God is not the sum of the few words written about Him.

Where do you get this stuff from? Certainly not the scriptures. Your ideas are your own interpretations and expressions of YOUR interior thoughts.

Haven't you ever gone boldly into the presence of God? Haven't you heard God speak words of love to you?

I hear you express your love for the scriptures and the bibles. But no expression of endearment as one does for a another treasured person.

My expression of emotion towards God Himself, Christ and His body, for those not yet in Christ, for Satan are generated by the Spirit within me. As it was recorded when Jesus wept for His cousin, His Own people, got angry with those who disrespected His Father. Emotions are a great God designed and created part of us humans. As is the mind. I'm not going to hold back worshipping Him with every part of my being. You should give it a go. God will appreciate it.
You keep missing Truth

LISTEN to TRUTH - John 21:24-25
This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who has written them down. And we know that his testimony is true.
There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written.

You’re not Paul, and you’re not John. Nothing you’re doing looks anything like what they taught or lived. They never treated imagination as revelation, and they never told anyone to follow inner pictures or private impressions. Jesus didn’t tell people to trust whatever comes into their mind. He spoke the truth from the Father.
Yes, Jesus continues to speak truth now that He's back by His Father's side. And as He promised, He will send His Spirit with God's truths directly to us. I really value receiving these truths. They have been life changing.
Your imagination is not the Holy Spirit. It is not Scripture. And Scripture says the heart is deceitful ~Jeremiah 17:9. That includes imagination. Stop raising your thoughts to the level of God’s Word. The Spirit speaks through Scripture alone, not through whatever your mind produces.
Again, God's use of our imagination He designed and created in us is incredible. He has given us a new heart as part of the new birth. The old heart, the one that was desperately wicked and deceitful has been replaced. I have the mind of Christ because of this new birth into Christ. Now my imagination with the new heart and mind of Christ can see and understand divine truths it was blind to previously. As Paul experienced and expressed, Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
We have the mind of Christ.
So let me put it in your own language:
Imagine this… Hell is real. Satan is real.
Truth
And deceiving people with your imagination is not what a true believer does. If you continue in this, it shows you have never truly known the truth that saves.
Untruth.

Jesus is Lord. Truth. And He invites us to understand His parables via our imagination. And God will do so much more than we can imagine or ask. So imagine away with your new mind. There's no need to fear it. Remember we have a NEW heart and we have the mind of Christ.

Can you explain why you quoted this truth.

Are you not the one who claims extra truth and knowledge?

The Truth i posted undermines your own platform = but do you know why???

God is not against us = HE is for us in Truth
Why is God against us when He gives us more and more and much more truth. More than could ever be written down. He is being extra kind and generous to share His truths directly through His Spirit in us.

Why my friend? Did God tell you that this is not going to happen in an age to come?
yes its in the book of revelations where satan ends up in the lake of fire also called the second death!

Revelation 20:10
“The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone… and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”

OK - coffee ingested

Let us = LISTEN to TRUTH - John 21:24-25

There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written.

i AGREE with this Truth and the fact that their is so much MORE that God will eventually reveal to us of His Glory.

The Apostle John knows this very well for HE experienced it First-HAND = at the Right Hand of GOD = walking with CHRIST

Now NOTICE that John was fully submitted to Christ and as such he was given more Truth then most realize.
Yet, what does the Holy Spirit in John want us to place our complete trust in??? = His Written Words of LIFE

We are all born in darkness and sin, our minds unable to SEE except for the Grace and Mercy of GOD in His Creation and in His Word

The only Way to come out of the darkness/sin is to run to the LIGHT = JESUS is that LIGHT and so also is His Word

What John knows and most overlook and even worse deny = John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The Word that was God in the Beginning became flesh and dwelt among us.

God knew exactly the Weapon that HE avails to us when He Spoke Truth = His Word
Even down to the smallest letter

For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. - Matt 5:18

Satan wants you to look outside of His Word for "truth" = for there satan can lure you into his "truth"

Please read again Matthew 4:1-11

Thank You

Keiw,
You know that NWT John 1:1 is completely false, for YHWH would never allow another 'god' before HIM.

