Lets make it really simple, show me the proof, that the bible is Gods word, Jesus and the disciples reffered to the Ot, the Taurah as scripture not the new testament, and also can any show me where God was going to give us a book, that would cause so much divisoin amongst His people. According to Jesus, the only thing He ever gave us was the Holt Spirirt to teach us the truth, and even the disciples say, "the letter killeth, but the spirirt brings life", so are they wrong. Even Jesus said ( according to the bible), " The words that I speak are Spirirt and they are life", was He wrong to?? You seee like many, I dont see the completee bible as the inspired word of God, but yet I see a lot of truth in it, I guess you have to decide, who is the final authority " God ", or the Bible.
In His LOve
I can hardly believe how you disregard the written word of God. You say "show me proof that the bible is God's word"--- If you obey the Word of God, and if you have the Holy Spirit in you.....if you have the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better (Eph 1:17)....then you could not say some of the things you say....and you would know that the Bible, the New Testament is the word of God. You would know.
When you quote scripture saying "the letter killeth, but the spirit brings life"---that is about the Old Testament laws! And you wouldn't even know Jesus said that if you didn't read it in the Bible!
You say "show me where God was going to give us a book..." How do you know about Jesus and his teachings if you don't read what he says---in the Bible!?!
Now read this...
Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him--to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen. Romans 16:25-27.
And this...
Peter 1:20-21 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. 21For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
New Testament teachings and books were accepted as scripture immediately. In 1 Timothy 5:18 Paul joins a New Testament scripture (Luke 10:7) to an Old Testament scripture (Deuteronomy 25:4) and calls them both scripture. And we can see in 2 Peter 3:15-16 Peter recognizes Paul's writing as scripture. See this.....2 Peter 2:15 Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
It's important to remember that the canon of the New Testament was not the result of any pronouncement by any official of the church or any organizational body. Rather, the canon was determined by the authoritative use of these books right from the start by the rapidly expanding Church of the first and second centuries.
You need to be rebuted sharply!
Titus 1:13
This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them
sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith
Repent, mjrhealth! Repent of this evilness of your throwing suspicion on the written word of God from the New Covenant/New Testament.
2 Timothy 2:25-26 Those who oppose him he must gently instruct,
in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
