The bible contains what percentage of 'ALL SCRIPTURE'? 2 Timothy 3:16

[ScottA]

So is it possible to then to be trained in righteousness, to be complete, fully equipped for every good work since we don't have access to ALL SCRIPTURE?

2 Tim 3:16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.

Paul's use of "all scripture" is not to say that all scripture was fully accessible at that time, but just to clarify that when it comes, and how it comes, it "is God-breathed." In other words, Paul was not declaring that all scripture had come, and certainly was not contradicting what is written regarding those portions of scripture that were sealed and not to be revealed until the end.

Meaning that the man of God is fully equipped for every good work--but only according to God's timing--only what and when the times are fulfilled. So each person to whom God has revealed knowledge down through the ages, from Noah, Abraham, Moses, etc--each was indeed fully equipped during their time according to His purpose.

 

[Ronald Nolette]

You're trying to put God in a box--to put a limit on what is biblically described as innumerable and without limit.

You are also assuming that what is written in this world, is all that is written in heaven. But think about what you're saying-- that what God said was sealed and would not come (not be revealed) until the end, is not true. I tell you, it is God who is true, and you are not.

I am not putting god in a box. I know His knowledge goes way beyond what is written.

And I never implied that the bible is all that is written in heaven. it is all God gave us to fill righteousness and get to know Him.

any "new Revelations" that one says that comes from God and even subtly goes against Scripture is not from god! The only ones in history since the end of the first century who have received"new revelation" have been cultists and heretics.

Absolutely

And I never implied that the bible is all that is written in heaven. it is all God gave us to fill righteousness and get to know Him.

What do you mean by your words, 'fill righteousness'?

What about the Spirit of Truth Himself? Hasn't He been revealing Himself to you, Jesus and His Father beyond anything you've come across in the bible?

And when did God tell you it is all God gave us to fill righteousness and get to know Him?

any "new Revelations" that one says that comes from God and even subtly goes against Scripture is not from god! The only ones in history since the end of the first century who have received"new revelation" have been cultists and heretics.

Can you substantiate YOUR claim. There is NOTHING recorded in the bible that states this. Are YOU trying to start a new cult or could someone be justified in saying that YOU are a heretic or propagating heretical thoughts.

Paul's use of "all scripture" is not to say that all scripture was fully accessible at that time, but just to clarify that when it comes, and how it comes, it "is God-breathed."

So now what a prophet who is filled and carried along by the Spirit of God speaks to the church this isn't God-breathed? If not, who is speaking?

 

[One 2 question]

Paul was not declaring that all scripture had come, and certainly was not contradicting what is written regarding those portions of scripture that were sealed and not to be revealed until the end.

Can I ask why so many Christians are so concerned about contradictions? When God Himself contradicts what He had previously written.

As He's done it before, can't He do it again?

Some have gone as far to believe and teach that the man of God is fully equipped for every good work because of words written in a book. And a person without access to these writings in the bible cannot carry out every good work God has appointed to them. How would you respond to these false teachers and their lies?

 

[Jack]

So you don't know? Surely you must've investigated this you place so much emphasis on this book you hardly ever quote. Something seems very off. Why are you ashamed of the bible Jack? Why do you deny Jesus and His words?

Better question: Why would anyone believe you? You said you're going to Hell FOREVER! I hope you're wrong as usual.

 

[Jack]

When Jesus said, '...if they have kept my words, they will keep yours' John 15:20, who do you think he was talking about Jack?

So you believe One 2 question who says you're going to Hell?

 

[Jack]

Life outside the bibles is great.

Yeah, if you want to burn in Hell.

Living Life by the words of God in the bibles is great too. There you go.

You said you're going to Hell. There YOU go!

 

[quietthinker]

So you believe One 2 question who says you're going to Hell?

why not answer my question Jack?

 

[Jack]

No problem here. I know that it's the Spirit's responsibility to convince people of the truth.

You said you're going to Hell and that's no problem? You're guided by demons!

[One 2 question]

That is the problem with this generation .
It seeks to heed voices of men who often use phrases like this
and yet the peoples who sit under them have no idea it was naught but a trap .

What trap is that?

 

[One 2 question]

Verily verily i write unto thee
The scripture IS TRUTH , and all men , women , children , talking donkeys , voices , angels
who do speak a word , MUST be tested against the scripture in that bible .

Who added this extra condition?

What about scripture that they left out of the bibles?

 

[One 2 question]

THIS you do not DO . For i have seen the things you imply and teach
and boy howdy is it contrary to such scripture . But you think its coming of GOD .

Can you give details to confirm your outlandish claim.

Why do you still fight the biblically true reality of what was sealed did not come at "the end of the first century" are to come well after that at the end? You may as well as say, “Has God indeed said" it would come? And you are so adamant, how is it that you do not realize that you sound like a serpent denying part of what God has said?

 

[ScottA]

So now what a prophet who is filled and carried along by the Spirit of God speaks to the church this isn't God-breathed? If not, who is speaking?

Of course it is--and as I said, don't get me wrong--God has not changed nor stopped speaking. Even so, there are many who make false claims, and few that are true.

 

[ScottA]

Can I ask why so many Christians are so concerned about contradictions? When God Himself contradicts what He had previously written.

As He's done it before, can't He do it again?

God has not contradicted himself. If you or anyone thinks so, you only show that you do not understand. Would-be contradictions come from misinterpretation.

And a person without access to these writings in the bible cannot carry out every good work God has appointed to them. How would you respond to these false teachers and their lies?

What book are you referring to, the Bible? If so, you are under the wrong impression-- Men are not in control of God's word--they do not decide what is and is not included--God does. He alone has providence over His word. He alone presides over every generation of men who only held His world in their little hands for a short while.

In any case, the Bible is true, and what men do with it is in God's hands. Even the evils of false teachers and their lies, having no understanding--God has intended for good.

As for other books-- they are of men and by men, and many believe what they ought not believe.

 

[ProDeo]

Of course it is--and as I said, don't get me wrong--God has not changed nor stopped speaking. Even so, there are many who make false claims, and few that are true.

If God has not changed nor stopped speaking, can you post the examples God did ?
