Is the word of God limited to scripture?
Sounds like a trick question. Jesus is the WORD. He is God, no limitations there. As far as the written word, the Bible, that is not all of God's truth, for all the volumes on the planet could not contain God's knowledge. He just gave us enough to digest. The Bible is sufficient and we also have additional guidance from God , Who lives in us.

No. Paul wrote about the most prized spiritual gift is prophecy. I received prophecy and on Friday I received a word from God in answer to my prayers: humility.

In addition, John's Gospel talks about the miracles of Jesus, if all written, the world could not contain them all.

But let us remember and let us remember very deeply this one simple thing .
If any prophesy contradicts scripture , then it cometh of the dark one . Or comes of the dark one .
And i take that to my grave . Many get deceived by many who do prophesy . MANY deceivers deceive .
Thus in all that anyone does say or do , Compare it to the biblcal pattern , all things JESUS taught , all things the apostles taught as well .

Of course!

Really? you did not perceive of another trick question?

you CANNOT be saved without a priest!

Lk 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Christ is savior!

Hebrews 4:14
Seeing then that we have a great highpriest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

so no you cannot be saved without Christ who is a priest

Is the word of God limited to scripture?
No, but it can be limited to those who don't listen.
Faith cometh by what?

Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Rom 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

I don't think they had the bible.. So Faith comes by hearing .. testimonies, miracles, healings, ... and hearing by the WORD of God.
It's in the WORD..
Jesus IS the WORD.

Sometimes God speaks through people. Maybe not in words but in actions.
If God wants to talk to you... He can reach you outside of space and time.
God isn't limited to pages in a book.

The WORD is in You..
If you believe that Christ is in you, then the WORD is in you.

1Jo 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Scripture isn't Him. We abide in Him. Scripture is the map.
Hugs

The church rather than Christ?


Christ and His church are one, what Christ did the church continues to do, the church is an extension of Christ!
To attack the church is to attack Christ!

can you be saved without a priest?
By Bible says we are all priests and saints. Yes. It is important to learn from those who have walked with God, been educated, as I have for many years, to learn the basics. But God saves and converts the soul. He uses priests and pastors and the rest of us to witness and minister, but the Holy Spirit baptizes the individual. We are born again by receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This not the outward water baptism, it is the inward spiritual baptism into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

the body of Christ is spiritual?
that makes logical sense to you?
A body is physical

Only the one true church founded by Christ on Peter and the apostles and their successors and those members of Christ by faith and baptism United with them, the communion of the saints
Jn 16:10 matt 16:18 18:18 Jn 20:21-23
Jn 10:16

Ephesians 5:32
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church

Matt 5:14
Ye (the apostles/ the church) are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
(There is only one church founded by Christ on Peter and the apostles and their successors!) matt 16:18 Jn 10:16 eph 2:20

I love ya my friend but there just is nothing more i can do for you . Your mind bounces all over the place .
i been reading some of your posts and you are making what is simple SO complex and so confusing . Your mind is your enemy my friend .
Rather than continuing on with the RCC , begin afresh in the scripture and seek the LORD with all your heart mind and soul .
But there is little more i can do for you now my friend . I must now spend my time warning others to not enter into the RCC nor her
all inclusive religion that even her protestant daughters do now sing as well . I sorrow for you my friend and more than you know . The time must be spent pointing to the biblical Christ and also the doctrine of the apostels as well .
And all sound doctrine .

protestant sects founded by men are not the faithful daughters of the holy church

I wonder if that makes us the clay and "the holy church" the iron?
Which one you think is easier to mold?
Sometimes iron don't bend..

well in this context I agree with you 100%. But if you infer we need a human priest- the answer is still no! I do not have time nor energy to decipher trick questions.

I know! But here is here and we must as much as it lies within us to be peaceable with him. Many precious saints reside within Catholicism. they may be dwarves and severely deformed spiritually by the plethora of false doctrine, but I expect to see many Catholics in the kingdom . for the gospel is still there and I know many Catholics who trust in Christ and not RCC doctrine or works for salvation. Generally speaking, when a Catholic starts reading SCripture apart from the catechism or a priest "interpreting" SCripture for them, they tend ot leave the church just like Jw's do when they read the bible apart from watchtower doctrine.
