Are there certain teachings or commandments in the bible that we can push aside and ignore as if they were not there?

Are half truths acceptable?

When is it ok to just sit back and do nothing when we know that what's being put forth is not entirely true?

There are no errors in the Word of God.

Perhaps I don't understand the question either. :emot-hug:

I would say one should never ignore anything in the scriptures. What we need to do is seek to understand how each passage applies to us and what God is trying to say to us

It's easy for one to sit back and throw up there hands in the day that we are living in but even in our mixed up church world today we as believers have to give heed to the scriptures below:

Ephesians 6:14-17--"Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace: Above all, taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked..............

If one knows something to be false it is their responsibility to not accept it as truth as the word says also, "that if a man have faith let him have it to himself." Not everything I hear is 100% truth but I don't have to agree with everyone to get along with others. There also comes times in our lives where seperation is inevitable as light cannot dwell with darkness.

You should read Ephesians 5

Your three questions are exactly what others want me to do, stating that some scriptures do not pertain to today. I questioned the church about 1 Timothy 2,3 & 4 and Titus 1, for they were allowing women to have authority over men, and I was hammered in church for even thinking that. They told me that these scriptures do not pertain to today. When did God change? How much more of His word is not for today? Where does one draw the line and say ENOUGH?

I don't understand your question.

When the Word of God (which is truth ) is woven together with lies.....when is it ok to not say anything about it?

I would hope never, but we all, at one time or another, may find it best to walk away in peace. It all depends how the issue was brought up and for what purpose.

Shalom Eric,

AMEN!!

We are NEVER to ignore the Scriptures. However, as Eric stated we are to seek the L-rd and how He wants us to APPLY the Scriptures to our lives.

Some people interpret them one way and act accordingly, and others interpret other ways and act accordingly. The problem comes in when someone interprets Scripture and tries to make it binding on everyone else. Not all Scripture applies to all.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
