We only have one Holy Bible (the living, all powerful, eternal Word of God).
There are many bibles today. Hundreds.
And there is only One Gospel message.
What do you mean by your words, 'One Gospel message'?
Yes there are many who serve their father (the Devil) and twist the Word of God to create a false narrative and deceive those who have itching ears.
Absolutely, otherwise Satan and his angels would not be doing their job.
Thank God, His children cannot be deceived, because we are not led by wicked spirits but we are led by Gods Holy Spirit. God said, it's impossible to deceive His children, we are immune from the Devils poisonous false gospel.
That's your words, but Jesus did say.....
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And
a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
You have never heard Christ speak, and if you think you have then it was a Demon posing as Christ, because He said "I go away and you see Me no more until I return. Be careful, don't trust every spirit.
No, just Jesus's Holy Spirit. He said He would not leave us as orphans but would send us the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth.
God does not speak directly to any man, He has said everything He wanted to say to us.
When did God tell you this private message? Please tell us more.
Didn't God speak directly to Adam, Moses, Abraham, those at Jesus's baptism?
Doesn't God speak to young men in visions and old men in dreams. And to the church through prophets who prophesy, others who speak in tongues/interpretation.
Personally I love hearing God's expressed thoughts in my spirit, that is, God's words that don't find their origin in the scriptures. I am open to the Spirit to remind me of what He spoke through people in history, especially Jesus when He was here in human form.
Every Word is recorded in the Holy Bible. You agree that we can't digest everything He has said, in one lifetime, but then on the other hand you claim that it's not enough and you need Him to speak to you personally everyday.
Where my family are originally from they lived on a remote island for generations where they ate root vegetables and whatever they could get from the ocean around them.
An opportunity came for my parents to leave the island and go to a different country where they were introduced to rice, chicken, peaches, snow and many other new things.
They returned to their remote village and introduced them to some of the new foods they experienced. Many of those in the village rejected these foreign foods, some even thought we were trying to poison them.
The limited diet of these people in the village was obviously beneficial and profitable to keep them living as human beings generation after generation.
But was it the ONLY food available on the planet that was profitable to keep humans alive generation after generation?
Of course not. God has provided a broad range of beautiful nutritious life giving foods.
So it is with spiritual food. There is no limit to God's truths, God's words, for every word that proceeds from God's mouth are endless flowing from His lips. If only we have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to Christ's body.
I don't need the Word of God in human form, I don't need to hear Jesus with my ears, I don't need to see Him with my eyes and I don't need to touch Him.
That's fine for you, just as it was fine for my grandparents and their ancestors who lived on a limited diet.
Stick with the scriptures my friend. But please don't condemn or even prevent us who receive God's words of life from beyond the scriptures.
The sad reality is, that seeing Him in person makes no difference and there is no advantage to be had by those who did. If anything, seeing and hearing Him was a added curse for the unbelievers, because they incurred more damnation upon themselves for rejecting Him.
Sure. But for those who did receive Jesus in human form were so blessed as they saw the actual miracles Jesus performed. They heard so much more of what Jesus taught that couldn't be recorded. That would've been fantastic.
The Lord said, "blessed is he who has not seen Me and yet believes Me".
And even better, "blessed is he who has seen Me and believes Me".
Grace and faith are gifts from God, nobody is born with grace and faith. Salvation is only by "grace, through faith", both of these are gifts from God. Nobody can produce these two, they are received as gifts from God and He only gives these gifts to His children.
Amen!
He never gives them to the Devils children.
Not until they are judged, do some time for their crime and repent. Then these too will be saved, redeemed, reconciled to their Creator!
Jesus told the reprobate Pharisees, "you are of your father the Devil".
Even the Pharisees will repent in eternity along with their father the Devil. This is brilliant news! I get excited with the hope of seeing this event play out.
