Stop Standing on the Mistakes of Others in the Bible

Why do people insist on standing on the mistakes of others in the Bible, as if error suddenly becomes truth because it’s written in Scripture?

Let’s get this clear, the Bible is not a permission slip to repeat the wrongs of those who came before us. 

It is a mirror for reflection, not imitation, A book of revelation, not justification.

Too many people try to use the failures of biblical figures as excuses for their own choices. 

They say, “Well, David did it,” or “Solomon did it,” or “Abraham lied too.” 

But do they ever stop to remember the consequences? 

Every one of those individuals paid a heavy price for their disobedience, pride, or lack of discernment. 

Their mistakes were recorded not for us to repeat, but for us to learn from.

We don’t read the Bible to normalize sin or excuse destructive behavior, we read it to gain knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. 

It’s meant to awaken our spiritual sight, to help us grow, and to lead us into alignment with divine truth.

So, when you find yourself standing on the wrongs of others in the Bible and calling it “right,” pause and remember, those people suffered for the very things you’re trying to justify. 

God didn’t record their mistakes to make them examples to follow, He recorded them to remind us that every action has a consequence, and every choice carries a cost.

Read the Bible not to copy history, but to transform your heart.

Not to find excuses, but to find truth.

Not to repeat old cycles, but to break them.

The true power of the Word is not in defending human behavior, it’s in awakening divine consciousness.
