Those who forsake the Bible are led by Satan.
Jack, you won't answer the question. As the 'bible' is so important to you, why won't you answer the question, which bible are you refering to, as there are many. And they aren't all the same. They contain different content.

It was written under the influence of the Spirit..by men, who are fallible.

We can and do, also speak under the influence of the Spirit...he speaks through us as our spirit is Born Again...we have direct communication with God, via his witness the Living Spirit who indwells our spirit/ heart.

Why else must we be Born Again to see the Kingdom Of God?

Not just for that...we have also been set free from sin ,eternal damnation and Gods wrath the moment our spirit became Born Again.

We have been reconciled back to God when Spirit gives birth to spirit...he uses us all according to his purpose and plan and will...it can’t be stopped...

We Glorify the Living God..not the Bible...
Thanks for the clarification. Yes, We Glorify the Living God..not the Bible.

Confessing Christ
(Luke 12:8–12)

32Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven. 33But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.



From within our hearts, where the Spirit indwells...is where we confess that God is a Living Spirit.....that is where we truly know God, Jesus, Holy Spirit....the Bible confirms this.

No. Maybe someone else can.
It’s not there..it’s man made...to try and feed fear into people...it can’t work on those who truly know God/ Jesus in their spirit/ heart.

Remember the enemy can still speak through us....but, as we mature in Christ...we become tuned in to his scheming ways....he will have us arguing in the spilt of a second , if we aren’t alert...

What a great privilege to be chosen to be God's ambassadors. To represent Him from the time we were born again and adopted into the Divine Family of God. To be made worthy of being a representative of our new Family.

What a joy to be a part of such a wonderful family hey, with Jesus as our Elderst Brother, to share the same Father.

They haven't left us as orphans but have given us the rights as children of God, to bear the Divine Family name.

And to know and experience the fantastic gift of Their Spirit Who influence us day after day Who transforms into the Family likeness.

This is awesome, to be under the influence of the Spirit of God our Father.

Forsook - meaning: abandon, desert, forsake, to leave without intending to return.

Is this what you mean by your use of the the word 'forsook'?
Did you fall for the Universalism hoax before or after you forsook the Bible?

Your comments,

"Life with God OUTSIDE the Bible is great"!

"Personally I have left Hawaii (bible) and have gone further afield."

Within the bibles God's expressed thoughts are documented. Agreed. But obviously not all. I think everyone would agree with that.

Is God free to choose to reveal or express any of His thoughts to mankind? More than is found in the bibles?

I guess some people have foolishly thought and taught that the bibles contain all of God's truths, all of His thoughts, all of His words. That all that God revealed to humans and has been written down has been gathered and is found in the 88 books of the bible (the most extensive bible).

What a lie that is and needs to be exposed along with many other untruths.
What doesn't the Bible tell us about God that we need to know? Nothing! It tells us all we need to know to enter the Kingdom of God.
Thankfully the Spirit of Truth has been doing this over the past 2000 years or so.
The Spirit of Truth wouldn't lead you away from the Bible! That would be a different spirit.

I though it was about God , His Son Jesus the Christ and Their Spirit Who They sent to live in us.

We are to glorify Them in and outside of this forum.

That They work in us to will and do of Their good pleasure. Three of Them in unity, as one.
I get the impression that you deny that Jesus is God the Creator and Hell Fire is everlasting.

And which bible is that? The original KJV with its 80 books? It's shortened version of 66 books. Or the 73 book Catholic bible. Or the Ethiopian bible with its 88 books?

Which of these bibles are you defending? Which one in particular Jack? Maybe all of them?
I constantly compare English translations. Haven't found one yet that doesn't confirm Jesus/God and the EVERLASTING fire! They are amazingly consistent.

Who said the written word of God is powerful?
You're saying it isn't?
Paul wrote theses words, For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

You aren't adding the word, 'written' to his word are you?

Just wanted you to clarify this.
Another clear attack on the Bible.

1 Thessalonians 2:13
13 For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God,

Your comments,

"Life with God OUTSIDE the Bible is great"!

"Personally I have left Hawaii (bible) and have gone further afield."
The great thing is that I have absolulute freedom to go to the bibles and to go way beyond each and every one of them. Those guided by the Spirit God sent to us are His children. I love God's words, whenever and wherever they are.

The Spirit of Truth has the absolute freedom to guide me into all truth.

You can stay within the pages of the 88 books of the bible. I'm not your God. I am not the Spirit of God responsible to lead you or anyone else for that matter.

Stick with the Bible. It will save you from Hell Fire! Stop listening to those voices in your head.

I'm not in a place to say what God wants you or me to know. I just receive what He gives to me through His Spirit. No llimited categories like the one you mentioned, all we need to know to enter the Kingdom of God.

I don't know why you want to limit yourself from receiving God's revelation. But hey, that's cool. Enjoy your bible. Whichever biblical canon box you choose to be confined to.
The Spirit of Truth wouldn't lead you away from the Bible! That would be a different spirit.
Did the Spirit personally tell you this or are you going to borrow second hand information from another person. You use our brother Paul's word but don't seem to have your own word from your God. Why is that? Do you hear from your Father, your Shepherd, Their Spirit? Do you have a living person intimate relationship with Them or only the bible.

And so I ask again, What doesn't the Bible tell us about God that we need to know? What did you find out about God that the Bible doesn't tell us? You didn't get Universalism from God. That comes from another spirit.

Again, I lived in my biblical canon box for decades but when the Spirit revealed truth beyond this box, I now know from experience that there is so much more of my God to know and experience outside these man-made parameters. 88 books are an extremly limited source of Truth about our Creators.
