If only people understood the word of God?

I agree that the world would be a much better place if everyone understood the word of God and believed in Him, but unfortunately that's not going to happen until the second coming of Christ! Even people who walked the Earth with Jesus and saw the miracles He performed and listened to His teaching didn't believe. If those who had first-hand knowledge refused to believe then how much more will people refuse to believe what is written in a book? It's very sad really. But there will be a day when every knee shall bow! I'm looking forward to that day! God bless you.

Because if he would have reveled to them the secret of his parables they would have seen and heard and been converted do to the simplicity that is in Christ. So they and many still today are made blind to the truth.

If Divinity wanted us to dwell upon the written word, he might have put it down on tablets of stone again.\nChrist could read.  Many of his followers could write.  Why did he not dictate exactly what we needed to know so that there would be no confusion?\nAs for laws, see below:

QURAN is the only WORD OF GOD in ORIGINAL/PURE FORM. Reason is clear in the verse below, that GOD promised to protect QURAN.\n\n[15:9] Absolutely, we have revealed the reminder, and, absolutely, we will preserve it. \n\nhttp://www.submission.org/suras/sura15.htm

No, we should share the words of God with others.  But also be objective if others have a different understanding of the same text.  It is always good to have more than one verse to support your position. \n\nI don't think that you will condemn yourself.

Ok get this... God said that it wouldn't happen until the good news of the kingdom were preached throughout the entire inhabited earth, ok? THEN by that reasoning, all the people you're asking about will have learned of it and had the chance to accept or reject it. So then they would be done away with if they rejected it :)

Only if they had felt the faith/belief in their heart. They can understand intellectually but not completely.

Unless a person is connected and worship in a church that teaches the Word, they will probably not read it much on their own, therefore they can't live it if they don't read, learn, or know it.  I was that way for a little while in my christian life, so that's the source I can witness about.  Once I was lead to a church that required you to bring your Bible with you, paper and pen, I began learning and loving the Word, which then became my lifestyle.  I hope that helps!

The Word of God (King James Version of the Holy Bible), is Life.\n\nBut most people do not understand it. If you'd like to know more, then click here...\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/bibletruths_forbelievers/

why wouldnt it be? I think you may be confusing God with Jesus Christ. yes they may be one in the same now, but "in the beginning".. there was ONLY GOD!! the old testament is still the word of God, as told by different people and proffets.

I agree with you on your points. The problem is that people cannot look at the Bible objectively. The part that gets me the most like you said that they cannot see the fundamental difference between the OT and NT and how they completely clash with each other.\n\nI also find it funny to think that if you Believe in the Bible then automatically that works like the Koran and the Veddas also cannot by divinely inspired. Who is to say that G-d did not give different religions to different people.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.\nBible is God's word, none can deny that. everything in bible is not the views of any individuals rather they are Gods views. Bible was written by the power of Holy Spirit, by people filled with holy spirit. so the holy spirit speaks thro Bible. so it is God speaking thro bible.\nIT IS GOD'S VOICE.\nSO IF YOU DON'T HEAR AND RECOGNIZE YOUR SHEPPERD'S{JESUS} VOICE, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FOLLOW HIM??? IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO FOLLOW HIM THEN HOW CAN YOU BE HIS FLOCK???

The word of God is so much more in depth than we realize.the meanings don't contradict each other they just have more and more meaning.My friends and I can go to Bible study and each come away with differant things we got from it,then when we share those things,it's like the study has even more meaning.What you learn might be differant than what someone else learned but when you share then you've both learned even more.Does that make sense.

I 100% agree. God has authority over all creation and the bible is God's word written by man inspired by God the father and sent to us as a gift of love (just like his son Jesus) to help us understand what he asks of us and as an instruction on how to live. Read it, meditate on it and do not allow the skeptics and unbelief of the world tear you from it. Whether the world wants to accept it or not does not mean it does'nt apply to them. God Bless praying for you Yohanna ramirez

I don't see why not.  People take the bible too literally.

The questioner's point is that Jehovah God's Word the Bible explains clearly that this world, this system of things, is temporary and has no expectation of success for all humanity. Other gods and belief systems teach that this system is the one we are stuck with, yet such beliefs have been unsuccessful for thousands of years.\n\n(2 Corinthians 4:3,4) If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through

Only in a figurative, not a literal or actual, sense. There is much beautiful language in the Bible.
