Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

[One 2 question]

The loud voice is obvious. The quiet voice is tougher to discern.

[

When the Spirit communicates with me it's neither loud or quiet generally. As He reveals Themselves it is usually in the form of parables, picture stories. The way they impact me or the ones they are for, varies greatly. Some I have been able to record but most are stored in my memory.

In saying that, most of Jesus's parables would never have been documented. More than likely shared but not recorded.

I love parables and the way the Spirit uses them to convey truths from the heart and mind of God to humans.

God is not a Bible...if I never read a Bible again, the Living Spirit Of God is always with me, he resides in my spirit/ heart...he does not reside in the Bible, that is his inspired word, written by men under the influence of the Spirit.

If you never read a Bible again you'd better have GOOD reason!

I can live without a Bible,

The truth surfaces!

I could not live without the Spirit, if he left my spirit, which he never will....I would then perish and die...couldn’t live without the Living God.

Without the Bible you'll be like the Bible attackers here, following an evil spirit to Hell.

Deuteronomy 31:6​

King James Version​

6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee

Doesn't mean we can't forsake God of the Bible and burn in Hell!

written by men under the influence of the Spirit.

As Paul was when he said not to be drunk with wine, under the influence of it, but instead be filled and influenced by the Spirit.

This is why no writings of others revelation can replace the direct personal relationship with the actual Person Who influences us.

I have definitely not only survived without the bible but had my relationship and knowledge of the Godhead increase in its absence.

But that's the will of God for me. Not sure about the next person.

The spirit? Which spirit? You don't have a clue. When you forsook God of the Bible you opened the door to Satan and demons! You should have stayed with God!

1 Timothy 4:1-2
1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,

Paul? You mean Paul who wrote more Books of the Bible that you FORSOOK, than anyone? Why are you citing the Bible that you FORSOOK?

Amen!......Praise God that his Living Spirit birthed us into the Living Spirit Of Christ...

Spirit gives birth to spirit...

Always having the Living witness/ testimony , who witnesses Gods truth to our hearts/ spirit.....then you get some Bible worshippers...who sadly don’t know God in their heart/ spirit.....I’ve been called to pray for them..

1 Corinthians 2:14

King James Version

​

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

 

[Ritajanice]

I love parables and the way the Spirit uses them to convey truths from the heart and mind of God to humans.

The Spirit uses me as his vessel and speaks through me....my calling is to preach, that God is very much a Living ,Mighty, Holy Spirit...mind Blowing.

He gets every ounce of Glory regarding the Spirit rebirth....a Living birth....that only the Spirit can testify to our hearts/spirit.

The Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are the children of God......Praise his mighty Living Holy Name....what is the first commandment....Love the Lord God, with all your heart, mind and soul......remember the enemy will do everything in his power...to shut us up....

 

[Jack]

Maybe we can pull some of these Bible attackers from Hell Fire!

Jude 1:22-23
22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction;
23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire,

I appreciate your love, your gentleness, patience and kindness towards those who remain spiritually blind and deaf. Yes, we pray for them that the Divine Spirit Guide Who opened our eyes and ears will preform that miracle within them. To raise their spirit to life so it can have sweet fellowship, a strong connection and an intimate personal relationship with Him.

Ah, then they too can exercise spiritual discernment and put away carnal wisdom (foolishness).

Like the analogy of the person who went beyond the islands of Hawaii.

They didn't get removed from it. They left their country to explore the rest of their world. They could return at any time for as long as they desired. They had fond childhood memories of Hawaii but now they were building new memories, not to replace the others but to add to them.

I appreciate my being raised in the bible and the benefits I gained in my earlier years but they served me well to be able to confidently go beyond its covers.

There is so much of God outside of the 66, 73, 81 books of the bibles. I would encourage people to be born again of the Spirit of Christ, get confident in hearing Him then with that confidence follow Him beyond the land of the bibles and explore the beauty of God without boarders, without limit, Who is eternally expanding in us His creations.

What a joy this is hey! Christ in us, the hope of the glory of God growing, increasing and expanding in us forever!!

You already explained how you got duped by voices in your head.

Which Christ? Surely not Jesus of the Bible that you forsook!

