    It is one of the strange paradoxes of those early days that while people departed from God, and went into grievous sin, they did not become either atheists nor unbelievers when it came to the question of the existence of a prayer-answering God. Wicked men held fast to a belief in God’s existence, and to faith in the power of prayer to secure pardon for sin and to deliver them from God’s wrath. It is worth something as
    showing the influence of the Church on sinners, when the latter believe in prayer and beg Christian people to pray for them. It is an item of interest and an event of importance when a sinner on a dying bed calls for a praying man to come to his bedside to pray for him. It means something when penitent sinners, under a sense of their guilt, feeling the displeasure of God, approach a church altar and say, “Pray for me, ye praying men and women.” Little does the Church understand its full import, and still less does the Church appreciate and take in the full import of praying, especially for the unsaved men and women who ask them to pray for their immortal souls. If the Church was fully alive to God and awake to the real peril of the unconverted all about it, and was in a thriving state, more sinners would be found seeking the altars of the Church and crying out to praying people, “Pray for my soul.” Much so-called praying for sinners there may be, but it is cold, formal, official praying, which goes nowhere, never reaches God, and accomplishes nothing.
    Revivals begin when sinners seek the prayers of praying people.

      @Desire Of All Nations @DOAN, I have already previously exchanged comments with you. The Hebrew Roots/Torah Observant movement rejects progressive revelation. New Covenant Christians do not keep the Mosaic Covenant feasts, festivals, dietary restrictions, etc. We are not " lawless" and we are not in sin. The feasts, festivals ,etc. of the nation of Israel were typological shadows pointing forward to Christ.

      @Uncas Unga
      It is the Bible that shows that one is without righteousness, that there is a loving God willing to forgive. Your argument that "the Bible is useless' demeans the value of something that God spent a great deal of effort to correct in giving to Moses, and seeing delivered verbatim to the last days.
      "All Scripture God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."

      To read a text in context is to read metaphors as metaphors. Similes as similes. Poetry as poetry. Wisdom literature as wisdom literature. Historical narrative as historical narrative. Allegory as allegory. Apocryphal as apocryphal.

    The ONLY way one can become Biblically literate is by being born again of the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit enters you and He is the Spirit of Truth and the inspiration behind all scripture. Without the indwelling Spirit you can have all the brains in the world inside your head, with all the Hebrew and Greek knowledge and still not have a clue on spiritual matters.
