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.

The above makes no mention of scripture
You said they [the rest of the bible] quote "are not essential and needed for our salvation and eternal life." are they YOUR words or God's words. Your words are not God, we don't worship your words, your words do not save. If they are God's words, show me the exact words that state that the rest of the bible is not "not essential and needed for our salvation"
The conditions set forth by the Lord to be saved and to have eternal life are the following:
1. If you want to be saved, come and draw near to Me.
2. If you want eternal life, come and call upon Me.
3. Trust in Me, because if you don't, you will have no salvation and no eternal life.
Use your wisdom to see what you want me to spoon-feed you in this regard.
See my answers above. If I give you the exact words of the Lord regarding the Bible, in this context, I’ll be thrown out of the court instantly by the authorities concerned.Jehovah’witnesses wrote:Please show me the exact words that stated that the rest of the bible is "not essential and needed for our salvation"
Don't explain like a Pastor or a Priest just quote what "the spirit" said about the bible.
You state, "Paul knew that, hence, he didn’t baptize in his ministry."
But apostle Paul had baptized the household of Stephanas, would you accept that you missed to read 1Cor 1:16?
1Co 1:16 Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

Post #172What you say is not Almighty God, what you say are just words.
Did Almighty God not say what the three true pages of the bible were? Why would you keep the important information of God revealing the only 3 accurate pages in the bible to yourself?

Post #173Correct! You don’t need them since they are testimonies for the Lord Jesus Christ.JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2026 12:03 pmWhat you say is not Almighty God, what you say are just words.
Specifically, no, He didn’t say what the three pages were all about; what He specified is all about himself as the Almighty God.Jehovah’witnesses wrote:Did Almighty God not say what the three true pages of the bible were?
It’s only your opinion that says what you accuse me of keeping important information, which, in fact and in truth, is not exactly the way you think it is in totality.Jehovah’witnesses wrote:Why would you keep the important information of God revealing the only 3 accurate pages in the bible to yourself?
