"Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?"

[Behold]

And most of these words are not contained in the 80 or 66 books of the bibles of course.

Sometimes when Jesus was teaching the JEWS, He would tell them that the OT, talked about Him...
And in the NT, we have Paul's doctrine.. most of all, that came from Jesus.

So, we have the word of God.........its all we need, and it has so much in it, that is revealed by the Spirit of God.

Its quite amazing that God will show someone who loves the word of God, more and more revelation, from the same verses, while keeping a person who does not love the word of God, from understanding it.
Thats a fact.
So for the person who loves God's word.. this will happen again and again if the student falls in love with the Bible.......and greatly esteems it as the final authority.
God will show them so much, and this just continues.

Now, this becomes a Train Wreck, if the bible Student falls under the SPELL of someone like John Calvin, or the men who created JW, or Mormon, or the "Cult of Mary".

 

[One 2 question]

You're lying.
And that is why you can't quote a version that says "to be tempted".

I can quote 20 versions for you, and none of them say.... "TO BE Tempted"/.......Including the KJV...

What they say, is.............in one verse.......... "Jesus was Led".....and then in another verse, they say......."and was tempted of the Devil".


Just look at the KJV, and notice that it explains that Jesus was tempted, but it does not say that He was led there, into the wilderness, "TO BE" tempted, = as you keep misquoting, to suit your false theology @One 2 question

1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

I havent added or taken anything away.

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. NKJV

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. KJV

Anyway, verses were added to the bibles by humans in the 16th century I believe.

Who said it's all we need? I've never been told that by the Spirit. And none of those who contributed to the bibles wrote that. Not that I'm aware of. Maybe you can enlighten us with their quote or when the Spirit gave you this direct revelation.

The word of God is where Salvation is found.. Its were the Truth is found.......Its where church doctrine is found.

Of course.
He uses Teachers.

But when it comes to our final authority....then the Bible is the final answer.

I'm all for loving God's word, every word that comes from His mouth whether they be found coming through a human speaking, prophesying, speaking in a tongue and interpreting so I can understand, a vision, dream, their writings, a burning bush, donkey, the sky or any other means.

God's expressed thoughts are fantastic.

Romans 8:8-9​

​

New International Version​

​

​

8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ

​

◄ Romans 8 ►

​

Berean Standard Bible Par ▾ Walking by the Spirit (Ezekiel 36:16–38; Galatians 5:16–26) 1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.a2For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set youb free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin.c He thus condemned sin in the flesh, 4so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,7because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8Those controlled by the fleshd cannot please God. 9You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alivee because of righteousness. 11And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the deadf will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

Neither of those quote of yours, are in those verssions.

So, your "link" is very strange.

Here is what both of those versions actaully say......and "TO BE TEMPTED" is not found.


The NIV actually says this.. It does not say "TO BE Tempted/

Jesus was led by the Living Spirit throughout his ministry....we too are led by the Living Spirit...you have difficulties understanding that truth..in “ GODS” word @Behold .....

Yes, amen. My question is about the last statement. Unity in the Essentials. Did you read this in the bible or receive this directly from the Holy Spirit. I've heard this quoted before but out of interest, where is its origin in the bible?

Because we all belong to Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is our head, all understanding must ultimately be in line with and unified with the deeds of Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 4:15
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Colossians 2:19
And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
Revelation.1:5
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,


The Bible records the teachings of Jesus Christ and his way of life.Just like the meaning of the name Israel,

Genesis 32:28
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

This was the case with the conversation between Jesus and the scribes and Pharisees.

My salvation is found in the Person, the Word of God. His name is Jesus Christ.

Its were the Truth is found...

The Truth is found in a Person, Jesus the Christ Who is given to us by His Spirit.

....Its where church doctrine is found.

the teachings for the church are found in its Head, Gis name is Jesus Christ.

Its where Jesus is found.

Jesus is found in heaven with His Father intercededing for us.

So, does God use anything else, to teach?

Again, a Person, the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

Of course.
He uses Teachers.

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.

Yes, Jesus is Salvation.

The Truth is found in a Person, Jesus the Christ Who is given to us by His Spirit.

Yes, Jesus is THE Truth..........John 14:6

the teachings for the church are found in its Head, Gis name is Jesus Christ.

The Doctrine for the Church, was never given by Jesus when He was alive, as He was only dealing with JEWS.

The CHURCH, the Body of Christ, was birthed by Jesus on the Cross....... as this began the "Time of the Gentils" and most of the Christians in this world are GENTILES........not Jews.

So, it was after Jesus was back in Heaven, that He called PAUL......to be "the apostle to the gentiles" and gave Paul the "doctrine for the Church".

Jesus is found in heaven with His Father intercededing for us.

Yes, Jesus is our Heavenly Advocate.

Again, a Person, the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

The Holy Spirit.........= "Christ IS THAT Spirit".

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you:

If you own a NT........then read that God gives "TEACHERS"". For the "perfecting of the Saints".

BTW, who told you this? The Spirit? This statement can't be found in the bibles.

The Spirit of God wrote the Holy Bible.
Men just wrote it down.

Finally, the Person, the Word of God in heaven is my final authority. What He says to me directly goes.
