What is the central theme of the Bible study in this episode?
I am unashamed. What about you? Welcome back to Unashamed. We're finally getting back to our study today in the book of John. And Jason, it was funny because I was at an event recently and I was signing books. And so, you know, we've written a few different books and I've contributed to other ones. So I've always tried to come up with like a unique verse for every book. You know, the kind of whatever the verse is I write. Kind of fits the theme of the book, you know? And so problem is when you write several books, you sometimes forget what the verse is for the right book. So it causes me to have to think a second before I do it. And so I was telling this guy, we were saying, we have a book called desperate forgiveness.
And so I found this verse in Luke 747 where the woman is at Jesus' feet, and he looks at her, looks at Simon, who's judging her, the Pharisee, and he says, to the one who has been forgiven much, they will love much. And so that's Luke 747. So that was what I was going to sign in the book. But when we first came out with the book, I was signing John. Just, you know, one little, yeah, I want you to look it up because it has quite a different message than Luke 747. So what does it say? John 747. It says, you mean he has deceived you also? The Pharisee retorted, which I don't know retorted is even in the Bible anywhere with this verse. So I did it for several books and nobody ever said anything. I never heard back from anybody.
And this book was new. And then finally, our old friend, Bob DeMoss, Sent me a note and said, hey, congrats on your new book. And he said, what did you mean, though, the reference in John 747? He has deceived you as well, which was so funny. And I was just laughing. I was like, oh, man. So I texted him back. I said, what do you think I meant by that? How many people got that? Probably 300 people.
What are the consequences of misquoting Bible verses?
So I'm sure someone... Oh, you've wrecked.
I'm sure someone... 300 people out there just wrecked because they're thinking, what have I done?
Someone out there in the understanding of the nation. But Alex sent me this. So this happened to someone else. This was someone who... was asked to read a text at a wedding. I thought it was appropriate since we're in the book of John. And the text this person was supposed to read is 1 John 4, 18, which says, There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment. Whoever fears has not been perfected in love. And so that's the verse they were supposed to read. Well, what they actually read was John... 418, which again had quite the different meaning. James, you want to read John 418? So not the perfect love. Instead, read it, James.
John 418 says, the fact is you've had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is quite true.
So that actually happened. And someone's wedding. Could you imagine this person reading that text and everybody looking around each other thinking, what does that have to do? That's kind of a sick joke here, Al.
I'm telling you, these are things that actually happen. You've got to be perfect. prepared when you go in, you know what I mean? You need to know what you're writing down.
How do we recognize Jesus at the end of time?
Well, I think the point is these numbers, they were created just so people could keep up with it. They were not written in this format.
Yeah. When John wrote his letters, he didn't say, you know, I think I'll call this one First John.
Well, it's like when Trump called, you know, Corinthians, Two Corinthians, which a lot of people do that. Right. They were like, oh, he's mispronouncing. Yeah. Because you say, I mean, I say 2 Corinthians. But I've heard a lot of preachers say 2 Corinthians. Yeah. But I've noticed most of them are not from this country. Right. So I don't know. Where to go with that? But the bottom line is it's about a person. So maybe there's some truth in there. That's why I don't like these sermons that just go, these sermon series that just, when people say, hey, we go text by text, verse by verse. But sometimes you miss the big picture doing that.