I am YHWH, and there is no other;
There is no God besides Me.
I will gird you, though you have not known Me,
That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting
That there is none besides Me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other;

I form the light and create darkness,
I make peace and create calamity;
I, the Lord, do all these things.
Isaiah 45:5


Exodus 34:14
for you shall worship no other god, for YHWH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous El
Your reasoning is wrong. It says do not worship them. JW,s only give worship to ( YHWH)Jehovah. It is religions in darkness that give worship to others.

One of the most surprising facts in Scripture is that some of the most vicious enemies of God are also the most religious. Jesus discovered this first hand. The Pharisees, the religious leaders of His day, were not pagans or atheists or street-corner rebels. They were men who quoted Scripture, led the worship of the people, and appeared devout. But when the Son of God stood before them, they mocked Him. Luke records that “the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed Him” ~Luke 16:14.

That one verse pierces through the mask of religious appearance. Their mockery was not simply a matter of intellectual disagreement over Jesus’ teaching. Rather, it exposed what was ruling their hearts. They loved money more than God. They valued power more than purity and reputation more than repentance. When the light of truth came into their camp, they sneered. The same spirit lives on today in those who would preach comfort rather than conviction; those who replace repentance with self-esteem; and those who use the name of God to line their own pockets.

The Bible says flatly, “Men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil” ~John 3:19. When the light of truth shines, the hypocrite flees or fights. This is why so many false teachers ridicule biblical preaching that calls for holiness. They laugh at those who take God’s Word seriously. They label obedience “legalism” and sound doctrine “division.” But their hostility only proves the truth of what Jesus said: “No one can serve two masters… You cannot serve God and money” ~Matthew 6:24.

Faith runs to the light, it does not run from it. Those who truly belong to Christ love the truth even when it stings, because they know that the Word is life. But the false teacher has to protect his system at all costs. He will twist Scripture to justify sin and deaden conviction. Just as the Pharisees “justify themselves before men, but God knows their hearts” ~Luke 16:15.

Mockery of the truth has become fashionable again. Those preachers who are willing to call sin what it is are now labeled intolerant. Churches who hold on to the authority of Scripture are accused of being “outdated.” But God is not mocked. “Whatever a man sows, that will he also reap” ~Galatians 6:7. The sneer of a false teacher may sound confident today, but it will not silence the voice of judgment tomorrow.

Religion without repentance is just a stage act. It may impress men, but it disgusts God. “That which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God” ~Luke 16:15. The showy prayers, the polished speeches, the claims of enlightenment, all of it means nothing if the heart refuses to bow to Christ.

The gospel pierces the heart. It calls every person, religious or not, to confess their sin and trust in the only One who saves. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life; no man comes to the Father but by Me” ~John 14:6. Any message that denies or dilutes that truth mocks God Himself.

So when religion scoffs at God today, when the pulpits grow soft and the world applauds, remember this: the same sneer that turned on Jesus will turn on anyone else who is willing to stand for His Word. But just as He conquered every mocker at the cross, His truth will stand long after the laughter has died away. “The Word of the Lord endures forever” ~1 Peter 1:25.

Every false religion says man must climb his way up to God. The true gospel proclaims that God came down to us in Christ. The Lord who was mocked by men now offers mercy to all who will turn from sin and believe. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” ~John 3:16.

Turn to Him while there’s still time. The One the world mocked is the only One who can save.
And what is the religion of all religoins , that will bring together all religoins
And cliams to be LOVE and of GOD but its love has DENIED HIM , HIS CHRIST .

BUT HE who DENIES JESUS IS THE CHRIST , HE IS ANTI CHRIST . IT COMETH OF ANTI CHRIST to bring
the decieved to merge , TO MERGE NOW AS ONE , under ANTI CHRIST and for to rid this earth
IN TIME of all who confor med not to its many path broad road love of UNBELEIF . This is
THE DELUSION SENT to MERGE the decieved as one . No longer divided but NOW UNITED AS ONE .

God's Commandment says no other gods before Him

This implies MORE then worship.

What did God Say by using the word "before" Him?

Yes, for sure. The Creator used His imagination to design then create a place John refered to as the lake of fire.

And those sent there will be there for ever and ever. Or more accurately for age and age

αἰών
aiōn
properly an age
