    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    Yet I ask a simple question. Who did God specifically ask to form a biblical canon. When did God say to close it and to whom did He command it?

    Can AI be used for the Gospel?

    The words of the LORD are pure words. Hebrew; Words - something said: - commandment, saying, speech, word. I have no doubt God has preserved what He has said, commanded, in fact EVERY single word that proceeds from His mouth. Most have never been written down. I don't think anyone would...

    Any spirit that would lead you away from the Bible is not a spirit coming from the Lord. For others sake you might want to give some specifics. Thanks

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    We've already established the fact that God does contradict what He writes with what He says. God wrote (with His own finger), do not kill (cut in pieces, murder). God said to Joshua, kill (cut in pieces with the sword) all men, women, children and animals. I'm not suggesting that God is...

    Hellfire and brimstone has given way to eternal separation from God. - Why?

    The fantastic hope I have is in the revelation of future event where ALL humans and ALL unfaithful angels will repent, be forgiven and be reunited with their Creators, fellow angels and fellow humans. This ignites an inner joy and excitement like nothing else. I can't wait to see this event...

    Hellfire and brimstone has given way to eternal separation from God. - Why?

    There will be judgement handed out for those who don't repent in their lifetime. They will do time for their crime. But thanks to God's mercy and irresistible grace, all of them will repent and find God's favour. Yes, they will be reconciled to their Creator. Now that's beyond awesome! All...

    Hellfire and brimstone has given way to eternal separation from God. - Why?

    Jesus has more to say about hell than anyone? Or more about the lake of fire than anyone? Are you refering to the historical Jesus when on earth in human form or the glorified Jesus since He returned to heaven? I didn't want to assume you meant what was recorded in the bible.

    Hellfire and brimstone has given way to eternal separation from God. - Why?

    What does the God you've come to know want more? A lake of fire full of unrepentant beings OR an empty LOF as all it's former residence have repented and been released?

    I thought a human committee decided by voting on what should be included in the bible and came up with the 73 books. If you want to say it was God Who told them to do this then go ahead. Was it God who carried others along by His Spirit to decide on the 88 books of another biblical canon. Was...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    I have been in a long term relationship with the Spirit of Christ. Decades in fact. So I have gotten to hear and know Him. And the great comfort is knowing that my Father, the Creator of all things, will not give me something harmful when I ask Him for truth. And if I hear Him incorrectly He...

    Where did YOU get this idea from? The Spirit of the Creator leads me into truth, be it found in the bibles or outside them.

    I don't disagree with you. It is a great resource. If a person decides to make a glass bottle, then fills it up with water from a lake, then the bottle was made to contain water. It is a water bottle. If various people gather water from the same lake and puts that water into water bottles...

    What do mean here, 'Because of handling the Word of Life?' Obviously you weren't alive when John heard Jesus, the Word of Life. Nor saw Him with your eyes and looked upon Him. Nor touched and handles Jesus the Word of Life. So how can you be guilty of this?

    Yes, God's endless volume of words He expresses throughout eternity will be more then I'll ever know. God's truths in the scriptures, in the bibles, expressed through the members of the church by the Spirit of God to this day are absolutely precious. Absolutely. Yet I'm privileged, as are...

    Jesus read from the scrolls containing writings from a few of God's people. Absolutely. They definitely testify of Him. Yes, God's words includes these and much, much, much more and will never be exhausted as God continues to speak. Sure. And those who have His Spirit within them, chosen by...

    The bibles contains a very small percentage of God's words. God's words if all written down would fill this planet and more. What the bibles contain of the progressive word of God may be like a drop in the ocean. For sure. All of God's word, every word that proceeds from the mouth of God will...

    What do YOU mean by the word of God? If you mean, what was written down, than no way. That is far from the truth my friend. I use that reference, biblical language, because that would be better understood by most in this forum.

    No it doesn't. GOD Himself has all knowledge and understanding and truth. Not the bibles.

    Adam and Eve knew God before there was any bible. God spoke directly to Cain before the scriptures ever existed. Yes He does. And more importantly He enables us to love God and our neighbours. He is truly amazing how the Resident Spirit releases His character within us and it finds it way out...

    Again, I can't comment on your response. I don't know what you mean by your term, God's word for Truth. If anyone is listening to the devil then it won't end well for them. But us sheep who only listen out for our well known shepherd know a strangers voice and we reject them and what they...
