He forsook the Bible
If you had told me that he had forsaken the Living Spirit Of God..then I’d be worried.

He hasn’t, he has a Living relationship with God...he probably knows the Bible off by heart...he’s on a much deeper level with his Spirit Father.

He seeks the heart of God as far as I can see,.Praise God...that he knows God from within his spirit as it’s Born Again....for some reason you are unable to connect the dots.from within your spirit...never mind it takes time to mature in Christ...speaking from my own experience.

Again Jack, is there any truth outside of the bible?
Brother, if you had asked me this question as a very new babe, I wouldn’t of had a clue what you were talking about...all I knew was, that I was Born Again.

Remember it takes years to understand in spirit...we learn a new language when we become Born Again, we communicate with God in spirit...completely opposite to how we communicate with the world.

Some of us take years and years to understand what the Spirit witnesses to our hearts( it certainly has for me) ..we can only learn in Gods timing and in Gods strength....

33 years ago my spirit was Born Again....God never stops developing our spiritual eyes and ears......remember we are being conformed into Jesus image.....we are His Living representatives.....he goes before us, we let him speak and lead the way...

That's exactly what forsaking the Bible is!
He hasn’t, he has a Living relationship with God...he probably knows the Bible off by heart...he’s on a much deeper level with his Spirit Father.
And he clearly rejected it. He started looking for answers elsewhere.
He seeks the heart of God as far as I can see,.Praise God...that he knows God from within his spirit as it’s Born Again....for some reason you are unable to connect the dots.from within your spirit...never mind it takes time to mature in Christ...speaking from my own experience.
Forsaking the Bible is not seeking the heart of God! It's giving heed to demons, the road to Hell.

Around the same time as you.

It took a fair time to recognise Jesus's way of communicating with me.
Amen!...Brother..isn’t it wonderful how he communicates with our spirit?...I find that such an Honour and Privilege.....seeking him out with our heart...also took me quite a while to understand that as well.

His truth must prevail out of our mouths...Praise God I believe it does, as long as we come to him with sincerity of heart and in full submission to his will....there is NOTHING on the planet it like it.

Always Praising and Glorifying our Living Spirit Father God!

Satan is busy!

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,

However when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth; for He shall not speak from Himself, but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak; and He will show you things to come.
If the Bible is truth, then why did you forsake it? The Bible is clearly God's written Word! You were obviously looking for something different than the Word of God, opening the door to Satan.

The Bible has ALL the Truth about God that Christians need. I haven't been looking elsewhere.

What doesn't the Bible tell us that we need to know????????

That we must be Born Again to see the Kingdom Of God...that happens outside of the inspired word...the inspired word confirms how our spirit becomes Born Again, by Living divine,heart, revelation, Spirit gives birth to spirit.

The Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are the children of God,@One 2 question someone who is still in the flesh wouldn’t understand this, because the word of God is spiritually discerned.

Some maybe following the God that they read Of in the Bible...yet, don’t know him in their hearts/ spirit, because they haven’t been Born Again yet, God may be drawing them to Jesus..

Who told you this?

If this is truth, and truth is found in the bible, where is this statement of truth found? And who of the bibles contributors wrote it?
Who told you to forsake the Christian Bible? Voices in your head?

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,

Just because you haven't been looking outside or beyond the pages of the bible, and therefore haven't found the truth that's out there, are you saying don't bother looking? Or worse, stopping others from investigating or exploring for further truth? Or worse again, show comtempt, misrepresent, falsely judge those of us who have found truth beyond the bible where you have not gone and investigated for yourself?

Didn’t Jesus encountered people like this... Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.

Yes, agreed. Ever seeing but never perceiving do you mean?

Your agenda is clear. You're trying to lead Christians away from the Bible. That's exactly what you are trying to do.
