Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God", unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

all means the same thing to me.

Let me show you how to find a fake bible, and some of the fake bibles, are not terrible, but they are not excellent.

I'll post the verse, and you look it up, if you are interested.

1.) A Fake bible, will say....>>"He was manifested in the Flesh".....and a real Bible will say... "GOD was manifested in the Flesh".

2.) A Fake bible will say......"God is Spirit"...........and a real Bible will say.... .. "God is A Spirit".

KJO reader: This is what the Word of God says.
NIV reader: Let's compare the NIV translation.
KJO reader: WHAT! ??? That's a terrible translation!
NIV reader: Are you saying it isn't the "Word of God"?
KJO reader: The NIV left verses out of the Bible!
NIV reader: No, the NIV kept the same verse numbering system
but left out verses that didn't belong there in the first place.
KJO reader: THEY REMOVED VERSES FROM THE BIBLE !!!!
NIV reader: No, that's not what happened.
KJO reader: Yes it is what HAPPENED !!!
NIV reader: Show me one.
KJO reader: Here you go.
NIV reader: My footnote accounts for that.
KJO reader: Accounts for verses removed from the Bible? ???
NIV reader: The footnote says: It does not appear in any New Testament
manuscript prior to the end of the 6th century.
KJO reader: It's NOT the Word of God !!!!
NIV reader: Seriously?

Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God", unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

Do you do that?
How long have you been obsessed with attacking the Bible?

Strictly speaking, the Bible is NOT the "Word of God." The Word of God is not a book, but Somebody, namely, Jesus Christ. The Bibles we have are one of the two main methods of transmission of the Word of God to humans. More accurately, the Bibles we have are TRANSLATIONS of one of the two main methods of transmission of the Word of God to humans. The Bible is not, nor was it ever meant to be, a do-it-yourself kit to Christianity. Nowhere IN the Bible does it even imply this. Jesus never wrote a book to spread His truths. He founded a (ONE) Church in which to do so. This Church was the ONLY Church for the first thousand years of Christianity. This Church WROTE the New Testament from the Oral teachings of Christ that He taught His Apostles and who the Apostles passed down to their successors, the bishops. SOME of what was taught orally was written down and eventually, SOME of what was written down was declared by Christ's Church to be worthy of being called Scripture. Without the authority of the Church, you end up with literally tens of thousands of man-made, doctrinally contradicting denominations, all based on someone's personal interpretation of Scripure, which Scripture condemns. 2 Peter 1:20 says, "Know this first, that there is no prophesy of Scripture which is a matter of personal interpretation."

Think TRUTH

The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.
We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Verily v erily i say unto thee
that many have a problem with things written in that holy book .
And thus they do sit under men who twist and omit things .
They will make big speeches about this or that just to downplay the importance of knowing the scrips .
Now who would want us IGNORANT of the TRUTH so as he can guide us through the flesh and emotoins .
IF YA SAID satan you would be correct . And if you had said many pride filled folks
who loved and honored the god of thier mirror , YOU would be correct .
THERE is only ONE true reason why folks would have ever even attempted to down play
such GLORIOUS GOD INSPRIRED words . AND that is they love another god who feeds them
the desires of their own hearts . NOT THE GOD WHO CAN ACTUALLY have saved them . And that wont bode well
for them ON THE DAY of ALL MIGHTY GOD and of the LAMB .
For a man who has a problem with WHAT GOD has said , with HIS WORDS
Has a problem WITH THE GOD WHO INSPIRED THEM WORDS . they call THAT GOD A LIAR and their men the true ones .

Interesting perspective. Everyone, without exception, has a backstory that explains what they believe, how they behave, etc.
True.
I grew up as a Protestant. We were encouraged to rightly divide the word of truth.
Our responsibility to sort it out.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.

i understand your points but there is a lot of miscalculations that are contrary to Truth.

Example: You say: "Jesus never wrote a book to spread His truths."

This is a Monumental error and should be put to the test of TRUTH

JESUS quoted Scripture and declared the written words of God as the only Truth that can overcome sin and satan.

Compare your statement to the words of God = Psalm 40:7 and Hebrews 10:

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of Me,

Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the Scroll/Entirety


Dear Augustin56 - your statement is completely contrary to God's words of Truth - can you see this?
