Quoting YOU: "Life with God outside the Bible is great".Again you pull the writings of one person way out of its context and try to pin that tail on the donkey while blindfolded to what end? To fit in with someone's agenda or belief system. Did John tell you this is what he was refering to? More importantly did God tell you directly this is what He meant. I'm not saying that God can't supernaturally help a person pin one truth to another truth. But in more cases than not its a false doctrine or teaching that is passed on and passed down from generation to generation. Believed but not personally confirmed by the Spirit of Truth Who lives in them. If in fact He is living in them.
That wouldn't be God of the Bible!
