    I wonder why more people don't question these things.

    I would think that most who identify as Christian would've never looked into it. Yes, Luther was credited for removing 14 books in one go. Not sure if he should be praised or judged for it. So who decides what is inspired or not?

    Have you done a thorough study of the origins and development of the biblical canons? It appears that you haven't but I don't want to assume you haven't. If you have, could you teach us what you've learnt. Could you explain what you mean here. Example. The future restoration of Satan. His...

    You keep refering to the Christian Bible. What biblical canon are you refering to? There have been plenty. There are still numerous ones available now. Which is the Christian one and which ones are not? Again you have been respectfully asked to clarify your conclusion, For Christians it's ALL...

    God's mercy, grace, forgiveness are inherited traits, inherited from the Spirit Who was sent to infuse and transfer God's nature into us. Isn't it encouraging to see the nature and character of the Divine Father and Creator in eachother and ourselves. This is truly a miracle which can only be...

    Yes, I encourage others and myself to suspend judgement. To spend the time and energy one would use to build up a case to judge, even condemn someone and instead invest that time and energy in getting to know that person and their real story, the one most people tend to hide out of guilt, shame...

    I'm happy to speak the language of the bibles as I have from my first ever post in this forum through to now. Please correct me if I'm not correct. It appears that you wouldn't be as concerned with us if we were to claim to find truth exclusively outside of the bibles, but you are that we can...

    So just to clarify what you seem to be saying. In your opinion when Jesus said, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.’” He was prophesying specifically of the biblical canons. If so which one? The most exhaustive 88 book bible? Or the...

    Actually, no we don't. Please explain.

    As He, the Word of God is referenced throughout the bible I find returning to the historical Word of God, Jesus of history, a good place to return from time to time. This has been evident in my quoting of God's words found in the bible. Of course there are God's words that have been like gold...

    Forsook: The phrase "forsake" means to abandon, desert, or leave entirely. "Never to return" adds the crucial element of finality, indicating that the leaving is permanent. I openly admit that I have never forsaken the Word of God. We are one, He never leaves me and I certainly won't forsake...

    So if it's not Satan's voice communicating with someone, then who is it communicating with them?

    I thought we had moved on from that inaccurate interpretation of what I said and meant. Your accusation when you use the phrase on repeat, 'you forsook the bible' is your words not mine. Just to clarify. Forsook - dictionary meaning: The phrase "forsake" means to abandon, desert, or leave...

    I guess I'd have to ask for clarification. So voices in one's head can be messengers of Satan. And some aren't? Who's voice could the other one be?

    Context: If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the...

    Can you inform us of what YOU mean when you use the term New Covenant. Thanks

    The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from...

    And this too is incredible. That we get to know the Author and Creator on a personal level so that we can in knowing Him, understand His intent. God is LOVE this I know for His Spirit has shown me so.

    Yes, a personal testimony of a personal relationship with God's Spirit. Who we get to know as we live life together throughout each moment of each day. This is incredible. To think that we are perfectly compatible with eachother, His Spirit to our spirit, our spirit in His Spirit. I love...

    I guess, then there is confidence that can be interpreted as arrogance or appear as being puffed up. Maybe sometimes it can be hard to discern the difference. I agree that the fruit or evidence of love can define the tree, the person. Good trees bear good fruit. Praise the Spirit of God Who...
