Christianity and its deeper enigmas?

[Clovis]

I have notice that many things involving Christ can be looked upon as saying more or a multiplicity of things, or that it meant a certain thing at a certain time, yet becomes new to a new time. Matthew:5:11: Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. This saying of Christ not only as God willed, put his followers on the path of establishing his name through faith and martyrdom, but likewise could mean that, with the popularity of Christendom, that the righteous will be accused in the end tribulation by people who call themselves Christians, hence them thinking it for Christ’s sake.

I also believed deeply in the Gospel of John as the key Gospel to the deep symbolisms in Christianity, when Christ has said “their are many things I still have to tell you, but you couldn’t bare them now;” I most assuredly believe him. And if he himself, at least wholly will not be around us during the tribulation, than his ‘Helper’ will be among us to explain the mystery of God as Christ said, “I have spoken to you figuratively, but one day I shall speak to you plainly about the father.” Why do Christians seem so obsessed with the Anti-Christ, when it is actually the sweet and bitter book which is the marvel of Revelation; I hypothesis it is either out of fear, or some type of pleasure derived in picturing the inflictions of non-believers.

Most wholly I am in rapture at the eternal words of Christ, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free;” Imagine that, not chained to anything anymore but completely and utterly free, that somehow this whole world and its creature understood and the bitterness overcame eternally. Amen!

And this is the beauty of Bible Study! We see what God did in history (the literal sense), how it applies to our decisions (moral sense), and maybe even how it relates to other situations (allegorical sense). We study to better understand God and what He asks of us and how to become more Christ-like.

It’s amazing how many times I’ve been in a Bible study where someone read a Scripture passage they’d heard or read dozens of times before, and, suddenly, something new jumped out at them that spoke very direcetly to a current situation or problem in their lives!
