When you don't read the bible in context, you will fall into errors.
Example.
John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Most folks believe the thief Jesus is talking about in that verse is the devil, some even read it this way "THE DEVIL COMETH NOT"
Let's read the verse before verse 10, to find out the thief Jesus was referring.
1)Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a #thief and a robber.
2)But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3)To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4)And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5)And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6)This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they
understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7)Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8)All that ever came before me are #thieves and
robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9)I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10)The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Verse 8 tells us of the thieves Jesus was referring to.
Jesus was referring to false prophets,
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matt 7:15
Woe be unto the pastors that destory and scatter the sheep of my pasture! Saith the lord.
Jeremiah 23:1
Examples of thieves like this in scriptures;
Theudas
36) For before these days rose up theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
Acts 5:36
Judas
37) After this maÑ rose Ùp judas Óf galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, Éven as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
