Because we learn of Him through the scriptures.

You can meditate on scriptures all you want but if the spirit isn't revealing and discerning them to you...then it's not the truth

old age is getting the better of me, i have to submit the post than edit it to correct all the mistakes, just started typing and found I had 2 words swapped, I think in order but there seems to be a communication gap between my brain and my fingers.

Sorry I didn't know you was in old in age..I do apologise

 

[Jenniferdiana3637]

If someone is going to actively deny the truth, and claim the truth is a lie, I will not back off of that. If they attack the truth I will not back off of that. They will be rebuked.

But you are attacking the truth ..( me) if the spirit is inside me..you are attacking the holy spirit

Yes, unfortunately, even people who preach in pulpits sometimes mistake who the real enemy is, and end up seeing other fellow Christians as their foes who have to be bullied and coerced into bowing to the blasting of Biblical Scriptures they beat them with. Its a failing even the Pharisees also fell victim to.

There is wisdom in you words, sister, but don't expect everyone to turn around.

Indeed, some people who never use words anyone would call cuss words, sometimes say worse things than people who do!

my husband once told me about this man who came up one day while he was working and asked if he’d met his son. Was commenting how his son was a fat lazy no-count living in filth. (Not sure if those were the exact words but close as I remember). The son had heard that his entire life and he had fulfilled his fathers words. Been thinking a lot about the power of the curse in telling others how useless or pathetic or dead weight they are. Can it be denied how powerful and destructive words can be? If Speaking the curse (death) over someone holds that much power to tear down...how much more can God’s words restore and build?

Even so! I could relate some stories about this as well. Some have indeed risen above those curses tearing them down as they seek God, but what of those who have not sought God? Some of them needlessly take on the role that someone has cursed them with... People need to read especially the Book of James with understanding!

This is actually not true. This is like saying you are infallible.

 

[reformed1689]

Maybe you are one of them..I do find it odd you won't leave me alone..how do I know you are not some real enemy in my life plotting against me like the rest do... poisoning my water food and crap

Wow, really?

 

[reformed1689]

Christ is but many deny Him.

This is about one of the only rational things you have said in this thread.

 

[reformed1689]

Yes, we are... but study alone while it may earn you a high grade in school will not bring you closer to God. The dumbest of the dummies according to men, may be those who are closest to God.

Consider Saul before he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. He well educated in the scripture having studied at the feet of Gamaliel yet there he was standing by while they stoned Stephen to death. Later that same Saul/Paul wrote a large portion the NT.

I agree, but remember the argument I am going against a lot here is that we don't need the Bible.

No its the only thing that tickles your ears.

Yes, you dont, those in Christ dont, It is an issue to you??, that people actually believe Jesus, or dont you think our power God is capable of saving anyone without it, It is you and many others who are limiting God. He will do as He please, and will save whom He chooses, how He chooses. Wheter you like it, or believe it or not.

I didn't say this, as I agree with what you posted. But if you don't study them, the Holy Spirit will not reveal them to you. Or me. Or the next person.

 

[SovereignGrace]

Yes I can all I need is Christ, it is the ignorance and pride of man that chase after theology, Jesus never needed it, He is the truth, and Saul who was adept at it knew nothing till His revelation with Christ. Says much for thelology,

And this post of yours proves you do, indeed, need theology.

 

[SovereignGrace]

because we learn of Him by Him if one chooses Him first and above all things. He never limited Himself to any books, men do.

Faith comes from what?

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.[Rom. 10:17]

www.literalword.com[/URL] it uses the NASB/ESV and the NASB uses all caps when it quotes a OT verse in the NT.

To know the Christ, one must read the bible.

 

[mjrhealth]

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.[Rom. 10:17]

and where does hearing come from, people speaking.

Joh 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
Joh 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
Joh 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.

are you not listening.

To know Christ one must know Christ, you may know the bible , but it has no life, in Christ is our life in Him is the truth, still people running away from Him

Joh_5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Joh_5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

People still searching and still not finding life.

oh 6:48 I am that bread of life.
Joh 6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
Joh 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
Joh 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Rev_3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

are you going to let Him in...

Since I've been on this forum I noticed three types of people on here, when someone comes in and speaks the true words of God in a thread, there goes the next one trying to stop the truth from being heard or someone else comes in defending that person because what they said made them agree with that person they defend that person and go against the one who told the truth...you know what some of you people are like.... Matthew 13:19. If we gonna be real here you better speak it wholeheartedly...and not just say stuff just to be right about something..you need to make sure what you speak is with all your heart..if you are not feeling it in your soul..then that means you don't love the truth because there is no truth in you....so you try to block the truth out.....with your deceptions and lies of a delusion.. etc. Please stop..lol you not fooling nobody....truth blockers

Nice to be sincere. But some are sincerely wrong.
