Is it possible for someone to be a Christian if they haven't read the bible or intentionally memoryhole certain verses and books? How do you handle people like this who spread inaccuracies to others? Do you correct them, knowing they might rage quit, or do you just leave them be hoping they'll eventually read the truth?

There is a difference between not reading the Bible and deliberately spreading inaccuracies.

Yes because of 1 corinthinas 15:44

>or intentionally memoryhole certain verses and books?

This can't happen permenently because of 1 peter 1:25 and 2 timothy 3:16 for inspiration.

>How do you handle people like this who spread inaccuracies to others?

Rebuke them, if they were Christians they will humble themselves.

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

Is this the verse you meant? Are you saying people are Christians by virtue of Christ raising the dead?

No I am saying people are Christians by God giving spirits to Christians in line with 1 corinthians 15:38. So the unbeleivers lack it being ecclesasties 3:18-21's. if you are about to say that soul = spirit and that souls can't die then see 1 thesselonians 5:23 and revelation 16:3 You do nothing to become a Christians. What you work for is James 2:21-23 while galatians 3:16 is in reference to those that can have faith because of romans 10:17. But unless you have a body to have ears to hear, then this is useless to you. For you shew your galatians 3:7-8 through works not of the law, but of James 2:24.

After thinking about it, I guess it makes sense. Aborted children and infants haven't read the bible, yet are closer to God.

How did you look all those verses up in less then three minutes?

Christanon 10/25/17 (Wed) 21:20:31 8c0049 No.544511

>>544510

I meant about 1 Corinthians 15:44.

Yes because they could also hear the word of God, in case they cannot read.

>or intentionally memoryhole certain verses and books?

You don't need to memoryhold them. Just mark these down as something you don't understand yet and keep reading. Very often, you will come back to it later and it will make sense based on the Bible you read since last time. Of course, you need to have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ for real understanding to begin to work in you, but as it says in Romans 10:17, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. So you can always start by just reading it with the honest intention to learn.

It will help if you ask God to give you understanding. If you have the Holy Spirit interpreting the Bible, it is possible to understand anything it says. But all of this takes patience.
