The Shortest Way To The Truth

The Shortest Way To The Truth

There are two important things about knowing God and the way to the salvation of our souls that we have to consider to keep ourselves away from deceptions, to wit:

1. Neither the bible nor John, Luke, Matthew, Paul, and the rest of the apostles is God.

2. Jesus is Immanuel, who is always beside us all the time. He is in a 24/7 watch mode for us who will come to Him and call on Him for the salvation of our souls.

Why do we have to be so obsessed with biblical accounts that we treat them as if they were the only source of truth about God and the salvation of our souls when Jesus is with us always, though we do not see Him yet? He can surely bring us to the truth if we come to Him and call on Him in the right way. Jesus, real and forever living God, is the only way to the truth about God and our salvation.

It was like attending classes in a classroom where the Lord was the teacher, discussing the subject matter in front of the class.
During your classes with your Jesus, did he ever recall his encounter with the devil and always refer to "what is written" in Matthew 4?
The Lord Jesus empowered us to cast Satan and his demons for more or less 2 weeks. He didn’t point us to the bible but to Himself alone.
The question is, did he ever recall that encounter? Or is he another spirit.
Yes, He did, and that’s the reason why the Lord taught us to call on Him whenever we encounter Satan and his demons. The Lord didn’t teach us to use the bible in driving Satan and his demons away.
If he did recall, why he chose to always say "it is written?"
Do your Jesus mean he was wrong when he relied to what is written?

Neither have you heard anything yet nor witnessed Jesus talking to Satan, have you?

so you are denying you read about Immanuel in a book but you had a supernatural experience with an unseen intelligent being whose voice you heard?

First of all, I do not deny reading the biblical passages about Immanuel, and I believe that Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:21 become absolute when the Lord taught us that He is Immanuel.

Do your Jesus mean he was wrong when he relied to what is written?

I've read the written passage, Jesus' encounter with the devil.
But why you didn't answer the question?

Here again, if he did recall, why he chose to always say "it is written?"
Do your Jesus mean he was wrong when he relied to what is written?

Jesus didn’t chose to always say ‘it’s written’ every time He encountered the devil (Matt 8:28-32; Mark 5:1-13, and Luke 8:26-33).

How did you learn that "the Lord taught us that He is Immanuel"? Did you hear a voice from a spirit or did you READ that the the Lord taught us that He is Immanuel in a book?

We heard through Him through His manifested voice.

Jesus didn’t chose to always say ‘it’s written’ every time He encountered the devil (Matt 8:28-32; Mark 5:1-13, and Luke 8:26-33).
But why in that direct encounter with the devil (the ranking leader Satan), the true Jesus relied to "what is written?"
As you believe that he is the most powerful Almighty God, why not use his power instead of what was written?

Verses you quote, speaks of the demons, followers of the devil (leader Satan) not Satan himself, different scenario.

The Lord needs nothing but Himself, alone, to punish Satan and his devil, but you opined He depended on the written words in the bible instead to deal with the latter. Jesus, in this context, employed self-control in dealing with Satan while He was still in the flesh.
