The Shortest Way To The Truth

[Jack]

Ain't no 'short way'! STUDY the BIBLE! Don't go to 'church'!

 

[Gottservant]

How did God give the shortest path to you? Does God talk to you?

True, God is full of wisdom! Can you now specifically mention what that shorter way is? Hope we’re not running in circles here.

I'm telling you, the path God has given cannot be shorter!

I gave you a verse "the kingdom of God is within you", if you don't want that I have nothing.

""I gave you a verse "the kingdom of God is within you", if you don't want that I have nothing.""
Do you have any verses from Paul that teach "WITHIN YOU" or similar ?
I can only find :-

Great, you've got a search function. What does that have to do with Jesus saying "the Kingdom is within you"?

Like are you ignoring the one verse that has the most authority?

You can make the path within longer all you want, but you risk losing "power"?

The request for verses, NOT AN ATTACK, was simply for where does Paul teach "the Kingdom of God is within you"

Sorry, you thought you were helping. Just a word: if your response to a quote is more quotes, it looks like you are not listening - not because the verses are "wrong", but because you are not revealing your personal interpretation on them.

I forgive you; I hope you can forgive me.

The point again: there is no shorter path, than the path within. You might think "if the kingdom is completely within, it must be a long path", but that's the whole point, if the kingdom is within you - the entire kingdom! - then space does not work like it does on Earth - long paths are short and short paths are long.

you said >>> ""if your response to a quote is more quotes, it looks like you are not listening""
A good point, I will alter syntax in future to avoid confusion.
**
I am looking for verse/s where Paul teaches or implies "the kingdom of God is within you"

The Shortest Way To The Truth

There are two important things about knowing God and the salvation of our souls that we have to consider to keep ourselves away from deception, to wit:

1. Neither the bible nor John, Luke, Matthew, Paul, and the rest of the apostles is God.

2. Jesus is Immanuel, who is always beside us all the time. He is in a 24/7 watch mode for us who will come to Him and call on Him for the salvation of our souls.

Why do we have to be so obsessed with biblical accounts that we treat them as if they were the only source of truth about God and the salvation of our souls when Jesus is with us always, though we do not see Him yet? He can surely bring us to the truth if we come to Him and call on Him in the right way. Jesus, real and forever living God, is the only way to the truth about God and our salvation.

Because unfortunately some people mistake Jesus for feelings or experiences. Or substitute a false Jesus as the real Jesus. For which the wolves in sheep clothing is what Jesus warned the disciples and His church about. Especialy in the last days.

In the past we had a more clear and uncompromised church. Now we see many divisions and conflicts over what is Christs church. That in itself should tell us decernment is needed more than ever.

But I agree that Jesus is the only way. There is only one truth and that is Christ. First we are individually saved and transformed in mind and spirit.

So all those born again in Christ should be of one mind and spirit. They will naturally align with each other. They will be recognised as the bible says Christs sheep know His voice and those renewed will see Gods Kingdom where others see it as foolish.
