You may be wondering what this topic is about? (as you should, I suppose)
Let's start by answering the topic question.

Topic question:

Which is more pure? - The Bible, or Ivory Soap?


Answer: Ivory Soap is rated as 99.44% pure.
The Bible is rated as 99.5% pure. (see source below)
Therefore, the Bible is MORE pure than Ivory soap.
But, does it float? - LOL

How Accurate is the Bible? | Bible.org

The New Testament can be regarded as 99.5 percent pure, and the correct readings for the remaining 0.5 percent can often be ascertained with a fair degree of probability by the practice of textual criticism. C. The Time Span of Manuscripts ... The Bible places great stress on accurate historical details, and... (continued at source)

Soap, dwindles away....
That is such a great point. Thanks.

Bibles don't need to come in three-packs. It's not a consumable product.

Reminds me of this scripture.

John 4:13-14 NIV
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,
14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them
will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

"The Bible" does not exist. Everything we have in English has been translated by someone with established opinions on what a passage means - even to the point where words are not translated to their original meaning. Lines have been added or removed based on opinions, and the results have received comment from theologians who have views as well. Studying the Bible cannot be done accurately without God.

The reason we bicker with each other and have so many denominations, I believe, is because we don't trust that God will give us "the truth." While we might claim that He did, is that true or did some man convince us of our "truth" which happens by groupthink?

1 John 2:27 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.

Hebrews 8:11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.

2 Corinthians 3:3
And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Romans 2:15
They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them.

"groupthink"
That's a great point. Thanks for joining us.

Does groupthink = the Word of God?

Well you should have used a pic of a bar of Fullers' soap then you would have remained scriptural in all.
Malachi 3:2 (KJV) But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Good point. I love that scripture.

But I suppose we wouldn't want to conclude that Fuller's Soap is more pure than the Bible. ???

The Bible does not exist? And then you cite 4 Bible verses.

For me, it’s the purity that comes from the Living Holy Spirit...

Soap, dwindles away....the Living word of God, which is Alive and Active, can never die or be dwindled away.

God is the purest of them all!...
Just my thoughts.
His blood cleansed us even to the very core of our own conscious .
GOD is PURE as is everything about HIM pure and in CHRIST we have been purified and made clean .
BUT always remember , as i am sure you do , GOD will not contradict His words of TRUTH .
EVEN his words of truth are PURE and lovely .
Men often use truths to then try and omit something about GOD , namely HIS WORDS left to us
IN said bible . In order to create another version another image of what they BELIEVE and desired to BE GOD .
when in truth that god they so love feeds their flesh , NOT their soul .
Men are very decpetive sister , men who are lost . Yet the blind do not know they are blind
and many of the blind reject THE TRUE CHRIST JESUS , HIS words of TRUTH they twist .
and yet they SAY WE SEE , WE SEE , and so their sin remains .
I have come that the BLIND MAY SEE
and those who see may be BLIND . YE say WE SEE , WE SEE , and therefore YOUR SIN remains .
THEY BELIEVED THEY DID SEE , THEY BELIEVED THEY DID KNOW GOD
and yet they WOULD NOT HEAR HIS CHRIST . THUS their SIN REMAINS and they are as the BLIND who lead the blind .

what you have just witnessed that man doing
is what peter would have called , THEY TWIST the scrips unto their own destruction . Trying to use scrips
to disprove the scrips . Very dangerous and highly deceptive are these latter hours upon earth my friend .
Rather than heeding men to read the scrips for themselves , many now try and get men OUT OF the scrips
and to simply trust in man . That will not BODE well for any and for all who do such a thing

Just my thoughts.
Tis GOD who purifies . and without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins .
For a time the law came and because of trangressions had been added , TILL THE TRUE and HOLY PROMISE
of GOD would come . a sacrfice far greater than that of any animal . that could reach even to the inner soul of man
and cleanse even his consicious . JESUS THE CHRIST , IS OUR HOPE SISTER .

The book of Daniel proves the bible is 100% truth and accurate. SO many phropetic things were predicted and have already been fulfilled, thus proving it's veracity. It prophesied the exact day of Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem, all the math is there.

You do have to remember that prophetical calandars use 30 day months though.

Capt Stephen needs better titles for his threads. The title interjects a negative connotation to the word of God and then he surrepticiously revealed he has taken the postive viewoint to the word of God, making it in the shadows instead of in the light. So one could say that his spiritual format was off.
