IT AIN'T

 

 NECESSARILY SO

 

 

George Gershwin

wrote a song many years ago

that went like this

 

 

 

 It ain't necessarily so.

 the things that you're liable

 to read in the Bible 

 it ain't necessarily so.

 

 

 

 

When I speak and say that the Bible

should not be

taken literally,

 

I receive comments

that I am being Satanic and that the

Bible is Gods word and

must be taken literally.


 I will offer proof the Bible

 cannot be taken literally

 and is not  

 God's unerring word

  

 

 The Bible most read throughout

 the world by far is

 The King James Bible.

 

 

 

  It is the initial translation from

  Greek into English.

 

 

  If you open the

  King James Bible

  you will find words

  written in italics.

 

 

 


 

 

 

PSALM 38:16

For I said,  

Hear me, lest otherwise 

they should rejoice over me

when my foot

slippeth, they magnify themselves,

against me.

 

 


ECCLESIASTES 3:1

To every thing there is a season,

and a time to every purpose

under the heaven.

 



 

 


  There is a reason for this

  which has to do with

  the Bible writings being

  formed by people.

 

 

 

  In translating the Bible from 

  Greek to English

  the translators found that the

  same words in Hebrew and Greek

  had different meanings.

 

           

 

  So what they did was put

  into the text what

   they thought what the

  best interpretation

  would be and they put it

  in italics to show

  that it was not in

  the original text.

 

 

 

  We have two points here

 

 

 We have Hebrew and Greek scripture

 using the same words that may

 mean        

   two totally different things.

 



 

 

  Then we have interpreters

  coming along and    

  translating the 

  Greek into English and 

  saying,

           

  Well we think that it would

  be best to reach       

  this conclusion as to what was        

  meant.

 


   What they were saying 

   by writing in italics is,

 


" This is not what the original says but 

   we think that this is better and easier

   for you to understand. 

 

 

    So there is your unerring

    word of God being

    changed by people trying

    to make it           

    easier for you to understand

    and Christianity      

    saying it must be taken literally                  

    because it's God's word. 



 

     Not when somebody with a pen

     starts changing the words. 

          

     When that happens,

     then what you're reading ,

     ain't necessarily so.


        

      So now here are the words to

      George Gershwins song.

 

          

 

       It ain't necessarily so,         

       It ain't necessarily so,

       The things that you're liable

       to read in the Bible,

       It ain't necessarily so.






Li'l David was small,but oh my !,

Li'l David was small but oh my !,     

He fought Big Goliath 

who lay down an' dieth !

Li'l David was small, but oh my !

 

 

 


Oh Jonah, he lived in the whale,

 

Oh Jonah, he lived in the whale, 

For he made his home in 

that fish's abdomen

 

Oh Jonah, he lived in the whale.

Li'l Moses was found in a stream.

Li'l Moses was found in a stream. 


He floated on water
       

Till Ol' Pharaoh's daughter, 

She fished him,

She said, from that stream.



Well, it ain't necessarily so

Well, it ain't necessarily so 

They tell all you children

The devils a villain

 

 But it ain't necessarily so !

 



 To get into Heaven,

 Don't snap for a seven, 

 Live clean don't have no fault 

 Oh, I take that gospel,

 Whenever it's possible,

 But with a grain of salt


Image result for methuselah

Methus'lah lived nine hundred years,

Methus'lah lived nine hundred years, 




But who calls that livin'
 

When no gal will give in,

To no man that's nine hundred years

 

 I'm preachin' this sermon to show,

 It ain't necessarily ain't necessarily

 Ain't necessarily

 So
