The Shortest Way To The Truth

Post #1

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.

As I will not put mine own words over the written words inspired by God.
And if the "divinely inspired" not sufficient to you, would you make and insert finite fallible mind understanding over the infallible word of the infinite Almighty God?
But I am interested to know your opinion what "divinely inspired" means OneJack?
The Lord Jesus taught us that 'God-breathed,' 'inspired by God,' 'divinely inspired,' and the like simply means 'allowed by God to be written,' no more, no less.
I believe you mean as being "written" with Strong#G1124, in Greek "γραφή graphē" Bible lexicon defined it ass means - Scriptures.
Can you agree with the Credentialed Lexicographer OneJack?
Nothing there are mine.

I only follow/agree with no one but the Lord alone.
As you quote Bible passages OneJack, do you agree or dis1agree with what you quote?
There’s no need for me to do that since I quoted them for Bible discourse alone.

JehovahsWitness wrote: Thu Mar 26, 2026 2:24 am okay, so my question for you is:

Can you isolate the words in the text tell us WHAT is commanded to be "for humanity"? ie What is being referred to ?
Let me help you with an example

My mom told me to give my brother an apple
Example question : In this sentence WHAT was to be given to "my brother"?
Example Answer: "an apple".


In this text tell us WHAT is commanded to be "for humanity"? (ie What is being referred to ?)
‘Kaalaman,’ per se. …… [na may Dios]
now only answer from the text (meaning choose a word or a group of words that appears in the text - see the example for help)

Try again... Here is the TEXT (choose a word (or words) that are the object (the "WHAT") that was "for humanity".

‘Malaman’

Note: The object [the what] for humanity should be a noun in form. If I choose from the text, the word ‘malaman’ is the choice, but it is a verb in form. To make it a noun, ‘kaalaman’ is the right word.

Why do you force me to choose from the text where the answer to your question now can’t be found? What do we do to the bible today, by the way?

All answers can be found with God OneJack, nothing is impossible for the Almighty. Why stick to the words he said ? Because the words of Almighty God are more important than your opinion, your opinion won't save anyone. If God has communicated something "for humankind" we'd better look closely at what he said in detail. Why should looking at the words of your own "Jesus" be a problem?

So.... my QUESTION is : By what means would that "knowing" (knowledge) be communicated to "humankind" ? Again stick to the text and choose a word (words).

All answers can be found with God OneJack,
Absolutely! No doubt, all answers can be found only in God!
nothing is impossible for the Almighty.
Well said!
Why stick to the words he said ?
What have you heard from God, so far?
Because the words of Almighty God are more important than your opinion,
God alone is the one who matters most; you don't need anything from the utterances of the Lord, except for its purpose to impart to you/me/them knowledge that there is God so that you/I/they can always come to God for your/our/their salvation and eternal life.
your opinion won't save anyone.
Indeed, it won't; hence, the Lord Jesus is all we need if we want to be saved.

If God has communicated something "for humankind" we'd better look closely at what he said in detail.
I disagree with your opinion in this regard because the best thing to do, in this case, is to come and call upon the Lord Jesus and ask the truth you want to ferret out from Him.
Why should looking at the words of your own "Jesus" be a problem?
I have no problem with this matter; you are the one who has a problem right now because the answer you opine in this issue doesn't jibe with the one that I'm giving you.
So.... my QUESTION is : By what means would that "knowing" (knowledge) be communicated to "humankind" ? Again stick to the text and choose a word (words).

Here is the TEXT

What means.. - ikalat sa lahat ang ipinasulat ng Panginoon.
