I find that hard to believe, the gentiles made up at least 95% of world population from stone age until Paul. I think they
helped the world a bit with invention of wheel, bronze, iron, written language, building civilization, trade etc...
Back to point at hand:
I would agree that many people today claim to hear from God or have a "word from the Lord" and that we are to check
scripture to test if what they say if true.
However, those who wrote scripture also claimed to hear from God, how do we check to know what they said was true?
Something to think about
2
We use the Bible as the test.
1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1 John 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
1 John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
SO from these test verses we learn
1. Worldly spirits talk of the world, Godly spirits talk about Jesus salvation and coming to JEsus
2. If they listen to your corrections of their errors from the Bible they have a true spirit, although they may just be ignorant
not knowing all the truth yet
3. If they ignore the Bible, they are of the wrong spirit.
4. Finally, if they tell you a dream of vision or statement that goes against the Bible, the WHOLE THING is from false spirit
We are from God or from the enemy you cannot be from both
Most false prophets dont realize what spirit they are of so dont beat them up
just tell them the enemy is talking through you, you need to come be born again brother, read your Bible!
you have been a false prophet many times, everyone falls some time or other
After you go to Jesus and repent and say sorry, he forgives so
get right back up pray and go on in the true spirit of the Word of God and go on as if nothing happened.

"ME" is God, Jesus christ the father.
If we have a question we pray to the father, please send us the holy spirit
so he told me to look it up
here it is
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
1380. dokeo, dok-eh'-o; a prol. form of a prim. verb doko, dok'-o (used only as an alt. in certain tenses: comp. the base of G1166) of the same mean.; to think; by impl. to seem (truthfully or uncertainly):--be accounted, (of own) please (-ure), be of reputation, seem (good), suppose, think, trow.
so a more clear way to say it than the pagan monks (who loved God but were all mixed up in their own religion since the Bible was hid from them, said would be
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye are accounted to have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
or
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye trow. to have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye seem have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
I would take accounted as clearest
but lets not stop there.
2 Pet 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
AH now it becomes clear
yo can twist the scriptures and not get eternal life out of them!
so take all the scriptures and compare them with other version and take all the meanings and put them together
and you will know more than your teachers because you teacher is the word of God

Ah this is it
I like the aramaic English new testament
Search the scriptures, for in them you think, you have that life that is eternal,
Which now the holy spirit brings to mind this verse!
Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
ok now this is from the holy spirit
because a computer did not find it
this verse stuck in my head out of nowhere and it brings two bible verses together
and putting them together we see now what it means
in him (God) we think we move, we walk, we have our being.
so search the scriptures because in HIM (GOD ALMIGHTY) we think
thats it
and notice all those other words are right
you see in the concordance there are five degfinition!
and those definitions ALL of them areright
that is why to word is infinite
all five are right
so taking
we THINK we have eternal life is ALSO RIGHT for those that twist the scripture!
if you dont twist scripture than this is right
IN HIM WE THINK
get it?
Bible study is wonderful
thank you for that light!

So here is another point
get a good bible like the word
(click on this line below)
Bible Software theWord!
its free
install it
look up a verse
use the king james with the word numbers
hover over the numbers
see all the definitions
now get ready for this
ALL the definitions are correct!
this is not true with mens books or mens writings
it is true with the living word of God
the verse can be applied many ways
that is why you loose som much sticking with the version the pagan monks chose because they chose one word out of five or six that most closely represent pagan mythology when the other ones are more clear somethimes
have FUN with your new LIVING BOOK!

WOW, I guess I answered this thread pretty clearly
You can see God talks to me
because he told me to
1. look up the text
2. check the meanings
3. brought verse to my mind
4. the verse fit!
out of tens of thousands of Bible verses that could have come to mind ONE unrelated verse with none of the same words came to mind that ansered the question
so you can see in real time he does talk to me
you go pick a random verse and a million times it makes no sense
but when God brings them to mind they answer the question...
yes he talks to each of us WHEN YOU BIBLE STUDY
so, its up to you.

He wants EVERY CHILD to have this continuous experience.
I am nothing
do not listen to me
listen to my Bible verses
and I will listen to yours and God will lead us all with his spirit.
ah here comes another
watch this.
this verse just popped up in my head
Psa 119:49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
Psa 119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened (given me life) me.
Psa 119:51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.
Psa 119:52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
Ok they can mock God but I have living experience since he answers any question to me
so I know but tthey still dont believe
notice the first verse
REMEMBER thy word to thy servant
it means
2142. zakar, zaw-kar'; a prim. root; prop. to mark (so as to be recognized), i.e. to remember; by impl. to mention; also (as denom. from H2145) to be male:-- X burn [incense], X earnestly, be male, (make) mention (of), be mindful, recount, record (-er), remember, make to be remembered, bring (call, come, keep, put) to (in) remembrance, X still, think on, X well.
this is a prayer!
psalm 119 are all prayers!
pray them and they WILL be answered
to remember the word to your servant means to have GOD bring the RIGHT VERSE TO MY MIND
but
you have to have something to remember
so it is important to thoughtfully read the Bible from cover to cover
after that, any verse will start popping up
because GOD IS THERE

O
Is God the bible? What you have presented so far are bible verses of the different versions of the bible and your interpretation of same and, as one brother here is asking on how can we get to know if what was written in the scriptures is true or not, you do say that we can use the bible itself. How is that when you yourself were not there as one among the witnesses during those days that the Lord Jesus Christ dwelt in the fullness of His Godhood to the man who was born out the womb of Mary? If the bible can truly be used to check which one is true or not in the bible, then there will be only one flock today and not too many religious groups and denominations with different tailored doctrines about salvation and about God
But if we all who read the bible will come to the Lord Jesus who is just beside us all and ask Him to teach us in these things, we will be able to distance ourselves away from false doctrines and teachings of men who use the bible in luring people to join them into their own group or denomination.

The Holy Spirit is within me and speaks to me. Jesus covers me with His love and God has saved me by his grace alone. I also believe The Bible is the word of God. Placing me in a rare place on this thread. I believe God speaks to me through The Holy Spirit and His word in The Bible... And can do anything that is His will.
What I said there was asking 2thewaters if I understood his point that's all
OneJack what you said there is so beautiful I know Christ is the Living Word of God!

God bless and much love,
