In BIBLE we trust? - Misplaced allegiance?

[Behold]

Time to educate yourself about that canonization and translation of scripture.

Majority Text vs. Critical Text vs. Textus Receptus – Textual Criticism 101

So tell us @St. SteVen ..

Have you tried to lead anyone into Hell recently, by telling them that they dont need to be born again and forgiven while they are alive, because God is going to save everyone in the end........anyway, and already has ?.??

I agree.
Humankind produced the Bible.
Should we trust the book more than the author?

What I mean is, does our relationship with the book of more importance
than our personal relationship with God?

[

The first question is difficult to answer, but really, there are some big problems with translation in the Bible. I prefer to believe the original author.more importance is our personal relationship with God.

Rather assumptive, isn't it?
Points to the God of the founding fathers, I suppose.

The In God We Trust motto was a counter action created in 1956 in part against the atheist communist USSR during the Cold war era.

I thought it was earlier than that. "The Star-Spangled Banner" includes: ""And this be our motto—"In God is our trust."" The phrase, "In God we Trust" was coined in the American Civil War.

Perhaps. But the motto was applied in print on our currency and even on the wall behind the bench in many courtrooms and Congress during the Cold war.

Seems too many make an idol of their personal interpretation of the Bible.
Claiming theirs is the only truth and that others are "of the devil" because their view differs.
What's wrong with this picture? Misplaced allegiance. Religious fiefdoms.
Building walls, instead of bridges.

- What is the purpose of the Bible?
- Should the Bible be used to cause division?
- Where is your allegiance ultimately?

as there is but one true God it follows that there can only one way to worship that he will except. oh the people will be saying Jesus is the Christ but that's only for Sunday. the rest of the week ,stab each other in the back .

I don't follow the logic there.
I recognize many ways to worship God across the globe in different cultures and also changes over time.
The early church didn't have pews or hymn books.

please let me ask what does Matthew 7:23 and Luke 13:27 mean to you?

It means a relationship with God is paramount.
(therefore NOT a relationship with a book)

and if not recognized for what you thought should get ya a'' at a boy'' you are no better off than someone giving worship to a idol.

 

[Deleted member 26788]

just because you had intent ,when you could of searched to find what
God really wants . is a failing of many. if ya want to be recognized by God things have to be done his way. he is not the servant of mankind .

LOL
Goodbye.

That's not true. (Matthew 23:10-12)

please let me ask what does Matthew 7:23 and Luke 13:27 mean to you?

Not to work iniquity since in both places they are told to depart from him

Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are;
depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

Matt 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

He does not know them, but in contrast to here Paul says,

2 Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Those who name the name of Christ are to depart from iniquity, because he gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity

Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

That is something you want to put in reverse

Romans 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

On the one hand Paul tells those who name the name of Jesus Christ to depart from iniquity and in the end there is Jesus telling those he knows not to depart from himself who work it.

That is your opinion. that you posted.

The Reality is, if the Bible is not the Final Authoriity, then your opinions are your final authority, which explains you. @St. SteVen

And still others push the Bible away, mocking those who read God's Word to us in it. Sad but true!

That is FACT! All STV has are his opinions.

Quoting STV:
"Yes.
And clarity is further confused by the definitions shell game.
Why do we need a secret decoder ring to understand the Bible?
This is Freakin' nuts. (no wonder I don't trust the Bible)"

Another one for your collection:

The Bible translators biased it, I believe it, that settles it.
Why would you question God?
