The "Me" Bible

We live in a society right now in which the ultimate wrong is to offend somebody. Everyone is to be accepted, even validated, no matter what they think or believe or even do! Formerly this was called being “politically correct,” but now I think we can just call it being “me.” The individual has become the sole arbitrator of what is right/wrong, good/bad, true/false, etc., for themselves. So since there are no cultural “norms” anymore, it is quite easy to offend anybody!
To show us how ridiculous and destructive this is, we want to suggest here how a “Me” Bible might read. Be sure and check the Bible text as you look at each verse.
Luke 11:23 - He who is not with Me is just doing his own thing. He is following his own heart so leave him alone.
Luke 11:28 - Blessed are those who hear the word of God and reinterpret it to suit their own lifestyle. They will be happy.
Luke 12:5 - There is nothing to fear. God is not going to destroy anybody in hell. He loves all people.
Luke 12:8-9 - If you don’t wish to confess Me before men, that’s OK. I realize it’s a difficult thing to do, and you might be ridiculed, or feel uncomfortable, or even lose your job. And God wouldn’t want that to happen to you.
Luke 12:15 - Don’t worry about being greedy. After all, the more you have the more you can give to others, right? And you are certainly the best person to decide what to do with what you have.
Luke 12:23 - If you don’t have anything to eat or anything to wear, you’ll forever be laboring to get those things. So, seek food and clothing first of all, and then you’ll be able to concentrate on the things that are more important to you in life.
Luke 12:40 - Being ready for Jesus to come back would be a nice thing to do, but don’t spend too much time on it. After all, everybody is going to be saved, so it’s not such a big deal.
So, how do you like the “Me” Bible. Sound familiar? Are these the words of a God of truth who genuinely loves people?
