    Jack, you said, God is not with those who forsake the Bible. Satan is. I never came across this statement in the bibles.

    'Some will depart from the faith' not, depart from the bible.

    Those who are led by the bible are children of God or is it those who are led by the Spirit are children of God. And if we are children, we are brethren and sisters.

    Out of interest. Did the Spirit tell you this, as this statement is not in the bibles.

    His God and Creator is my God and Creator. Moses had direct communication with God. He didn't need to read it. Same with this child of God, in fact every child of God. A direct relationship is the norm. Not the exception as many of us were told by the Pharisees and priests over thousands of...

    Yes, I did. Details are above of why I heeded God and how I heeded my God. I'm glad I did and bear the good fruit as a result. As some say, the proof is in the pudding, or, the proof is in the eating. I don't limit the Spirit of Christ from feeding me anything. I know and trust He will give...

    So who was Adam's scribe? Who wrote down the story of creation? Wasn't it Moses who came over 2500 years later. Where did he get his detailed information about the creation of Adam and Eve? Who wrote them down previously so Moses could rewrite and add to it?

    Sure. The situation for me was that the Spirit of Christ opened my eyes to see that He was not my first go to in my life. It was the bible. I would not read any other material nor consult any person, not even God, just the bible. The Spirit convicted me of this unhealthy sinful action of...

    And people want to argue over a specific word in a certain translation! We know of Chinese whispers. The bibles that we have today could be way out and not completely accurate. But what the Spirit says directly to us is as they say, straight from the horses mouth. No second hand, third or...

    Nor mature and glorify us. That's the role of His Spirit. What a relief.

    And it's the same Spirit of God Who grows us and brings us to maturity in this life then glorifies us into the next one. Why some think we start with the Spirit then move onto the bible to teach, guide, grow us and glorify us puzzles me. The bible can be a helpful tool when one is young in...

    These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has...

    That's for sure. I would not be surprised if its the majority. Many haven't experienced the Spirit, they haven't heard from Him or talk with Him. They are more ok to keep God the Father at a distance, in heaven. They are content to talk to God the Father at Jesus's left but not Jesus Whose...

    Possessing Spirit and having the Spirit possess us is essential. For it is these who are children of the Divine Father. Possessing the bible or any other book is not essential. I would not dare compare a book with the Person God sent to indwelling us. For those who do it could be seen as...

    Is it fair to question the idea of a closed canon? In this case, the legitimacy of a biblical canon. It was initially open so that writings could be collected and compiled to form a canon. Then someone must've come to the conclusion that they had all that was needed, then closed it. Was it...

    As there have been many bible canons with different books in them, like the first one that was put in circulation amoung the early church which had only 11 scrolls/books. More books were added over time, the Catholic bible with 73 books, until the Ethiopian bible complete with 88 books became...
