You can make the Bible say almost anything. Or you can let it speak for itself. Here are some practical ways to make sure that your opinions don't get in the road when you read the Bible.
It sounds so good to have everyone going to Heaven. But the old spiritual declares that “not everyone talkin’ about Heaven is a-goin’ there.” That coincides with Biblical teaching.

The initial step of salvation is a very personal experience between you and God alone. Convictions need to be based on the Word of God and not upon a man or written decrees of the church. So where does the church enter into the equation? What authority do church leaders have?
So why can’t we go to Tim and say that his eyes should be opened so he can receive his sight? They certainly could have done that in Jesus’ day! Is there something wrong with our faith, that we are unable to heal people like the disciples did when Jesus was here?
