The printed Bible is God's inerrant divine revelation to mankind. How is it that anyone could belittle that is beyond my understanding. Failing to understand that the word of God is exactly what it says it is. How is it that fallible sinful people think in their vanity that they are needed by God, or are needed to speak for God to accomplish His plan & purposes? it is embarrassing. Since before the foundation of the world, God has set forth plan to rescue humanity from themselves, their sins, & Satan's trap and that is through our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ on Calvary. Jesus is resurrected from the dead & is coming for His bride and then will return as the conquering King. If a person want the details, prayerfully study your Bible and find a good Bible believing church that preaches the full counsel of God & teaches Bible prophecy.

Hi tzcho2,

I think it's a question of being subject to the Scriptures or not. Those who submit themself to God's Word, even the printed book, will seek to see what God says in His Book. God remains the authority over our lives. And we have a written record of what He says.

Those who do not wish to be subject to the Scriptures feel free to adapt God's Word to their own use. The Scripture will not be authorative, being moldable by the speaker.

Much love!

  1. No. The apostles were chosen to take the things Jesus said to the ends of the earth, every nation and every tribe.
  2. They started, but it was others who finished it, and still do.
  3. No. That veil is torn down by the blood of Christ, in whom we have access to all truth. Yea, we who are in Him have the mind of Christ.
  4. No. You who place limits on the Spirit and hinder those who would receive to the full, do so to yourselves and bring aid to the wicked.
  5. No. It is those who live by the letter who live by the flesh and are blind to the scriptures in spirit. But those who live by the Spirit have the words written in their hearts, which is the scriptures fulfilled.
  6. The whole truth, is: "My words are spirit."
Sorry you have failed to grasp what the believing church has historically believed.
You are at risk.
We will warn others of your horrendous errors in not trusting the scripture as it is in truth the word of God

That is what they want to do. Then, they will say you are not spiritually mature if you don't agree with them , or the other claim is that you must be limiting God, or trying to put the Holy Spirit in a box. It is quite vain imo, to place themselves at the same level as the word of God. Making themselves as an extension of the Bible, and basically an extension of God. It's like the Papacy that claims it has divine authority- deceived imo.

Unfortunately those who make up the meaning of scripture try to lead people away from scripture by insinuating that

Do your own research where you live.

Baptist, Lutheran, catholic, SDA, JW or maybe Mormon? Where does one go where the body is built up and edified? All seem to have something against the other and are superior in knowledge to the others. Who helps those at the bottom who don’t fit in anywhere?

Oh, the irony...and the error and deception. That is not the gospel message at all.

Jesus has not left us orphans as you describe, but has promised to come to us, to be in us and us in Him, to send another Helper to guide us in to all truth (not 12 men who would write some and not all and then die leaving the remaining generations without all, when it was all that was promised and more).
Sorry Scott but once again your lack of biblical understanding causes you to offer yet another tragic post.
Jesus concluded His public ministry in jn13

Then He spoke to the Apostles who were to be foundational eph2:20.

Notice

.Scott was not there. Now he attempts to apply the promise made to the Apostles alone, and suggest he gets the same revelation :oops::rolleyes::(:oops:
No Scott
No one believes you, we will believe what God has given in scripture.

Acts 5:38-39
[38] And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: [39] But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

Ya? You think possibly Mormon ?? You are deceived then. Then this is not an earnest question by you.
If someone wants to find a what exactly I said, then one must do their own research where you LIVE like I said. Find a biblical assembly. It is not in a "name" that you find it , but by doing honest research in depth about their beliefs & meeting with Pastors.

You assumed Mormon. What about the scripture that says without charity ...all is nothing? You don’t know me. I’m sitting here drowning the past couple of days struggling with my faith. Would you care or ask? No. You don’t even listen. Honestly I don’t know who I’d side with here. It is depressing with both sides claiming some superiority. I read His word the same as you. Don’t demean by assuming I haven’t seeked or asked.

Good verseVIJ.
Whatever Scott and others believe is between him and God. We each give account of ourselves to God.
I and others see his error and seek to warn him, and offer correction.
He is a big boy, and will go the way he thinks he should.
We are our brothers keeper.
Some have not heard historic teaching and are swept up with the contemporary nonsense being offered.
We can offer what we can.

VIJ ,

We are to get primary help from a biblical local church. On a forum such as this some try to offer help but get opposed by others who hate the truth, so it comes out like a battlefield.
Wwwsermonaudio.com has 1.7 million free sermons to help.
I go to churches that use the 1689 confession of faith.
It is not perfect ,but offers a great head start to frame out the biblical issues.

If I could be of any help to you feel free to ask. I would rather help a person with sincere questions then battle those who have a self centered agenda

The only thing I assumed was that you were Christian since this is the forum.
You don't seem to know how to sift between what the Bible teaches & what is spiritually false, because you have added false religions into the group , so are you just a seeker , searching for God? If you are struggling to belief, then I would say you need to look for what I said, a group of born again believers in Christ Jesus Church who will give you the gospel message, a faithful people who are God-fearing, love Jesus Christ , fully submitted to the word of God as being inerrant authoritative word, a Bible- believing , Bible & teaching church in your area. There are lots of wolves on the internet & on youtube, so beware.

Scott,
Roman's 8:1 tells me there is no condemnation to those who are In Christ.
He has drawn me savingly to Himself. I was not looking for Him, but He found me and saved me.
So , no need for your worry or concern.
What you might want to do is go over the 1689 confession of faith and see what the historic churches understood.
Start right at the beginning with the topic of the Holy Scriptures.
If you have objections offer the scriptural reason why you think these men were wrong.
Maybe you will come to see things differently.
