Hi Shirby,

Welcome to our forum!

You are beginning a study that could keep you busy for a lifetime. No one could ever plumb all the depths of the Bible if they lived a thousand years.

So where to start? Well - if you want to see how the Bible Wheel opens Scripture to new insights, I guess the best place to start would be in the beginning. Here is a link to Chapter 1 (http://biblewheel.com/book/Chapters/Chapt01.asp) of the Bible Wheel book. There are many other chapters online, and you can download the whole book for free here (http://biblewheel.com/Book/eBook.asp).

The next step is for you to read a little, and than ask me any questions that might come up. I look forward to discussing this with you.

All the very best!

Richard

Hey Shirby,

It's great to have you finally on the Bible Wheel :welcome: Well, where to start?

I would also as Richard said, to start with chapter one of the wheel. It will give you a good foundation of how the scriptures evolve around other scriptures to reveal the meaning. I look forward to dicussing it with you.

hi beck does god really forgive you for sinning?what part of the bible tells us that?

Good question, Shirby

I think of "all unrighteousness" when I first readed you question in so here's a scripture.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I'm sure there more, give me a minute or maybe someone else will response.

Additions

Psalm 1031Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities(sins); who healeth all thy diseases;

4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

So it is by God grace that he forgives us of our sins through the blood of Jesus.

Romans 3:23-2523For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Shirby, think of it this way, as you pray for your enemies which hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you... that your prays may enter heaven's throne and through those prayer that Satan will be bound. And that you may become perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect. That speaks of patience unto a mature christain. Some scripture references.


Matthew 5:44-48
44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

James 1:2-4
2My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

With all that it doesn't make it easy does it? :pray:
