God is the Scriptures

[newton3003]

2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” The Scriptures are God’s words, inasmuch as reading them is the same as hearing the words from God himself. All the prophets, the disciples of Jesus, and all the other righteous whose words proclaim God’s Glory, convey and are a function of the Word of God.

And within the context of the Scriptures, the Word of God was always with us, as John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Those that truly proclaim the Word of God are doing so on the basis of what is found in the Scriptures. And the Scriptures are such that one who wishes to proclaim God’s Word must be familiar with all of it, since the scriptures convey one message regarding God.

Those who proclaim the Word of God through the Scriptures, as there is no other final authority, are responsible for ensuring that what they say is a function of the Scriptures in its entirety. And those who proclaim the Word of God must be doing so for the sake of God and not for their own sake or gain, to the extent that the two may be in conflict.

The Scriptures teach us to test what others tell us, to see if they are reflecting the Scriptures and not words of the Scriptures they have taken out of context or have made up themselves. Deuteronomy 4:2 says, “You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I command you.” 2 John 1:10-11 says, “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting…” Anyone that does not reflect the Scriptures in its entirety, or distorts the words, is putting other gods before him since if you are not following the one true God, then you are following other gods. In that sense, you might be considering yourself as a god, favoring yourself over the Almighty. And to be sure, Exodus 20:3 says “You shall have no other gods before me.”

We must be discerning, then, when someone comes to us and says, ‘This is the will of God,’ or ‘This is what God wants,’ or ‘God has judged you to be evil, so repent for your sins!’ Are they really reflecting what is in the Scriptures, or have they set themselves up to be a false messenger of the Word of God, wrongfully inducing the congregants to do things or to give, and those things end up not for God’s sake but for the sake of the speaker or for someone else. We must also be aware of those who tell us not what we must do, but actually tell us what to do toward righteousness while they themselves are consciously committing the very sins mentioned in the Scriptures that they tell us we shouldn’t commit. Such people, who claim to act in God’s name, are not followers of God and should not be seen as such.

And those who claim to act on behalf of God, who do nothing when those they are supervising over, who also claim to act on behalf of God but in fact perform despicable acts involving others who may not know any better and who have been induced to putting their faith in those they perceive to be acting on behalf of God, will have lost the authority given to them by God as they are found out by those who have put their unconditional faith and trust in God through Jesus.

Psalm 1:1-2 says, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His Law he meditates day and night.” So we have the Scriptures.

I am afraid you are streching it out too much.

 

[Noose]

Jesus (Who is the word) would differ with you; look at what He told those who thought they needed Him not because they had scriptures:

John 5:39You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words thattestify about Me, 40yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

Scriptures are by inspired men.

 

[LightLoveHope]

I agree with the principles of scripture.

As humans we deal with ideas on at a time, and often do not balance them out
well. The whole of scripture lays out 2 thousand years of history and thousands
of peoples lives and their interaction with the Lord.

This is so vast none of us can fully comprehend, or see it, but we can get glimpses,
insights, revelation. It is here that God meets us.

People have literally walked to their deaths with totally the wrong notions, because
they lacked insight and the Lord, so it is a dangerous walk, and the stakes are very
high. But our guide is Gods word and the Holy Spirit speaking it to us.

We can never have enough of Gods word to dwell on and feed our hearts, but few
seem to understand the life of God dwells in His word. It does though need the
ability to have an open heart, to be honest, to be purified and made whole through
the cross, and to walk humbly in the ways of Jesus. It seems few actually manage
this level of faith and walk, so often things go very wrong as people desire more of
experiences than of the Lord.

Take the charismatic movement where spiritual experiences matter more than the
word, purity and holiness, and you can end up reading omens, using cards to predict
the future and travelling to the third heaven for real wisdom, which is just spiritualism.

 

[MattG]

2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”

2 Timothy 3: 16 every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,17 that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed. This is the Youngs Literal Translation of the 2 Timothy 3:16-17.


I just want it to be known if you use the context of the chapter, you can see that Timothy was taught the old testament scriptures as a young child, and this is what is being refereed too, not saying you can not apply it to the new testament.

