Every question on your mind find the answer in the Bible first.

[soberxp]

Very often, or in many cases, Whether you are a newbie to the Bible,or the old man to the Bible.Every question on your mind find the answer in the Bible first.

Because the words of the Bible are continuous and consistent.

For example,
1.the first question about the Bible that is why we should die and have sin.

I won't give answers. The rule is that you are not allowed to refer to the teachings of any organization or individual. Only look for the answers you need in the Bible.

One can directly quote from the Bible or respond by organizing language and using words from the Bible, but one cannot invent new words to explain.

Looking in my eyes, why tell me why, you can't answer the question?

Dear soberxp,

Yes, it is very true that we should only be looking to God's Word for the answers to the questions about God, mankind, creation, sin, salvation, etc.

If a person can't find an answer in scripture, then it is something we are not given to know at this time.

Consider what Paul said here:

1Cor 4:6 Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.

When Paul was presented a question, Paul would frequently say "what saith the scripture". God's Word was Paul's primary source of truth, and of course, Jesus Christ is that truth.

The problem for most believers (babes who draw milk) is that the New Covenant teachings of Christ are presented in "another language" that they do not understand (Isa 28:9-12). In that language, Christ uses "spirit" words which carry meanings that are different that what man's wisdom teaches.

1Cor 2:13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things (words) with spiritual (words).

To find the meanings of spirit words, Paul says to compare how a spirit word is used in other places of scripture. Then, with the guidance of the Spirit of Truth (Latter Rain), a person can discern the spirit word's meaning.

One of the primary problems that babes have is that they tend to look out into the world for a spirit word's meaning and then they apply that meaning in a outward way and not in an inward way. For this reason, the truth of Christ's New Covenant teachings remain veiled to them.

To further conceal the messages contained in Christ's spiritual teachings, Christ teaches truth in analogies, parables, prophecies and types. However, each of these teachings do not contain the full truth of a subject because Christ also teaches "here a little and there a little". The full teaching on a subject is not taught in just one portion of scripture. All scripture must be considered for understanding to occur on a particular subject.

As for your question, below is my response.

Why we should die and have sin?

This answer to that question requires that a person must understand why God made this creation in the first place.

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…

God made this creation to produce new children for Himself. This is the meaning of life for why mankind exists.

But because God requires His children to have a knowledge of good and evil, God first made mankind to be carnally minded and sinful so that they could learn about evil.

The verses below apply:

Rom 8:20 Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope...

Jer 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

Eve was shown to be carnally minded before she sinned:

Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food (LUST OF THE FLESH), and that it was pleasant to the eyes (LUST OF THE EYES), and a tree to be desired to make one wise (PRIDE OF LIFE), she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil...

Prov 16:4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Ecc 1:13 An experience of evil God has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it.

From what the scriptures above present, here is the short answer to your question:

God made this creation for the purpose of producing His offspring which have a knowledge of good and evil. At this time, mankind is sinful and evil, both on the giving end of evil and the receiving end of evil. As a result, all mankind is "condemned already" (John 3:18) and will die. But because God wants new children, He sent Jesus Christ into the world to transition mankind from being evil to being good (1John 4:14). The spiritual process that Christ uses to make this change within mankind is called conversion.

After God's purpose for evil is satisfied, Christ will have converted every person who has ever lived. The resulting child of God will then have a knowledge of evil which will enable them to appreciate and know the goodness of their Father.

In the end, every person who has ever lived will be born as child of God.

Rom 5:18 so then as it was by one offence towards all men to condemnation, so by one righteousness towards all men for justification of life. 19 For as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be constituted righteous.

1Tim 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

God leaves nothing in this creation up to chance or to mankind's supposed free will ability. God causes everything to happen just has He has spoken it and revealed through the prophets.

Dan 4:35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of the heavens, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: 11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.

Acts 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

Because the words of the Bible are continuous and consistent.

Here are some questions:

What are the complete details surrounding the creation of the angels and universe?
What are the complete details surrounding Adam and Eve and their descendants?
What took place during Lucifer's rebellion?
What all happened during Mary's birth and childhood?
What was said between Joseph and Mary during their first meeting and occurred throughout their marriage?
What all happened during Jesus's birth and childhood?
What other things did Jesus say and do during His ministry?
What's God's in-depth explanation on the soul, Grace, Faith, the Holy Trinity, etc.?
What does God have to say on what has happened and is happening in the world right now?

