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.

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.

No, they are not essential and needed for our salvation and eternal life.

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?
Every one of us is prone to committing sins daily; Paul is no exception.

What 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?

Correct! You don’t need them since they are testimonies for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jehovah’witnesses wrote:Did Almighty God not say what the three true pages of the bible were?
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:Why would you keep the important information of God revealing the only 3 accurate pages in the bible to yourself?
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.

As prior to the verse you quote, verse 16, Paul did baptize the household of Stephanas, did the Bible mentioned apostle Paul sinned by doing so OneJack?

How could the bible accuse Paul of sin when it cannot speak as you can, Mr. Capbook - a penny for your thought. Paul, as well as we all, is always answerable to Jesus, not to the Bible.

The written Bible is inspired by God OneJack, you even quote passages from it.
Again, here shall we know why you quote Bible passages, if you care enough to honestly answer this question?

Do you know the meaning of ‘inspired by God?’

Yes, the word "inspired" with Strong#GH2315, in Greek "θεόπνευστος theopneustos" defined by Bible lexicon as means - divinely inspired.
By the Almighty God the Father Himself OneJack.
