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.

To my knowledge quoting from the words of Jesus are not against the rules of this forum, please go ahead and say what your spirit said about the bible, unless it includes vulgarity, encouragement to inflict violence on children or some such notion there can certainly be nothing that would violate the forum rules in the word of a pure a living God.
You too can ask the Lord Jesus in this regard; we don’t have the monopoly on the Lord for any revelations He may impart to the whole world, which is purely His own judgment call.

I did; he said "read your bible".

Now I'm asking you to report if there is an update on the above. There is no reason to fear your comment will be sanctioned by the forum if it doesn't violate the guidelines. You are of course, free to say it is "secret knowledge" not meant to be shared, but that would mean that you have nothing to say as to the authority of the bible canon. The last reported revealed statements from Jesus are in the gospels and he upheld the divine authority of the written word, if you are sworn to silence on the subject (unable or unwilling to provide any updated information on the matter) then we have but to continue in the word until further notice.

Its seems reasonable then (until further divine revelation that CAN be revealed) to reject anything that contradicts the gospel records including the idea that the scriptures are not essential for everlasting life.

MATTHEW 19:16, 17

Now look! someone came up to him and said: “Teacher, what good must I do to gain everlasting life?”+ 17 He said to him: “... If, though, you want to enter into life, observe the commandments continually.”+

Good for you. Was there anything else that God said to you?
Jehovah’witnesses wrote:Now I'm asking you to report if there is an update on the above.
There is none.
Jehovah’witnesses wrote:There is no reason to fear your comment will be sanctioned by the forum if it doesn't violate the guidelines.
How would you accept the truth if you knew that the supposed scriptures [allowed by God] were only written in three pages compared to the voluminous pages of the bible today?
Jehovah’witnesses wrote:You are of course, free to say it is "secret knowledge" not meant to be shared, but that would mean that you have nothing to say as to the authority of the bible canon.
What authority of the bible canon are you referring to? All I know is that the bible is a book of testimonies to the reality of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jehovah’witnesses wrote:The last reported revealed statements from Jesus are in the gospels and he upheld the divine authority of the written word,
Which part of the scriptures can we read that from? Divine authority resides only in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord does not stop in communicating with people, across all generations, and His last revealed utterances are in the hands of those to whom He has spoken, not in the pages of the bible as you opined.
Jehovah’witnessed wrote:if you are sworn to silence on the subject (unable or unwilling to provide any updated information on the matter) then we have but to continue in the word until further notice.
That is your personal judgment call, not mine.
Jehovah’witnesses wrote:Its seems reasonable then (until further divine revelation that CAN be revealed) to reject anything that contradicts the gospel records including the idea that the scriptures are not essential for everlasting life.
The Lord Jesus alone is all we need to be saved and to have everlasting life.

Hit the pot at the end of the rainbow to get the gold. Why hit the pot in the middle of the rainbow where the pot contents are only brass and nickel? The gold is in verse 21, the final words of the Lord Jesus Christ, to wit:

COME, FOLLOW ME.

Salvation is ONLY by COMING to and FOLLOWING the Lord JESUS CHRIST until the end.

So is that what your spirit "Jesus" told you? If so, can you provide the direct quote that identifies the 3 pages authorized by God and clarifies that the rest are either not of divine origin or were of divine origin but have since been corrupted?

Try to think carefully about the spoils that there would be when the pages of the supposed-to-be scriptures turned to three (3) pages against the voluminous pages of the bible today.

Your comments seem like you are trying to act as a Priest or a Pastor, I don't need your words, your words you are not Almighty God , I asked a simple question, did your spirit "Jesus" identify the the 3 pages in the bible that are authorized by God and clarify that the rest are either not of divine origin or were of divine origin but have since been corrupted? (Direct quote to answer this specific question)

Thanks,


JW

That’s all I can say, and if you can’t clearly visualize what you’re looking for in my narrative, I rest my case. Anyway, Jesus is open to all who will come to Him for the truth. Just ignore everything I have said and get the facts and the truth from the real and forever living Christ Jesus.

TRANSLATION ->
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.

Don't explain like a Pastor or a Priest just quote what "the spirit" said about the bible.
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.
OneJack, you skipped again my Post#148. Why?

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.
Paul was not sent to baptize, that’s what he said.
Can you cite a verse, or you believe apostle Paul disobeyed and sinned?
