What Does The Bible Say About Seeking Guidance What Kind Of Response Is "Try Reading The Bible. It's All In There." To A Question That I Ask Regarding God?

What kind of response is "Try reading the Bible. It's all in there." to a question that I ask regarding God? - what does the bible say about seeking guidance

I ask this because:

A) This answer means that I have not read the Bible, or that I do not only have a very good job. So when I read the Bible and I have a question, I will not ask for other advice?

B) If you do not understand what I read that just make me stupid? Is the Bible in a simple manner, with all its images and metaphors to understand that no one more clearly?

C) As a teacher I'm just saying a student "Try to read the book. The answer is there. In response to a question about the readings / topic? (And if you have children, what would you do if I just say it?)

D) If all the answers about God in the Bible, why is there such a person as a theologian? Are not they pretty useless if we all find the answers for us?

Sorry if this seems to be complaining. I just found out that these answers are not really answers at all, or if they are offered to help very little.

Well, if you have a Bible handy. Acts 8:30,31 speaks of an Ethiopian eunuch, the reading of Sacred Scripture. Philip asked if he knew what he was reading, and the man replied: "Really, how could I, unless someone guides me?" So, you're right. If someone said, reading the Bible, is a kind of lame response. Says I do not know where, but surely that is half the time in which he is not.
I believe that James 2:15 ET 16 is clearly applicable principle in this situation:
"If a brother or sister is naked and in a state without enough food for the day, but some will say," Go in peace, keep warm and well fed, but not considering the needs of [his] body, what good is it? "

Do you have the full answer, or simply set a game?

I think we now have all these good people, an opinion, without bringing all the information expressed.

Where this Refrence law. I answered.

I hope you understand what I meant.

If this is not the law then (I'm lost)?

It's a lousy answer! It is completely avoids answering the question you have. If you ask me, I will give my reply, and judiciously, with the support of the biblical passages where necessary.

1) I think some people might respond "A": in other words, they think that you have done your homework. Thus, we can not be a matter of a lazy student answer (especially if they believe the answer is obvious.). As a part-time professor and ex-coach can, based on this attitude.

2) Either that, or are too lazy, one (giving a reasoned response, but if it is true, why would not react? Hum ....).

3) It may simply have not read your question, and what they want is a period of two simple points.

BTW, I thank you for the points!

This answer has not been good to me. If that can offer everything a person, then it is very sad. But it was hot, and I saw evidence of fusion cells in the brain, so that it may be the case.

If it helps, I have several degrees in theology, and I can tell you that not everything in the Bible and see what can be very confusing and difficult, with many possible interpretations of certain passages. Note that the Bible was written in antiquity and the meaning of certain words and phrases that have lost over time and can never be certain what it originally meant to know.

However, there are many very important things in the Bible and the most important things, like the two greatest commandments are pretty clear.

What this person said this to you ... Reading the Bible can be difficult, and you're right, try the discussion with others, to gain understanding and knowledge.

You try to just 2 points. It is commendable that you are looking for answers to your questions. Jesus spoke about it to remain vigilant as a treasure, and I find the knowledge of God. I agree that the Bible is hard to understand, unless you help. Do not give up!

The next Jehovah's Witness who comes to your home would be more than happy to answer any questions about the Bible, the Bible. Please take this opportunity to find the answers you deserve.

Wrong and avoid JW, unless float your boat, they are a cult of Christianity by the way, I am sure that God has no problem with birthday parties and children's toys in my humble opinion. Be that as it were, can, as they are the problem and the inability of those who declare, "replied raised. Theologians have a place to understand the writings and words are very important in terms of translation and how many of us talk and study about Arimatic in ancient writings, and that the Greek translation of the Old English translation, etc Modern English is complex and needs time in order to understand that it is symbolic and multilayered. Speaking the literal translation is not the problem in many places the theologian of reality can be a good way forward. There are several books in the name Companion Bible backgrounds. Protestants, Catholics and the Orthodox understanding of theology of the parables, while contributing Catholics and Orthodox theologians often. My advice would be to avoid fundalmentalist Christianized anded service points finish is not very narrow and literal. Allegorical works better that way .. interepted not a forum like this and groups of people who are a little war to attack the scriptures and beliefs, and vice versa, the persons in question by attempting to fire and brimstone than an innocent question, to understand a religious text, The wrong attitude or be attacked. But reading and questions at the end, find someone who can help you understand different viewpoints and metafora parables.
Good luck and remember nothing is easy in any spiritual path, Zen Satori can be tedious, and it is rare. The best advice is put into a verifiable Christian monk with a line-depth questions, to pray Council to meditate and the Gospels, you find what you are looking for and more. NIV, King James, New American Bible for Catholics are good versions. I can also help to students.

Read a thousand times and find something new every time you try a new international regime or not King James, Tyndale than the actual reading of the Bible have all RV LB 1 Tyndale live 21 times read. I found that the majority are permitted, DG Theo Lev 23 Moses said to tell these people that they are my holy days and said in Exodus chapter 31 verse 12 = 15 DI-S, that day is a sabbath eternal covenant speaks DG

lol
This kind of noises in response to a small coverage of the correct answer would be: "I do not know, but it has a verse in which I b / c" The Bible says return '

kea33w said...

Not a good response. The Bible has changed a bit. Take with a grain of salt.

LindaLou said...

It is the response of the lazy person. You can no exact answer, because you probably do not know that the Bible is enough to give at least one chapter and reference lines.

The same "answer" they can talk about the different people that you have read the Bible to be interpreted. And found incidentally, where dozens of versions is the correct "reply"?

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I do not know what the answer either.

To summarize all Questio in so few words are:
We have in the Creator with his spirit, soul and spirit. God is in your heart, and you have something of their supreme being that here the sky and all the planets and trees and grass, etc. God's answer is not always believe in the Bible that fit ... You have to do some important research, and oh, do not forget somethings are not hidden, and some things are not for ... Be wary of his research. And do not forget, for the things we pray in the brain for some positive.

Some people do not admit that the world has not found the same things in the Bible as they do.
