The Bible on Trial!

I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. Rev. 3:18.

Gold that has been refined is pure. Truth, like gold, can only be pure if it has been refined. There is no need at all to refine fatih. In fact if faith were to be refined it would disappear into thin air. Jes

"Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but they that are wise shall understand." Dan. 12:10.

Gold does not purity itself, or by some magic refine itself. Someone must have the where-with-all to perform (DO) the refining. That person is the person that values the truth above all earthly posession, because the Truth is not of this earth, not of this realm.

Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm." John 18:36.

The Kingdom of Truth is the THIS Kingdom of the Heavens. If a person is to achieve entry into the Kingdom of the Heaven they must gain that entry not through physical means, but through the Spiritual identity that comes from intimately knowing the King of that Kingdom. And there is only one way to KNOW the King of that Kigndom, and that is to DO what that King has established as the WAY, that leads to that Truth, that leads to the Life that is found in that Kingdom. Jesus himself established what it was that a person had to do to gain entry to that Kingdom of Truth;

So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. Rev. 12:17.
