The Purpose of the Bible

[Bob Estey]

My question feels real lonely up there . What should church leadership do in that case .
By the way you can ask me any question you like . I dont see questions as an attack at all , nor should you .

Which question are you referring to?

 

[Bob Estey]

My question to you is , why would we ever seperate the book from the GOD who inspired it .
Just cause many bad seeds can say the bible is the word of GOD , and i do too , dont mean i am anything like them .
I have an idea , if you want to know who follows GOD , start asking some questions instead of doing what you are doing .
I know the KKK is of satan and they too can make the claim the bible is the word of GOD
so do many false ones , BUT DO THEY FOLLOW JESUS .
Now stay glued in the bible .

It isn't about separating God from the Bible. It's about making sure the Bible doesn't become a substitute for the Lord.

 

[Bob Estey]

Exactly . WHY try and seperate GOD from HIS words . It cant be done .
If we follow a god who contradicts the pattern JESUS and the apostels set , guess what god we follow .........
Satan and his men .

But don't substitute the Bible for God.

It isn't about separating God from the Bible. It's about making sure the Bible doesn't become a substitute for the Lord.

There is no such thing . GOD inspired it , stay GLUED TO IT .
Just cause nimrods can make simliar claims about that bible as i do , DONT MEAN they actually FOLLOW THE GOD OF IT
the CHRIST OF IT . That is how you will know WHO IS WHO .
In the meantime , STAY GLUED IN THE BIBLE .

 

[amigo de christo]

But don't substitute the Bible for God.

Again there is no such thing . Lots of folks say the bible is the word of GOD , WHICH IT IS , yet they dont
HEED CHRIST . SO , they false . the BOOK ITSELF IS GOD ORDAINED , the WORDS are lovely .
TEST the FRUITS of the people and stay glued in the BIBLE .

He who loves not RIGHTEOUNESS nor his brother is not of GOD . WE would LOVE the words in that bible .
Again , stop looking at the examples of the bad seeds . now pick that bible up and get DUG IN DEEP . LOVE GOD
and here is the PROOF that we love GOD , WE LOVE TRUTH and thus we would love our neighbor as ourself as well . . WE LOVE HIS WORDS . Now stay glued in the bible .

There is no such thing . GOD inspired it , stay GLUED TO IT .

God might have inspired it, but it wasn't meant to be a substitute for him.

 

[amigo de christo]

I would think unchastity would mean any sort of sexual immorality.

Thank you for answering that . Now would you mind answering the other question about the two married gay men .

 

[Bob Estey]

HEED CHRIST . SO , they false . the BOOK ITSELF IS GOD ORDAINED , the WORDS are lovely .

Yes, there is such a thing. Here it is (again):

[39] You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me;
[40] yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. John 5:39-40 RSV

 

[amigo de christo]

God might have inspired it, but it wasn't meant to be a substitute for him.

IF we love GOD we love What HE inspired . NO MAN HAS SEEN GOD . YOU HAVE NOT , I HAVE NOT
but if we dont love the truth in that bible , THEN WE DONT LOVE HIM . JESUS SUMMED IT ALL UP .
so my best advice is learn Him well and learn what the apostels taught . NONE of them contradicted CHRIST . LEARN IT and LOVE IT ALL .
Cause you have NOT SEEN GOD , I HAVE NOT SEEN GOD . Anyone can say they love GOD , but DO THEY ....................exactly .

Is it this mans job to judge the whole world of unbelievers?

 

[amigo de christo]

Yes, there is such a thing. Here it is (again):

[39] You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me;
[40] yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. John 5:39-40 RSV

That is the false seeds . AND by the way they did not LOVE IT , IF they had truly loved the GOD inspired truth
THEN WHY DID THEY REJECT JESUS . IF they truly followed MOSES , though they claimed too , WHY DID THEY REJECT CHRIST .
Cause they do what most do , they PICK and chose what to follow . May that put the fear of GOD INTO MANY SOULS
cause i see they aint alone . YOU PICK and choose . THEY also taught , but DID NOT . HYPROCRISY .
NOW once again , GET DUG IN that BIBLE .

 

[amigo de christo]

Sorry sis but that wont do nor work . He needs to answer . By the way you all can ask me anything .
I have nothing to hide . I have no secrete agenda . What i say
to one i say to all .

 

[Bob Estey]

IF we love GOD we love What HE inspired . NO MAN HAS SEEN GOD . YOU HAVE NOT , I HAVE NOT
but if we dont love the truth in that bible , THEN WE DONT LOVE HIM . JESUS SUMMED IT ALL UP .

Cause you have NOT SEEN GOD , I HAVE NOT SEEN GOD . Anyone can say they love GOD , but DO THEY ....................exactly .

But you can't love what he inspired as much as you love him.

 

[Bob Estey]

That is the false seeds . AND by the way they did not LOVE IT , IF they had truly loved the GOD inspired truth
THEN WHY DID THEY REJECT JESUS . IF they truly followed MOSES , though they claimed too , WHY DID THEY REJECT CHRIST .

NOW once again , GET DUG IN that BIBLE .

But that illustrates how people can "fall in love with" the Bible, while having no relationship with the Lord.

 

[amigo de christo]

But you can't love what he inspired as much as you love him.

There is no such thing . You are way overthinking this entire thing .

 

[Bob Estey]

There is no such thing . You are way overthinking this entire thing .

No, I am not. I want to make sure you are not substiting the Bible for God, as in John 5:39-40.

 

[amigo de christo]

But that illustrates how people can "fall in love with" the Bible, while having no relationship with the Lord.

They are not falling in love with the bible , only the parts that suits them and they PICK and CHOOSE .
Just like someone else i know . Now love and embrace all things that JESUS and the apostles taught . Let us not Pick and choose
or we are no better off than the pharisees who did so .

They "search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life." Is that what you are doing?

I have no idea how you think Bible study is a replacement for God. It is through the Bible that we learn about Him. Jesus was well versed in it. Why don't you do what He did? Are you checking what this being is telling you against what the Bible says?
Isaiah 8:20 "20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

I also have no idea how you think 2 Tim 3:16 is a self fulfilling prophecy.

Folk here should just let you go, and do your own stuff.