I apply it to the old testament myself, personally the new testament is completely different, than that of the Law that once was.

Psalm 1:1-2 says, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His Law he meditates day and night.” So we have the Scriptures.

Amen Newton., We as believers must have the Holy Spirit to teach us the Bible personally. When we were born again., we became a new creation in Christ. We now have the Holy Spirit in us too. Now we have the ability to walk in the truth. And the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth. That is also His ministry to us. Each one of us individually has the Holy Spirit.

So yes., there are people who are not walking in the truth. Some out of ignorance and some out of malice will lead others to unbiblical places that they never should go. So the Bible tells us to study the Scriptures and be a workman that need not be ashamed rightly dividing the Word of truth in the power of the Holy Spirit who wrote it.

Each of us has a responsibility to do this but to also to be aware that there are those who have not learned to walk as mature believers in and by the spirit. There are many who may have been saved for a lot of years and are Pastoring churches and are not teaching properly either. Some may not even be Christians. We need the Holy Spirit working in our inner man to tell the difference.

Religion is a big business., there are thousands of different religions in the world. Human nature is prideful and man made religion teaches us to want to "work" for God to GAIN approval by our own goodness. They don't teach that Jesus is the ONLY way to have God's approval.

Many of us Christians have done this too and came out of it. We have learned that Jesus is the only way to God. And once we have Christ., God is well pleased with us. It is God that works in us now to work and to will of His good pleasure. That can only be done in the spirit.
Phil.2:13
[SUP]13 [/SUP][Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while [SUP][d][/SUP]effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and [SUP][e][/SUP]delight.



[SUP]12 [/SUP]Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, [SUP][c][/SUP]with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ).

Without being born again and walking by that born again spirit., we won't walk in the power and strength of God, but in our weak and beggarly flesh.

Your thread title says something different than your post says. The thread title is theologically incorrect. Perhaps you carefully chose the words to get attention, perhaps not. If it was done intentionally, that is click-baiting and is a form of manipulation. If it was unintentional, you really should proofread before posting.

You raise an interesting point.
Wording a title on a thread, to get attention, is this a bad thing?
Surely provoking discussion is healthy and a reason we are here to explore ideas.

Or should all titles go before a panel to be approved of, lol ?
And manipulation? This is getting heavy, over 4 words .....

Romans 9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

Scripture is equated to God. Nothing written down as Scripture, but God speaking.

Scripture is not God as your post #9 is not you.

You deny Romans 9? Scripture and God are equated as one? The two cannot be separated.

 

[Dino246]

The heavens and the earth were created by... which?

Moses at the burning bush met... which?

Elijah's offering on Mount Carmel was vapourized by... which?

Samuel, Saul, David, Solomon, and Jeremiah were called by... which?

Isaiah saw on the throne... which?

God is represented accurately by the Scripture. God is not the Scripture. Your error is shown clearly by reversing the equation:

If "God is the Scriptures"
Then "The Scriptures are God".

It doesn't work. Fallacy refuted.

I do not like this type of conversation, but...:

"His [Paul´s] letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures"
2Pt 3:16

You must simply understand what you read and not to take it so robotically. Language, grammar etc needs some kind of understanding, not just literally taking whatever it seems to sound like.

As Peter was not satan, as Peter was not rock, as God is not lion or eagle or lamb literally, so also it was not Scripture talking to Pharaoh literally, but Moses.

Without being born again and walking by that born again spirit., we won't walk in the power and strength of God, but in our weak and beggarly flesh.

If they does not have the Holy Spirit it is because they do not believe in Jesus and are not Christians.

John 7:3 “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.”

Galatians 3:12-14, 4:4-7 “But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.”13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith........

4:4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.”

Ephesians 1:13-14 “In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.”

All Christians have the Holy Spirit, none believers do not because if you do not have the Holy Spirit you are not a Christian and there are no elite Christians that have some special anointing of the Holy Spirit that other Christians do not have so that they have some special knowledge or great truth than other believers and those that do not have this truth will not stay with us because they were never part of us and by them leaving it made that manifest so all would know that they were never of us.

