it is written that it is written[Jn.20:31] so that we may simply simply believe and continue to simply simply believe since Jesus said it is simply simply very difficult if not impossible for adults to simply simply believe - so any idea/comments how He solved this dilemma for Christians - wincam

This is a serious question but on the other hand you don't seems very serious!

Every authors has their reasons to write their book. John wrote it that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God.

indeed this is a very serious question, though it may appear not to be so - here is the original and really really good news and imho the Christian passport and password to heaven provided by Jesus - Christians have the passport and know the password but are not aware they know it and should hold it fast and let no one or nothing cause them to let it go - even Bishop John only realised this after he died and was glad and rejoiced and gave thanks and praise - lets realise whilst still alive and rejoice and be glad and give our thanks and praise now - more later - wincam

I believe that the scripts that make up the bible was not by accident, but are the inspired words of God. They were formulated into the bible to give instructions, to those who are born again of the Spirit, on how they are to live their lives while they are here in this world. They tell us how that we were saved eternally and who saved us, which was God, through his Son, and not by any help from man. They tell us how that we can be delivered (saved) many times as we journey through this world. Most of God's children do not understand that most of the salvation scriptures are referring to deliverances we receive in our walk here on earth, and apply them all to eternal salvation. Unless we divide the salvation scriptures, there will always be seemingly contradicting scriptures, and all scripture must harmonize before you can understand the truth. I know that I haven't given any scripture quotes to my thoughts, but if you want them, I can give them.

yes, the book is written in code. (the words i speak are spirit, and they are life)

the keys are held by some(the church(es) leaders and lawyers and phd theologians and that ilk) who will not enter in to the kingdom, ever. they won't enter in, and they do all that they can to prevent little ones who are seeking the kingdom from finding it.

For whatsoever things were Written Aforetime were Written for our Learning, that we through Patience and Comfort of the Scriptures might have Hope. Romans INdeed!--------------------> Notice the Words Penned by the Holy Ghost were written so that those who are Called.. thru Patience and Learning can find and Rest in the Comfort AND HOPE of the Scriptures.. this so evidently manifested in the 'times of testing'.. after ye are illuminated on the Promise of God for you life.. you are tested.. You LEAN AND TAKE COMFORT in that PROMISE .. which He has placed in your heart thru the Word of God. which was Sown on Good Ground.. that Promise.. Tested.. and in these times of testing.. LEANING AND having Hope on those Scriptures as He allows circumstances, tribulation, pressure, even the devil himself to come at you to try to thwart or overturn or 'trump' the Promise of God He has shown you.. Ye need STAND.. in those times.. He will carry you thru.. and even if at times you dont believe.. He STILL believes and carries it thru for you.. because He cannot deny Himself.. yet 'He believeth and is Faithful'.. to what He has promised... the Scriptures are there for your learning and comfort in times of tribulation and pressure and testing.. thru His Patience He will teach you to be Patient.. and in the process show you how Much He Loves you.. indeed! He calls you to Stand.. and Watch the Salvation of God!

IF ye are Walking in Him. then the ONLY DISTRACTION.. that ye will see is the 'darkness coming at you posing as 'light'... that becomes ILLUMINATED when Ye Walk in the Light as He is in the Light... lots of OTHER light on here persay.. that is not of the True Light... oh my.. is it loaded.. but not be surprised.. because of the 'sowing of the seeds -tares'.. and the swiftness by which they are sown.. lolz..

To answer why the Bible was written you must first ask what does the Bible do. When you can answer this then you will know why it was written.

imho we are required to simply simply believe and be baptised as a Christian according to scripture but as we are seeing according to some/most posts clearly confirms what Jesus tells us via the scriptures that to simply simply beieve is simply simply very difficult if not impossible for adults - wincam

Jeff is not a troll.

He doesn't agree with some people here.
so.....because of this, he has this slight problem with summing up the entire state of Christianity, on just 10 people's views.
......it makes him a bit angry.



oh, you meant the OP?
Sorry.

you should not and would not require an answer from me if you realise that the bible itself gives the answer viz that everything that is written is written so that ye simply simply believe and simply simply believing that Jesus is Christ our Saviour and the son of God and simply simply believing this we will have life in His name[Jn.20:31] - wincam

I am not questioning why the Bible was written. If we understand what the Bible is then we understand why it was written. What do you believe the Bible to be?
