The burning bush appeared as Gods direction to Moses to seek freedom from the bondage of Egypt for his people Israel.
The Ten Commandments were given during their exodus from bondage in route to the land promised unto their forefathers.
When Moses went up onto the mountain the entire mountain was covered in fire and smoke, one of the links I posted earlier reveals discovery of the entire top of a mountain in the same region blackened by fire.
The Old Testament contains different sections, both history (the first five books) and Prophecy.
The history was written by man as Testimony of how God freed his People from slavery and bondage to Egypt, their laws of the time and genealogy.
The Prophecy was also written by the hand of man, yet inspired by God.
Over one hundred times the Old Testament Prophecy refers to a birth, life, crucifiction, death and ressurection.
To understand this Prophecy as correct takes only one realization, every Prophecy was fulfilled by one being \ person Jesus Christ.
Take for example Isaiah's Prophecy, he Prophecied the life, crucifiction, burial and ressurection of Jesus..... 700 years before Jesus was born and extremely accurate, how ?
Coincidence ? no way, coincidence could be that accurate and all occur in one life span of 33 years.
When Abraham was told by God to take Isaac up on the mountain and sacrifice his only son to him it was a symbolic mirror of God sacrificing His only begotten son (Jesus) for the sin of all mankind.
The "telephone game" is something that I am very aware of, though much more serious than a "game".
Many, many times over the last several years the Bible, originally translated from the original Hebrew and Greek texts has been made into "more modern translations" leaving out, changing and adding things to suit a more modern society.
"Easier to understand" does not make it correct if much of the truth is altered.
After many years of reviewing different translations, I myself stay with the King James 1611 translation.
King James went to great lengths to assure both it's translators and how it was translated, any dispute or disagreement was settled by councils of very learned men reviewing the original text in the original language until it was agreed upon.
The KJV 1611 is one of few "word for word" translations, most are "thought for thought", hence.... the "telephone game".
I do not prefer another's thought, rather the inspired truth, nor "commentaries" another's comments on the Bibles meaning.
The KJV cannot be completely understood by common man, it is only with the help of the Holy Spirit that it's truths are revealed and understood.
The Bible tells us plainly that Preaching is not to be of mans knowledge, rather it is to be a demonstration of the Spirit and of Power.
It also tells us that "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."
I DO NOT BELIEVE IN RELIGION, I believe in Salvation, through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
The Bible tells us that we are saved by Grace (undeserved, unearned favor) by Faith (that Jesus was the only begotten son of God that suffered and died for the sin of all mankind, then rose again)
conquering sin, death, hell and the grave.
Todays "Religion" is organized politics, harsh but true, its more about a big crowd and full offering plate than concern for our fellow man.
Salvation is in the heart not the head, it is Agape love, sharing the love of God with our fellow man regardless of who or what they are, that was my first post in this topic.
Although I Pastor and at times Evangelize I do not accept money.
I know where the Lord brought me from, what I once was.
I serve Him out of love.
You see I was addicted to crack many years ago, God still loved me.