...just to name a few. And, the answers can't be found in The Bible, and yet those answers exist, and thus can and will be found elsewhere. This is why people need to remember that the canonical Gospel is essential for believing and for saving oneself; but it is not a complete knowledge of Jesus, of others, nor of all spiritual subjects, and so on. Not only that, but also remember that God is a living God, which means He's going to continue revealing or repeating Himself to His creation, and so there's going to be truths from God found elsewhere too.

God has given us in the bible all that is needed. If we needed to know about Mary's birth and childhood, it would have been in the bible, the same with the childhood of Jesus and all the other things you mention.

The point is that certain true information can't and won't be found in The Bible, and yet that true information exists and thus can and will be found elsewhere.

No, surely the point is that what is in the bible is God's inspired word. We know it is true. People over the centuries have come up with all sorts of fanciful notions to plug what they see as gaps. Regarding the early years of Jesus, there is the so-called Infancy Gospel of Thomas, which has Jesus as a boy making birds out of clay and bringing them to life, and killing other children who displeased Him.

Everything that needs to be revealed has been revealed in God's inspired word. Everything you need to know concerning God, is written for you to learn. There are the world things that are not in the inspired word of God, because we are not of the world. Our home is in heaven and our thoughts should be towards heaven, because we are God's children and sons of God. Nothing has changed.

Ecclesiastes 1:9-
That which has been, is what will be,
That which is done is what be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun.

Nothing new under the sun? what about chatbots or EV's or vaccinations....the list goes on. When will we be contextual?

talking has always been and so have been encyclopedias. You don't need chatbots, the info is there already. 4 wheels on a cart, and one horsepower, so whats new about EV's. Vaccine's?; please, most are placebo's, The cure for most diseases is on your plate. Prayer and fasting, and walking or running, all this kept everyone healthy without shots, when I grew up.

What else has been revealed in the last 600 yrs.?

 

[Magdala]

Prove that the bible "is not a complete knowledge of Jesus". @Magdala

The canonical Gospel does not contain a complete account surrounding Jesus's birth, childhood, and ministry. Even John the apostle said, "There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written" (Jn. 21:25).

Good dodge, but, its not going to work today....

"well behold, the bible does not state what Jesus was doing in his early years"..

And neither does any other "source".......

If God wanted us to know what Jesus was doing as a 6 yrs old....if this mattered, then it would be in the Bible.

So, your verse is talking about Jesus's miracles... but by stating that there were more......then that completes the context.

So, what you posted is that the bible is not the complete knowledge of JESUS.......not the works of Jesus....but of "" JESUS."""

Now, again.......prove that the bible is not the complete knowledge of JESUS, Himself. @Magdala

The KJV bible is the preserved word of God. Everything you need to know has been written. There is no need Jesus's childhood. and Jesus's ministry started a the wedding of Cana. What else is there? Do you have complete knowledge of the bible to say what is not in it?

 

[Magdala]

Regarding what truly has come from God, so much has been in that time! I can give you links to all kinds of subjects God has dictated to people about and shown them through taking recourse to visions, if you're interested. Truly believing that our God is a living, loving, and interacting God doesn't mean Scripture isn't important or should be forgotten. But, look at how man has corrupted even that. Look at all the various interpretations of the same verse, all claiming to be right, but they can't all be right. Look at how some denominations straight up edited Scripture to their liking, leaving out words, or books all together! Translators of Scripture aren't all free from error either. So, if God wanted to take pleasure in restoring the picture of His Divine Charity as a restorer of mosaics does replacing the tesserae damaged or missing, reinstating the mosaic in its complete beauty, and He has decided to do it in this or that century in which mankind is hurling itself towards the Abyss of darkness and horror, can you forbid Him from doing so? Can you perhaps say that people do not need it, whose spirits are dull, weak, deaf to lights, voices and invitations from Above?

Go through the New Testament, you won't find a complete account surrounding Jesus's birth, childhood, and ministry (and I quoted the apostle John as proof not all of what Jesus did during His ministry is recorded by the Evangelists). So, as I said, the canonical Gospel is essential for believing and for saving oneself; but it is not a complete knowledge of Jesus, of others, nor of all spiritual subjects, and so on.
