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.

No. Would the "words the Lord uttered that He commanded to be written" be written words? Yes or No.
Incomplete phrase! The phrase would be, 'be the written words the Lord uttered that He commanded to be written.'

Not all in the bible is true, Capbook. I only accept those that are true and set aside those that are not true.
I read your "I," do that mean you decide and not your Lord, which God breathed verses are believable and not OneJack?
You got the wrong train to Georgia, Capbook!
Do you deny what I bolded and colored blue above OneJack?
The "I only accept," doesn't mean from your Lord, it is clear that you only decide.
Why dodged the question OneJack?
I believe because we've heard and learned those things from the Lord.
Did your Lord deny this verse or only you?

1Th 4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 

A very significant Bible passage, if we believe Jesus died and rose again, God will bring us with Him, where? I believe to eternal life OneJack?

That is not the complete phrase. Why have you written an incomplete phrase? Please answer the question .... to clarify

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.

You quote " the 'words the Lord uttered that He commanded to be written' is INCOMPLETE.

Please answer the question, why is your quotation INCOMPLETE?

The question should be: Did the Lord command the words [He uttered that He commanded to be written] be written?

The answer is YES! But like the original copies of the writings of different authors in different books of the bible, the same is nowhere to be found.

So although God commanded his words to be written for mankind and they were indeed written but ...he failed to ensure the written words were made available for mankind as originally intended. Correct ?

By blaming God through your narrative [So although God commanded his words to be written for humankind and they were indeed written for humankind, he failed to make the written words available for humankind as originally intended], it clearly shows that you've really heard and learned nothing yet from the Lord God, but just your own opinion based on your understanding of biblical passages.

Do you know that whenever God makes utterances and revelations, the same are always accompanied by a condition and trials, so God can see the utmost trust in Him from the people He has commissioned and continues to commission or sent out?

I'm sure that's true. Now my QUESTION for you is the following

Since your "Jesus" said explicity that God's words were written for mankind (3 pages) but those three pages of written words haven't reached mankind because (by your own words) they are currently "nowhere to be found" would that not mean that what he intended was not accomplished?
