“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17, KJV)

We are thoroughly furnished with the holy scriptures.

I still don't know why all these assumptions about what my practices are, how I live my life, the fruit I bear in my everyday life with Christ, our Father and Their accompanying Spirit Who Jesus promised Father would send to make us His home.

This Jesus Who died because He loved the world, which includes me, continues to express His love as He redeems people from every nation, every tribe on earth.

Who these individuals are I don't know. But I continue to love my neighbour and pray for them ask the Spirit to open their eyes which Satsn has blinded. That the beautiful news of Christ's love will become irresistible, drawing all men unto Himself.

And what message it is that one must BELIEVE in order to BE REDEEMED .
cause many follow a false love and it darn sure aint any kind of co helper to the true agape love message
that if one did BELIEVE they would be REDEEMED .
Inclusivism is of anti christ , all inclusive interfaith is of anti christ .
TIME the church actually Reads the scriptures and the letters for themselves .
IF many did so they would realize , OOPSY we been following the wrong version of love all along . Nose dive into the bible
friend and you see if what i write is but mere words , OR am i really and have i really been speaking truth all along .
BUT continue in the false lovey version and you never gonna see my friend . IT really is bible time in the building .

There is nothing better than Loving God with all your heart mind and soul..and there is nothing better than getting to know the Living God in one’s heart/ spirit, that is why his inspired word says, Seek the Lord God out with all your heart, for there is where you will find him..remember we are “ Born Again “ Spirit gives birth to spirit...Praise God always for divine heart revelation...In Jesus Name !..Amen!

How so?

Really I am not even sure what my point was. I may have been focusing on a different aspect of your previous comment, at the time, that is now somewhat escaping me. I do agree with your general reasoning behind why Yeshua became Jesus though.

These Bible attackers will do anything to discredit God's Word! Won't Judgment Day be interesting!

Revelation 22:19
19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Anyone who rejects the Christian Bible is following Satan to Hell.

If anyone rejects that God is a Living Pure, Holy ,Spirit, then they clearly don’t know him in their spirit/ heart, by His witness, who testifies Gods truth to our heart/ spirit.

Without Spirit giving birth to my spirit...I would never know who God is.....all I would know is what I would read about him in the Bible....to truly know God...is by heart revelation, when our spirit becomes Born Again.

Also there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ...we are in the righteousness of Christ/ clothed in “ HIS” righteousness...let’s not forget that......there is NOTHING that can separate us from the Love Of our Father God. @St. SteVen @One 2 question .we have been Born Again of imperishable seed that liveth and abideth forever.......that Living seed of the Spirit has taken root in our hearts/ spirit, why, because it was planted by God....where that Living seed will continue to grow in our hearts/ spirit, conforming us into Jesus image ,also bearing the Fruit Of The Spirit.

That journey so far has been far from easy....yet, we stay focused on the leadership of the Spirit, isn’t it wonderful when we submit our will over to God...to be in harmony with the Spirit Of God....is a peace that just can’t be explained, a leading also that can’t be explained....All Glory goes to God!....and the Spirit who never stops working in our hearts.

• Matthew 3:11: The holy Ghost sanctifies us. ...
• John 3:5: We must receive the Holy Ghost to enter God's kingdom. ...
• John 14:26: The Holy Ghost can comfort us and teach us all things. ...
• John 15:26: The Holy Ghost testifies of Jesus Christ.

Just a quick easy to answer question. Who made you judge and jury over God's kingdom? I don't recall ever hearing that He was stepping aside and giving someone else His throne.

For those who reject, even deny Him He holds out His hand of love to exercise His mercy and grace.

It only takes one to repent and believe.

Are you saying that literally you can become PERFECT with the scriptures?

You already admitted that you forsook the Christian Bible! You have judged yourself!

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,

Whoever wrote this statement and what they were refering to when they used the word scripture I cant say for certain.

Are parts of scripture in the bible? Are they all contained in the bible?

I believe all scripture is beneficial. Are they essential? No. Helpful for sure. Can one live without them? Absolutely.

Who makes one perfect? Who enables one to be throughly furnished unto all good works?

The Spirit of Christ Who Father sent into us enables us to will and do of His good pleasure.

Praise God the Father for sending Him to possess  us.

Sadly many have left their faith in the risen and glorified Christ, according to the Spirit, Paul affirms.

I am perfectly fine with judging myself. Then I praise God my Father for having mercy and extending His grace to me. I focus on what God has and is doing not what I have done.

Let's look to Jesus and listen out for His voice be it in or beyond the bible.

I think you'll have a difficult time on Judgment Day explaining why you forsook the Bible!

And consider what these verses are saying:

Who said the Bible replaces God???

“Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.” (1 Timothy 4:13-16, KJV)

Paul advises here to continue in the DOCTRINE.

These DOCTRINES are in the written word of God.

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). And “if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another” (1 John 4:11). In other words, true love is always sacrificial, self-giving, merciful, compassionate, sympathetic, kind, generous, and patient.

1 Samuel 16:7. But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.

He guides us through His voice to the spirit man from within our hearts. The Holy Spirit knows our spirit man, and He can speak directly to our born again spirit man.

The spiritual man is a child of God. Being born again, the Holy Spirit lives inside of him. He is able to discern God's truths because the Holy Spirit reveals these truths to him. When Jesus spoke, He did so with authority and wisdom, and in a manner that was understandable to all.

2 Peter 3 tells us to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” This is not referring to physical growth like you might see from a plant. Rather, this passage is referring to spiritual growth and growing closer to God.

Romans 8:29reads that God has predestined His people to be conformed to the image of His Son: that is, to become like Jesus.
