rot Often wermiss or fail to see the main point in Scripture Passage because we dolot read far cn ough or carefully enough The books of the Bible were orlglnA ally written in Greek Hebrew and Latin Only the very learned could read them Then along in the sixteen hundred men he gan translating them into other languages so thatall who could read andallwho listened to the reading Scripture might und crstnnd We sometimes like to talk about the gnorancé oftho masses in the Middle Ages when only theselechcw had access to an ilndcrstanding of the Scrlp tures One would almost be led to believe when he bears some ot the loose use of Biblical quo tations today that there is still certain amount of ignoranceot the masses in our agewith all our learning and enlightenment Sometimes Scripture is doubled because known fflClS0l known facts are doubted because of Scripture When the vlsraelites were fighting against the Amoritcs Joshua their leader asked that the moon and sun stand still They were already successful but they necdedra few more hours of daylight in order to completely defeat the enemy The sun stood still in the heaven for the length of about whole day and allowed the Israelites complete victory See Joshua 1024 Yr This passage has caused some to say that scientists dont know what they are talking about if the earth moves why did Joshua ask for the sun and moon to stand still It has caused othersrtosw that the Biblels lot of tommy The sun doesnt move so how could Joshuas request leng then thc day We must remember that the Biblewasnt written to prove scl entitle facts People didnt have the knowledge in those days that we have today regarding the move ment fol thebcavenly bodies so naturally Joshua would believe thatthe sun would need tostand still in order to lengthen the day The mrun point here was the lengthening of the day in order that Gods will might be fulflllcd it also shows that God under stands mans rcquests imperfect though they may be just asronc understands the mperfect lan guage of avsmull child People at various times have taken factsjrom the Biblercspcc iallyfrom thellook of Revelation and tried to use them to prove to humanltythat the end of the world was coming at certain time Since the invention of the atomic bomb and also because of the vast changes in modes ofliv ing since the first world war some are sure that he end even

tlllatt 2436 Acts 10 915Paters vision of clean and unclean animals being let down from heaven and voice telling him to kill and cat has beenused by many to try to prove that it is quite in order for humans to eat anything even reptiles regardless of the old Jewish laws We mustread the whole of the tenth chapter of Acts to get the full mean gand significance of Peters vision The Jews at this time believed that anyone whowas not cw could not be child of God Eventhe ones who had be me gt Christian Ibe dl for the Jews only The vision was to show Peter that though at one timeonlythe Jews wcre Gods chosen people that now by Christs death all people Jew or Gentilecoulli be Gods chosen people if they re pented and believed the Gospel This was to prcparePeter that he would readin 50 to the Gen tiles when calledifupdnby the men sent from Cornelius The in this chapter are and he saidilo them You yourselves how how unlaw fltl it is for Jewlo associate with or to visit anyone of ano ther nation but God has shown me that should not call any man com on or unclea Verse 84 Ao Peter opened his mouth and said1ruly perceive that God showslno partiality but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him Verses 45 47 and 48 where we are told of the HolySpirit being received by the Gentiles further proves Pel crs point So you see this chapter or noth ingin it has anything to do with what we should or should not eat Take therefore no thought of the mortawfor the marrow shall mke thought rol the things of it self Matt oat King James Version Therefore do not be

the idea 111 wilrry about that when thetime comes The above instructiunflom the book of Matthew was meant to warn us against foolish worry and worry lest our plans for the future dont work out It does not at all mean that weare to make no plans or provision whatever for the eveningof our lives Remember Solomon said Go to the ant Sluggardconsider her ways and be wise Prov 66 The ant stores food
