Bible Truth

MAJOR IAN THOMAS SAID IT: “I’m tired of religion - and to be entirely honest know nothing quite so boring as Christianity without Christ. ...but I know nothing so utterly exciting as being a Christian - sharing the very life of Jesus Christ on earth right here and now, and being caught up with Him into the relentless, invincible purposes of an almighty God, and with all the limitless resources of deity available for the job.”

“It is important to bear in mind that the whole Bible, throughout both the Old and New Testaments, is a total revelation authored by the Holy Spirit, and no part may be detached from the rest nor be incompatible to the truth as consistently revealed throughout the whole of Scripture.”

“...The Holy Spirit as Author of the Bible has chosen particular people, nations, countries, animals or inanimate objects as symbols with which to convey certain specific spiritual meanings. Once you have learned the language of the Holy Spirit and recognized one of these symbols in any particular portion of the Bible, you will be alerted to the fact that He is making reference to that which is represented by the particular symbol which He is using.”

“It is the spiritual significance of these symbols which I have described above as a ‘spiritual constant,’ because of the relentless consistency with which the Holy Spirit uses these symbols throughout the whole of the Bible. One such which readily comes to mind is oil, which in both the Old and New Testaments represents the person, office, and work of the Holy Spirit Himself, as indeed do wide and fire.” [If I Perish, I Perish, Major Ian Thomas, pp 11-17].
