that the Bible is Truth and contains all truth that might be known by man. You
should be interpreting the Bible through the lens of Jesus Christ, and Jesus
Christ is found everywhere. He is the light that lighteth every man who
comes into the world, even those who have never read the
Bible. Jesus Christ is found in history as well as in the Bible. jt: By what authority do you say Jesus Christ is
found everywhere? He is and has always been the Word of God (Rev 19:13). As
for him lighting everyone who comes into the world, is the apostle Paul out to
lunch in Ephesians 2?

jt: The scriptures are a primary source for a
'believer' and they are Jesus' standard. We are to be judged by the words he
spoke rather than the opinions of historians and so called church
fathers.
Read the Bible and see what it says. Who is the primary source of
truth, ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE? (Hint: John 16:13)
jt: The author and inspiration of scripture the Holy
Spirit.
Truth is not the Bible. Read the Bible to learn this. The Bible
speaks of truth dwelling inside of us. The Bible cannot dwell inside of
us. Jesus dwells inside of us and His words dwell inside of us (the living word
not the written word) through a work of the Holy Spirit.
jt: Jesus is in heaven at the right hand of the Father
making intercession for those who are his; the Spirit of Promise who he sent
indwells and seals those who are his and how does one come to him? By faith and
faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Where do we find
the Word of God? In the Bible. Selah!!
Hear the Bible speak about how truth dwells inside us and will be with us
forever: The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the
truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; For the
truth's sake, WHICH DWELLETH IN US, and shall be with us for ever. (2 John 1:1-2
KJV)
jt: Jesus will be with his Church [the real one]
forever but there are many who believer they are his to whom he will say "depart
from me..." Read the parable of the sower... the truth can be
stolen.
Look, the Bible is the highest authority of revelation among us. It
is so because of the testimony of HISTORY <there's that dreaded word again!
:-)>. But the Bible is not the primary source that Jesus spoke about
that would guide us into all truth. Do not replace the
Holy Spirit with the Bible. That is the error of many
denominations, and the Baptists
especially! Believe the Bible and obey it and you will see that what I say about the Bible is true. jt: The Bible is not the problem; doctrines of
men/demons are the problem; then there are those who are obsessed by the Spirit
but have no discernment so they follow whatever spirit shows up. Either
error is a mess and will lead to the ditch
judyt
God allows the devil to raise up heretics
to make his people study . |
