I've never read in the bibles that the Bible contains 100% of all" needed until then, until the times are fulfilled

Is this merely the teaching of man? Or was this a truth straight from the mouth of God, beyond the bible?
But you live outside the Bible. Remember?

Quoting YOU: "Life with God OUTSIDE the Bible is great."

The bible contains 100% of all man needs to know to have a saving right relationship with God. Anything else we need will be shown in eternity and not now
Why not now? Who said 'not now'?

What you seem to be saying here is like a wealthy businessman who at 40 prepares a will. And from that point on decides not to discuss his estate with his children except to say that anything else they need to know will be revealed at the end of his life.

My Father is not like that. He is revealing more and more of Himself beyond what is in the bibles. He has been including His children in His affairs all the way along.

But you're living outside the Bible. You said so. You're still listening to demons trying to lead you to Hell Fire.

1 Timothy 4:1-2
1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons , 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,

Maybe Christians can pull you out of the Fire! Maybe.

Is ALL truth found in ALL scripture my friend? Or just some



Obviously Jesus couldn't say Truth is all in the bible, as it hasn't been compiled and made into the various closed canons we have today.

Likewise, not ALL scripture was all truth as Paul's writings had not been written at that stage.

How do you know if what someone speaks, believes or practices is truth? What library in the world contains all truth? What website?

Without access to ALL truth then when new information becomes available that doesn't contradict what's already available how can you determine if it's God's words or not?

Context…

Yes…
ALL Scripture IS (by God) Approved Truth.

No…
ALL of (Gods Truths) ARE NOT contained Within Scripture.

Little by little Gods Truths have been Revealed to manKIND.

What has NOT YET been Revealed, are Secrets that Belong to God.

According to Gods Pleasure / Timing, ALL Secrets Not disclosed to manKIND, Shall be Revealed.


Deut. 29:
[29] The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Luke 8:
[17] For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.



Glory to God,
Taken

Additional books and additions found in the Catholic Bible
These are the seven books not found in Protestant Bibles. Some traditions also include additional sections of Esther and Daniel:

  • Tobit (stand-alone)
  • Judith (stand-alone)
  • Wisdom of Solomon (stand-alone)
  • Ecclesiasticus, also called Wisdom of Sirach (stand-alone)
  • Baruch (stand-alone)
  • 1-2 Maccabees (stand-alone)
  • Additions to Esther
  • Additions to Daniel
Thanks for your detailed list.

It's baffling to think that of all the writings that were available, humans decided on only 66 - 80 books to form their bibles.

What do you mean? Can you give us an example

Already gave examples and Scriptural verification.

If God said it, it’s True.
If God taught it, it’s True.
If God approved it, it’s True.
If God Promised it, it’s True.

If Jesus said it, it’s True.
If Jesus taught it, it’s True.

If man has not YET SEEN The Lord Gods Truth come to pass, it is Still True, and Shall Become Manifested.

Glory to God,

Gotta say this is very true my friend .
So then why am i seeing so many connecting themselves into , yes here it comes yet again , the ecumenical interfaith .
And believing things like oh surely if one beleives not JESUS IS the Christ
they wont perish , they wont be damned . HEY dont judge there are good people in all religoins .
WHY THE HECK would we connect WITH THIS and be pa rtakers of this interfaith of ANTI CHRIST .
CAUSE GOD SURE DID SAY DO NOT be unequally yoked together with UNBELIEVERS .
But i suppose many JUST DONT BELIEVE HIM . SO lets do us an exodus OUT TA such places
and an enet rodus back into THE BIBLE . CAUSE IF GOD SAID IT , YOUR RIGHT IT IS TRUE .
AND HIMS has LOTS OF HOLY WORDS in that bible . Hav e a wonderful day my friend and my friends .

That's not entirely biblical.

The Bible--God--highlights things sealed that were to be revealed just before the end, which "finish" "the mystery of God."

