And the teacher said to "turn to 2 Thessalonians" but I couldn't find it. I knew where it was supposed to be, but it wasn't there, and his bible had SOME of the books of the bible but a lot were missing and, where there were books missing or out of order, it was filled ...up with stories and cartoon-like images that had to be interpreted to be read.
The images were meant to be read, but they weren't complete, so you had to guess a lot. Like the dog-beast-thing was up on top of something, a countertop maybe, and then the next picture, he was down on the floor as if he'd either jumped, fallen, or had been pushed, There was no way to "read" that without skipping important details or adding to it with your own imagination.
And when I woke up, I thought Wow, that's the way a lot of people's bible-understanding is. They are missing true knowledge, and they have added in fables and images that aren't complete or cohesive. And they've become so accustomed to these stories and cartoons, that they don't know them from the real word of God.
Lord, help us all to get all the stories and ideas out, and get rid of everything that isn't the real unadulterated truth of God, and help us to understand what is truth.
