The Bible is the Word of God. it is cross-cultural and cuts though all
languages, people groups and time; it does not need us to make things up or bend
it out of shape. It does not need to be diluted or watered down to make it
palatable. All you have to do is explain it, in love, with the above precepts of
passion, conviction, compassion, clarity, and Truth. The Word is the peg that
goes into both the round and the square hole! You do not need to reshape the peg
of His Truth. You are to know the culture of others and be relevant, but love
that is real, along with the Gospel, needs no modifying. Essential doctrine is
crucial because we are proclaiming God, and God is a God of Truth! We are His
ambassadors; we are never to misrepresent Him!
We are to do our best to witness, pray, evangelize,
do missions, and put forth every effort we can to expedite His Word. And, as a
Christian saved by His grace, we have to remember that we still need to repent,
even though He paid it all, because we love Him and want to obey His
decree.

I just started to follow your blog. I love the Into Thy Word site. I have been studying and learning so much. Thank you.
Good try my friend but you must understand the word IS the word if you can believe that some of 1 Thessalonians is true then it all must be true. Not only that, Most Hebraic words do not translate into any language as proposed by God. Speak with a Rabbi about that, and he/she will give you a Hebraic mindset. And lastly, there was only the Torah before Christ and everything there came to pass so why not in the new testament?Be blessed,Minister Benson