It is only true that "the Bible contains 100% of all" needed until then, until the times are fulfilled.
I think you are over emphasizing what teh mystery of God is. It in its biblical context refers to the judgments God reigns down on the earth.

And that is how cults are born! Because some acorn who fell off the tree claims "new revelation" from god that asdds to, subtracts from or supercedes SCripture! They all will find out how deceived they were at the great white throne judgment seat, before being tossed in to teh lake.

Any new revelation that even implies Scripture needs "reinterpreting" needs to be rejected and fought against with all the spiritual might a believer possesses.

There is no need to speculate. God Himself defined just what the emphasis of "the mystery of God" is, referring to it as "the finish...as He declared to His servants the prophets." Not as "judgements God reigns down on the earth", but the "finish" of His Word by revelation..."that there should be delay no longer."

Does anyone know what percentage of 'All Scripture' is contained in their bible?

2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
In 2 Timothy 3:15, Paul referred to Scripture that Timothy had available to him since childhood, which could only be referring to OT Scripture because none of the books of the NT had been written at the time of his childhood. Everything that Paul said OT Scripture is profitable for is in regard to our code of conduct and the code of conduct in OT Scripture is the Mosaic Law, so that is what Paul was primarily referring to.

IF one has the true and pure desire that cometh of GOD
they had loved TRUTH .
Now go and let us learn THIS . cause folks are always trying to find ways around
TRUTH , when said TRUTH does say something they did not desire to hear , for it e xposed their sin and their e rror .
SO . Pilate once asked , WHAT IS TRUTH .
Something most all of this church age may as well b e asking . cause many darn sure dont seem to know
or love TRUTH .
This is a very friendly reminder to us all . EXAMINE what it is your heart t ruly l oves and desires to hear and to beleive .
AND WHEN or IF IT CONTRADICTS THE TRUTH , PRAY to GOD for a new heart with new desires . cause somthing is dead wrong
The Hebrew word “yada” refers to intimate knowledge gained by experience, such as with Genesis 4:1 where Adam knew (yada) Eve, she conceived, and gave birth to Cain. God’s way is the way to know (yada) Him and Jesus by experiencing being in His likeness through embodying His character traits, which is the narrow way to eternal life (John 17:3). For example, in Genesis 18:19, God knew (yada) Abraham that he would teach his children and those of His household to walk in His way by being doers of righteousness and justice that the Lord might bring to him all that He has promised. In Exodus 33:13, Moses wanted God to be gracious to him by teaching him to walk in His way that he and Israel might know (yada) Him, and in Matthew 7:23, Jesus said that he would tell those who are workers of lawlessness to depart from him because he never knew them, so the goal of the law is to graciously teach us how to know (yada) God and Jesus, which is His gift of eternal life.

To know God is to know truth. An arrow flies true when it hits its mark, our mark is to walk in God’s way, and God’s law is truth (Psalms 119:142) because it was given to teach us how to walk in God’s way (1 Kings 2:1-3). The Spirit has the role of leading us in truth (John 16:13) and of leading us to obey God’s law (Ezekiel 36:26-26) because God’s character traits are the fruits of the Spirit. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact likeness of His character (Hebrews 1:3), which he embodied through his works by setting a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to God’s law, so he is the way, the truth, and the life, and the way to know the Father (John 14:6-11).

Agreed. Anything else is ex-tra biblical. Not God breathed. All the scripture that matters is ALL of it. Unless someone wants to black out ones they do not want to believe, which is so human like, sadly. It's all or nothing when it comes to the scriptures...JMHO and experience. If not then, our faith would be baseless; again, JMHO tsml

A mosque, a church a synagogue. The Abrahamic Family House. Started building in Abu Dubai in 2019 and opened in 2023. So I would say it is Jews, Christians and Islam. One big happy family that "all serve the same God. We do have the same God with the Jews but not with the Muslims.
Here's a 22 minute video that tells it better than I...you'll get the gist.