I John 2:18-21 “Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.”

All Christians have the Holy Spirit, they all know the truth and when they heard it they believed it and were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit and because they know the truth they will never leave the Chiristian faith, because they know all things.

It doesn't work. Fallacy refuted.

Both, both, both, etc...

If God showed up and said nothing, how would any of them know what to do? His word represents Himself.

Refuted because you're opinion says so, but Scripture says otherwise. I'll go with Scripture over your opinion. When I go with Scripture, I'm going with God.

You apparently haven't thought that through very carefully. God's words did not vapourize Elijah's offering. Isaiah did not see God's words on the throne. What was glorified in the Holy of Holies... the scriptures? What was crucified... the scriptures? What was resurrected... the scriptures?

Your belief, as with any scientific hypothesis, is undone by a single exception, and in this case, there are many.

True, God's words represent Him, but they are not Him. What you are claiming is absolute equivalence on the level of "one-being-ness" with absolutely no distinction.

 

[joaniemarie]

If they does not have the Holy Spirit it is because they do not believe in Jesus and are not Christians.

John 7:3 “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.”

I John 2:18-21 “Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.”

All Christians have the Holy Spirit, they all know the truth and when they heard it they believed it and were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit and because they know the truth they will never leave the Chiristian faith, because they know all things.

All born again Christians have the Holy Spirit. We are new creations in Christ. Sealed by the Holy Spirit who will never leave us. But not all will walk in the spirit. Many Christians are walking according to the flesh and the Bible talks about how the Christian is to walk and that it IS A CHOICE each one of us must make while we walk here on earth.

Gal. 5:16-26
[SUP]16 [/SUP]But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God).
[SUP]
17 [/SUP]For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the [Holy] Spirit, and the [desires of the] Spirit are opposed to the flesh (godless human nature); for these are antagonistic to each other [continually withstanding and in conflict with each other], so that you are not free but are prevented from doing what you desire to do.
[SUP]
18 [/SUP]But if you are guided (led) by the [Holy] Spirit, you are not subject to the Law.
[SUP]
19 [/SUP]Now the doings (practices) of the flesh are clear (obvious): they are immorality, impurity, indecency,
[SUP]
20 [/SUP]Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies),
[SUP]
21 [/SUP]Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
[SUP]
22 [/SUP]But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness,
[SUP]
23 [/SUP]Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [[SUP][a][/SUP]that can bring a charge].
[SUP]
24 [/SUP]And those who belong to Christ Jesus (the Messiah) have crucified the flesh (the godless human nature) with its passions and appetites and desires.
[SUP]
25 [/SUP]If we live by the [Holy] Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. [If by the Holy Spirit [SUP][b][/SUP]we have our life in God, let us go forward [SUP][c][/SUP]walking in line, our conduct controlled by the Spirit.]
[SUP]
26 [/SUP]Let us not become vainglorious and self-conceited, competitive and challenging and provoking and irritating to one another, envying and being jealous of one another.

[Gabriel2020]

Yea, but some people cannot still figure out how the word became flesh. There are many words spoken, but this one word means his voice. One word, one voice.

 

[Shamah]

Mat 7:15-20, “But beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are savage wolves. By their fruits you shall know them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles? So every good tree yields good fruit, but a rotten tree yields wicked fruit. A good tree is unable to yield wicked fruit, and a rotten tree to yield good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, by their fruits you shall know them.”


Ezekiel 36:26-28, "A new heart, will I also give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments, and do them. And you will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you will be My people, and I will be your Father."


1 John 2:4, "The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

Wiuth that said none are perfect but we will know them by their fruits, IF we juge righteously as Yahshua did:

John 5:30, “Of Myself I am unable to do any matter. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own desire, but the desire of the Father who sent Me."


John 7:24, “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”​

​

Those of YHWH will have a doctrine that matches His rather than be so stubborn as to hold on to false doctrine, man made doctrine, etc.

John 6:35

Yahshua said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.

Psalm 119:41-42, “And let Your loving-commitments come to me, O יהוה; Your salvation, according to Your word, So that I answer my reprover, For I have trusted in Your word.”
