves, and them try and use him as a weapon against people, unwittingly damning themselves). And where did Jesus say the Kingdom was?

Luke 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

People have ignored the first part, and the within part, to their detriment, because they think they’re already saved. When you’re saved you will be told of that, and not by man, but by God.

Luke 18:10-14 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Remember that, next time you hear someone say they are saved by God's grace. They are not, even worse, they can't even describe it.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

How can God do that if people not seeking him, mainly because people think they already know him. From where I'm sitting I'd call it wishful thinking.

1 Corinthians 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

Grace, is revelation, which once received is the anointing, that trans-formative process that renews the mind, converting it from an earthly sense of the world, to a spiritual sense of the world. 

Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

What has God made known to people? nothing since they have turned away from him, all the while paying lip service to him. Like King Solomon who was the richest man in the world receiving (six hundred and threescore six talents a year). And like King Solomon, people think their own wisdom is greater than Gods, and run after their own heart's understanding. 

Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

How did the apostles learn from God? via his Grace, revelations, the anointing that one receives from God. The Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: (How is it that people still in this day believe that Jesus is God?)

If people haven’t gone within and turned to God, and received revelations, the anointing, all people are doing is intellectualising the scriptures. Doing what the natural man does, who can't receive the things of the spirit, because they must be spiritual discerned. Revelation is the awakening process. The more your spirit is refreshed, the more revelations you receive. Without them, barely anything in the scriptures can be understood, outside of an intellectual level.. 

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

And people can't spiritually discern anything since they haven't first turned to God and had him renew their mind with his spirit.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (To yourselves, not other people)

Psalm 51:13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Instead people are conformed to the world and seeking answers from the world, just like everyone else who proclaims to be wise. Again, who are you learning from, who is doing the teaching? Most people don't even know they're transgressing, because they're blind in mind. Follow after no man. Along with the religious, conspiracy theorists are the worst for that. Such sort don't even know that they're serving those who they're against. They're made easy and discover-able for a reason. What this planet really is, is not so easy to figure out with the basic human intellect in operation today, carefully crafted by the world's education system, which by default conditions the mind to seek out knowledge from other people. And if it sounds good, most just run after it, especially those somewhat weary of the status quo. Those in the know, know full well what 'Satan' really is, and use that knowledge against people. In short, people's own hearts contents against them. They're aren't really worshipping some mythical beast or deity. They may want people to believe that though, especially if it keeps people from seeking the truth in all the right places.

Proverbs 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord (Seek instruction), and depart from evil. (Your own hearts works)

Just because people have memorised a book, or researched something on the internet, and especially  studied the bible for 30 years, people delude themselves into being knowledgeable about the scriptures, and indeed this world. Any fool can do that. Then they grow old and perhaps get Alzheimer's. What good is memory then, where is their God then (Their own knowledge), is it going to save them? God renews the mind in spirit, not the ability to remember things. Memory is a function of the soul (The heart, the wicked and deceitful heart, and actually enslaves the spirit, developing Alzheimer’s is somewhat of a correction, but that is another topic). Did you see what happened to Pope John Paul II? Why would you put your trust in something that can 1, degrade in time, and 2, make you forget things and 3 give you nightmares?

Daniel 5:20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

That is people's judge, that is what man has made their God. The wicked one within us all, that abomination that leaves the spirit desolate, because man has raised it up, and has it defiling 'The Holy Place' (Trust in my heart they say), instead of the spirit made in the image of God. Regardless of what people may believe, since it that which causes people to believe in the first place, it will knock them down at the end.

Job 19:9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.

Where was his God? In the love of the world, in the love of the people of his religion, those beasts of the field.

Hosea 4:7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

Bow your heads in prayer, who taught people that?

Psalm 24:9-10 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Quoting scripture like most do, especially on the internet won't help anyone one bit if you don't know how to use it. (Think of before the internet, and how long just doing this would take, meaning the wheat and the tares had to grow together). A KJV Bible search is your friend.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

And remember that is for people's own correction, not other peoples. Only then can people RIGHTLY DIVIDE the words of truth and put things together, guided all the way by God, because of ones FAITH in him, which leads to works, which then increases faith, and so forth, until faith is perfected, and thus people themselves are perfected in the knowledge of the spirit.

1 John 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

This doesn't mean you'll be perfect in the eyes of others, in fact in most cases the opposite will be true.

1 John 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

But then again, poor is the man who seeks the approval of those already condemned.

James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

But this can't be iterated enough, a person's faith should be in God not men.

James 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

There's the work of men, and there's the work of God.

James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

So if you want to be justified by men, then God will keep people away from the knowledge of the spirit. Again, there is no respect of persons with him, and that goes for those that respect persons also, especially of those who come in his name and deceive many.. 

James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Scripture is like computer code for revealing the truth. The implementation code that makes the whole program work and compile. But without the definition code, the code alone by itself is meaningless and will lead to errors, and frankly won’t work.

Mark 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

It is God that gives you the definition code, the power of understanding his knowledge, by turning within to him. He is the best technical support, so ring him up, within. And he’ll teach you how to remove the corrupting virus within you. He’ll give you NEW code, that will create a NEW program, that will enable you to write a NEW SONG, which reveals the MYSTERY OF GOD.

Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

A mystery that two billion Christians, along with a further two billion Muslims know nothing about. You know why?, look at them now, imagine giving such people the truth, considering how they treat people now in the world. Righteousness will not be yoked with unrighteousness, neither can it be. 

Psalm 98:1 O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

A program (Song) that is of the spirit, and not of the corruption of the flesh, which like DNA degrades and sometimes mutates into something much worse over time. The Father’s code is everlasting, unlike the Pope, and the other beasts of the field that serve him.

Exodus 22:31 And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh (Following after Earthly teachings and doctrines of the religious and spiritual) that is torn of beasts in the field ; ye shall cast it to the dogs. (In short, pearls aren't given to swine)

Solely reading from the bible is not doing the works, neither is going to Church (Eating Flesh), or knocking on doors. That’s just spreading a virus (Flesh torn off the beasts), not cleaning it.

Mark 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, (Turning from God, like Solomon) fornications (Defile God’s word with doctrine, traditions, and rituals and the like), murders (Simple lying and hiding the truth from men, spread doctrine which kills the spirit.)

What did Jesus say his words were about?

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

I’ll give an example. Fornication, when read with an earthly mind, by the natural man, people think of sexual misadventure or homosexuality. What it really means in the spirit, is defiling the word of God. The very thing the religious and non-religious for that matter do with scripture. But people being so twisted inside, seem to think they have a right to judge what others do, and then by what judgement they make of others, comes upon their own head, and the next minute they know, they themselves are abusing kids, or seeing gay male prostitutes. Funny how that works isn’t it? Especially amongst American Republicans, or the so called more conservative minded, and especially those of the clergy, those Nicolaitanes, the conquerors of the laity, who Jesus hates. 

Hosea 4:9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

People were warned and people were told, and people are being told again, you reap what you sow. The world is a FIELD, and you’ll reap the rewards of what you sow in it.

Matthew 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

Preach the Gospel, and become God’s first line of technical support, doing the works he asks of you in the field that is the world. You could paint pictures of your understanding, write poems, create short stories, etc, etc. Not all gifts given by God are the same. But the more you do the works, the stronger your faith becomes, thus opening up your spirit to receive more knowledge from God to do even greater works. The purpose of which is to do his will so that all people come to know the fellowship of the mystery. If you’re in it just for yourself and those like yourselves, then woe unto you, since the knowledge of the Kingdom is not for you, and this world is.

1 John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
