The Audience that was alive on earth during the days of Jesus and the Apostles have died and have been judged.
Why didn’t you say so? If that is the case does that mean revelation has been completed too? Cause at first you just suggested the Bible was written to all people who are believers today.
Believe me the Bible was never written with me or you in mind when they wrote; they wrote about their time and what was going on and was gonna happen in their lifetime.
The Bible is a most wonderful gift given by God and is helpful to restore the mind and soul, so I agree with you both on these things @David in NJ, @amigo de christo.
and even though the Bible was not written to us or for us even in mind; the benefit of trying to study and see what is true is beneficial.
I don’t have everything right, and no one should believe me but test all things and hold on to what is good.
There is no Bible verse anywhere that suggest everything the apostles had done, and so forth are needed for us to do today because the days of material religion or church is not around.
What is around? People who live by the spirit to seek and to love God and love others, and that comes with also sharing the gospel and teaching it to others so that they can grow and become not only mature but to grow in understanding the surround audience, the times of the audience, the culture, and all these things play in to learning and growing in one’s individual faith which are all different measures accordingly given by God.
