Who revealed Christ to Peter, scriptures? Or the Spirit. It is always the Spirit, which is why man can read the scriptures, over and over... and over... and over. Until the Spirit quickens we have no life. The scriptures are wonderful, and a great tool in the hands of the Lord, but unless it...

What do you mean, Comm? Not sure I understand... We are to be connected because of our brotherly love, by this we are recognized and recognize each other. We connect with those around us, in our town or city, who have this same love... And there's the church!

Christ is the living word of God, and by him we have life and salvation. The scriptures are useful, as a tool in his hand. They only do their work when wielded by the Spirit, and he is the one who quickens. He is our life. John testified of Christ and what he saw, not that we might know the...

God is the one who saves, and Christ is salvation. The very questioon once again reveals that you think you have life in the scriptures, rather than in the one they testify of. Christ is the one by whom life comes.

I value scripture, but if a man deny the spirit by which they are breathed, and denies that this spirit teaches us and gives us understanding, I cannot agree. You yourself deny scripture when you say they are God, when in reality they testify of Him. Indeed, they speak of his character, but so...

Nice try, Insight. You have revealed yourself by using one scripture in a manner that denies the rest, and remain in denial of the message of scriptures, which testify of Christ.

Our Father is not the word, that is a ridiculous statement! Our Father is God himself, and him we follow. Otherwise, Jesus should of followed the law of Moses. ;) We are to follow Christ, the living word. The scriptures testify of him.

And yet he spoke things you do not read in the old testament, and made a new covenant, and was led of the Spirit. As a matter of fact, you search too far and err into mistake, the answer is in Hebrews 5:8, the verse before. 8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which...

I have told you openly, that indeed the sacred writings are able to make you wise. But only by the work of the Spirit, this is the part you do not agree with. This very thing reveals the nature of your argument, that you do not understand spiritual life. It is the spirit that quickeneth; the...

The scriptures are truth indeed because they testify of him, the truth. Christ says I am the truth, the way, and the life. He is the living word, the word of God, but not the scriptures in paper and ink.

Christ himself is salvation. Hebrews 5:9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him You continue to show yourself to have no understanding of spiritual things. Life is indeed found in him.

Your mistake is clear once enough. Scriptures are good for teaching. But life comes from the Lord. He himself has told us the scriptures testify of him, and he says come to ME, you who thirst. You claim the scriptures are the life, when they actually point to the life. What makes them...

Again. If Jesus says that one who testifies of himself, is not a good testimony, and he says the scriptures testify of him, then he cannot be the scriptures! He is the living word. When he said that 'wherever two or three are gathered, there I am', it isn't because people who gather to seek...

Jesus did not say he was scripture, he said he was the word. He even says that Scripture TESTIFY of him. And he says if one testifies of himself, it is a testimony of no value. Thus he testifies of the Father, and the Father of him. Put one and one together, and he cannot be scripture, but...

I have experienced his life, and he has given me of his Spirit, that I might learn. By this I know him.

It is Christ who gives life not scripture, otherwise it would say 'You do not divide them correctly, that you may have life.' But it says 'you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.' Christ is the word of life. The scriptures are true because they testify of him, but they are...

God is a merciful God, and my understanding is that he has mercy on the humble, and what we must do is persevere. It is indeed far. :) But our aim must indeed be about being conformed to him. Our concentration is not on 'not sinning' but on being one with Christ.

I know the verse you are thinking of. John 12:48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. Again, do you use this scripture to deny this one? 2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the...

The scriptures are profitable for teaching in righteousness, yes. But the Lord is the one who gives life. The Pharisees studied scriptures extensively, and yet were unrighteous. We must be taught of the Lord himself, and he is the one we call 'Master'. The scriptures testify of him.

And who is greater, the one who is exalted, or the one able to exalt? The Lord is the one who gives life. Through his word? Yes. That is, his son. 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made...
