First
of all, please understand that none of what is to follow is meant to unfairly
demean, embarrass nor insult anyone for anything they may want to believe is
the truth. For I have a spent a great deal of my life stumbling around in the
darkness of spiritual ignorance while fully believing that I was walking
upright in the Light, and it was not until our Heavenly Father started making
Himself real to me (as opposed to just being a character in an ancient book)
that I starting realizing how deceived I was.
Another
thing that needs to be explained beforehand is that all references to our
Heavenly Father, who truly is the Lord God Almighty and the Creator of all that
exists apart from Himself, in this piece are also references to His only
begotten Son, who truly is the Lord Jesus Christ, and His Holy Spirit. For they
truly are one and the same with one another.
Above
all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the
prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in
the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried
along by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:20-21 NIV
[2Peter 1:20-21] is a good place to start a serious discussion on the possibility
of there being some missing Scripture. For if it cannot be accepted on faith
that all true Scripture comes directly from our Heavenly Father, there is no
reason for paying all that much attention to what is contained in what is
claimed to be His Holy Bible. That is, except for maybe as a source of historical
references and as part of a study of ancient philosophies. For its contents would be from just people
not so unlike ourselves.
But
there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false
teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even
denying the sovereign Lord who bought them —bringing swift destruction on
themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of
truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with
fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and
their destruction has not been sleeping. 2 Peter 2:1-3 NIV
[2 Peter 2:1-3] is the second part of the passage that started with 2 Peter 1:20,
and it is certainly relevant to this discussion. For it touches upon the
absolute truth of the matter truly being that not everything that has been (and
still is) taught in our Heavenly Father’s name truly is of Him.
More
specifically, there has been much coming from many a pulpit that has led scores
of congregants to lean toward accepting that much (if not most) of what is
contained in our Heavenly Father’s Holy Bible is nothing more than merely the
personal observations of people who just happened to be alive way back when.
Taking that even further is that it has been taught that it was another group
of mere mortals who decided what would be included in the official canon of
Scripture, which leaves the door wide open for speculation on the possibility
of something important being left out.
Yes,
it can be argued that our Heavenly Father was the first to open that door. For
there is a reference to a prophecy given through Enoch in [Jude 1:14], and there
is no mention of it in the Book of Genesis, which is where one would naturally
think that his words would be recorded.
That is, unless the Book of Enoch should have been included in the
official canon of Scripture, of course.
Alas,
there would not be any desire to speculate about the possibility of missing
Scripture if there was not a wanting to believe in something that is either not
included in our Heavenly Father’s Holy Bible or not appearing to be made clear
enough for satisfaction. A good example of this would be the importance of the [Bookof Enoch] to those who want to believe that there really has been a true battle
between good and evil angels going on since the Garden of Eden, and that our
fate rests upon who ultimately wins.
The
key to truly knowing and understanding is to truly have a very close and
personal relationship with our Heavenly Father. For without that, there is no
way to really know if anything contained in His Holy Bible is any more true
than what is contained in any of the other texts that are held to be sacred by
others.
Be
forewarned that much of what our Heavenly Father wants to personally reveal to
you that will come as quite a shock. Well, at least it did to me. For there is
much about what He actually says is absolutely true that is quite contrary to
what has been (and still is) taught in Him most holy name.
One
of those things is that His Holy Bible was never meant to be employed as a book
of instruction—certainly not in the same way as a school textbook on
mathematics, science nor even history normally would be. For His Holy
Scriptures were given to serve as written confirmation of what He wants to
personally reveal to each and every one of us, on an individual basis and
without exception.
No,
it will not be the same for all. For it all depends upon what our Heavenly
Father wants to accomplish in and through someone that determines when (and to
what extent) He will allow and enable them to enter into His absolute truth,
but be assured that this does not mean that some are more important to Him than
others. Tragically, far too many refuse
to answer His call to come closer to Him on account of not considering
themselves worthy when He is the one who justifies.
If
you have not quite caught on yet, I am here to say that there is no missing
Scripture. For the true versions of our
Heavenly Father’s Holy Bible do indeed contain the sum-total of His Holy
Scriptures. Let’s leave a discussion on which versions are actually true for
another day—okay?
No,
I am not an authority, but I am authorized.
Not to speak for our Heavenly Father, but to boldly proclaim that He does
indeed speak through me at times.
