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.

I believe that part.
Now, this reveal that your purpose of quoting Bible passages because you believe what it said.
It appear that not just only for Bible discourse but because Bible passages are believable, quoted as it has some weight of authority OneJack?
If not, why believe and quote.
I believe because the Lord confirmed the truth to us about those verses.
How about the other "God breathed" verses OneJack?
'God breathed' means allowed by God to be written, what's the big deal, Capbook?

The big deal is, as God breathed and allowed by God to be written, you just defined the Scriptures OneJack, the thing written.
As you accept it as God breathed but deny what it said. Sound contradicting to me. Proving it is from God but denying what it said.

Not all in the bible is true, Capbook. I only accept those that are true and set aside those that are not true.

The "I only accept," doesn't mean from your Lord, it is clear that you only decide.
Why dodged the question OneJack?

My exact QUESTION for you OneJack is

If the Lord's words are commaned to be written would that make them "the written words" of the Lord? (please answer Yes or No)
The premise: The words the Lord uttered that He commanded to be written to serve as scripture or humanity are done in such a way that they know that there truly is a God who exists forever.

My answer to your question: Since the 'words the Lord uttered that He commanded to be written' were commanded to be written by Him, that would make the 'words the Lord uttered that He commanded to be written' the written 'words the Lord uttered that He commanded to be written.' Would that suffice now, JW?

No. Would the "words the Lord uttered that He commanded to be written" be written words? Yes or No.