Indeed, not only does the Spirit draw us to Jesus, he opened my heart to receive His Spirit, it became Born Again of imperishable seed that liveth and abideth forever...read how he opened Lydia’s heart.....once our spirit is Born Again, it can never be un- birthed, just as His inspired word says, he will never leave or forsake us.

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one.

You cannot lose your salvation once you are born again.

Sadly, the enemy has duped many into believing that the Spirit can leave our spirit, ..which is impossible once we have been Born Of The Spirit......

Because we received our supernatural faith from God, our faith just keeps on growing, we just hand our will over to the Living God and learn to rely on him 100%....

It’s a very narrow path that we walk....isn’t it wonderful how we learn and grow in the Living Spirit Of Christ.....in fact it’s “ mind blowing “....my testimony and from the testimony of the Holy Spirit....

Be known all out there, that God is a mighty Holy Living Spirit....he is not a Bible, the Bible is his inspired word....don’t get me wrong, I need my Bible...I love referring to it, when I check what I believe God has spoken to me....

The Spirit that indwells your spirit can and will never leave us....as we grow in spirit, we get closer and closer to the “ Living “ God.Seek the Lord God out with all of your heart,mind and soul, for that is where you will find him.....the inspired word backs up Gods Living Witness words that we hear deep within in our inner man, that is where our spirit eyes and ears develop....the more we surrender our will over to the Lord, the more we hear his voice, leading us through our daily lives and always bringing all Glory to our Living Father God........in Jesus Name...Amen!

No one can keep Gods Living witness/ testimony ,who indwells our spirit/ heart , “ quiet” ..he will be heard, all in his timing, all in his strength...we are just the vessels in which he uses to get his message across.....God is Alive.

 

[Ritajanice]

Indeed, but, for that to happen....we must let go of all “ self” we must be empty of “ self”

Pride/ ego ,is the road block...it will block us from hearing the Spirit....

Speaking from my own experience....that has got to be one of the hardest lesson that God has taught me.


He will let us carry on in the self...that is until we recognise it...which has taken him 33 years ,to get me to truly understand the self and our own will......speaking about my walk with the Lord here....

I believe he teaches and speaks to us all very differently....some, he may speak directly to their spirit, through reading the word....for me, he has always spoken directly to my heart/ spirit.....then I check out what I hear with the word, I need that to make sure , that what I heard came from God....especially when I post.

I’m not saying that everything I post comes from God...especially when we start getting personal with each other, then accusations start flying , that one is demon led ,that one isn’t saved,etc, that is not from God and when we are mature...we recognise man’s / woman’s words more and more....just my thoughts testimony and belief...no more valid than anyone else’s.

Why do you cite Scripture to someone who forsook the Bible? Are you trying to pull him out of the Fire maybe?

Why are you bearing false witness?
Are you hoping to enter the fire?

[Jack]

Why are you bearing false witness?

Why are you?

Are you hoping to enter the fire?

No, I'm pulling Bible attackers from the EVERLASTING fire that Jesus warned several times. You believe in Hell fire now?

I don't give much time to thinking about our enemy these days. I guess I know He is subject to my sovereign Father who has control over him.

I see that everything is going exactly to God's plan which is quite an unpopular belief these days, even amongst God's children.

The popularising of the belief that God is making Himself available to us to ensure that our will is done. Therefore we can live our best life now. That it is God's will and plan to bless and prosper us.

But those of us who have the mind of Christ know that Jesus has His Spirit working in us to desire to know God's will and to carry it out. All for His good pleasure.

Yes, glad you are used by Him. It is a challenge to step aside, putting our ego out of the picture and placing God on centre stage as the hero of our story.

New topic:

Speak to the value of following Jesus

Typically evangelizing the "lost" focuses on why Christianity is true. A convincing argument is hoped to win the day and produce a new convert. Assuming all the concerns of the prospect can be dissuaded. However, I was thinking this morning about the day-to-day benefits. The positive...

Bible attackers leading each other to Hell! Sad that more Christians aren't here defending the Bible from their attacks! Just shows how true the Bible is!

Mt 7 Narrow is the way to Life and FEW there be who find it!
