Does anyone know what percentage of 'All Scripture' is contained in their bible?

2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

IF one has the true and pure desire that cometh of GOD
they had loved TRUTH .
Now go and let us learn THIS . cause folks are always trying to find ways around
TRUTH , when said TRUTH does say something they did not desire to hear , for it e xposed their sin and their e rror .
SO . Pilate once asked , WHAT IS TRUTH .
Something most all of this church age may as well b e asking . cause many darn sure dont seem to know
or love TRUTH .
This is a very friendly reminder to us all . EXAMINE what it is your heart t ruly l oves and desires to hear and to beleive .
AND WHEN or IF IT CONTRADICTS THE TRUTH , PRAY to GOD for a new heart with new desires . cause somthing is dead wrong

But you said, "Life with God outside the Bible is great".

Is ALL truth found in ALL scripture my friend? Or just some
cause folks are always trying to find ways around
TRUTH , when said TRUTH does say something they did not desire to hear , for it e xposed their sin and their e rror .
Agreed.
SO . Pilate once asked , WHAT IS TRUTH .
Obviously Jesus couldn't say Truth is all in the bible, as it hasn't been compiled and made into the various closed canons we have today.

Likewise, not ALL scripture was all truth as Paul's writings had not been written at that stage.
WHEN or IF IT CONTRADICTS THE TRUTH , PRAY to GOD for a new heart with new desires . cause somthing is dead wrong
How do you know if what someone speaks, believes or practices is truth? What library in the world contains all truth? What website?

Without access to ALL truth then when new information becomes available that doesn't contradict what's already available how can you determine if it's God's words or not?

Paul is reminding Timothy of the Old Testament.

It is never meant to indicate the New.

How does one know if what someone says , believes or pratices is TRUTH .
JESUS HAS HIS SHEEP . and they know what is written IS THE TRUTH .
The SPIRIT does lead and guide them . And the SPIRIT is TRUTH
and will not lead a sheep into a lie and error .
YET many claim to HAVE THE SPIRIT and yet their words and actions , fruits and deeds , PROVE otherwise .
Opinions , opinions , opinions of which are many , and yet many of those opinions are and do contradict TRUTH .
SO when i say BIBLE TIME , why is that call so resisted . And why are those words of ten omitted and twisted
in favor of what many beleive is OF THE SPIRIT and IS LOVE and OF GOD . WHEN IT darn sure aint .

Contents of The Forgotten Books of Eden

Extra-biblical texts found
It is the opinion of some that some of these are Gnostic. But that only means so much because we know so little about ancient Gnosticism because of its secretive nature. For example at the time the Gospel of John was considered Gnostic and that is why the text we have seems to have parts cut out of it. The Gnostics had no use for God the Father Yahweh or even the Old Testament. They thought Yahweh was a cruel or insane God. So they focused on Yeshua as the only true God and the Holy Spirit not as a God but the spirit of Yeshua. Before the Ecumenical Councils Gnosticism was neck to neck with what we would call main stream Christian beliefs.

The bible contains 100% of all man needs to know to have a saving right relationship with God. Anything else we need will be shown in eternity and not now

Ya thing so? Where would Christianity be with closed minded people like you. The scriptures do not put an end to polygamy, concubinage, or slavery. Concubinage....fathers selling their daughters as sex slaves. Not to mention recognizing that women are equal members in Christianity and fathers would still be selling their daughters to men of their choosing.

You're searching outside the Bible again?

Quoting YOU: "Life with God OUTSIDE the Bible is great."

That's not entirely biblical.

The Bible--God--highlights things sealed that were to be revealed just before the end, which "finish" "the mystery of God."

It is only true that "the Bible contains 100% of all" needed until then, until the times are fulfilled.

I've never read in the bibles that the Bible contains 100% of all" needed until then, until the times are fulfilled

Is this merely the teaching of man? Or was this a truth straight from the mouth of God, beyond the bible?

It is the culmination or reconciliation of "every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" "precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.” combined with His words about parts being sealed "until the end", and His promises of the Holy Spirit's guiding "unto all truth" and "the mystery of God would be finished."

But I was quoting Ronald's use of "100%" (written in the Bible, making the clarification that parts are written as not being revealed "until the end."

That's FACT! One 2 question doesn't seem to have a clue.
