So if i read you right Loco you are saying God does NOT have all the Truth?
IF there are Truths outside of the Scriptures that were written by the Holy Spirit, then this means God is not all knowing and not all powerful!
So you Loco believe God is NOT God?
This is the Major problem with people today, they want a god who conforms to what they want their god to be.
Scripture tells us that the circumference divided by the ratio is 3 (1Kings 7: 23-26); which is an accurate number given significant figures of one, two or three. However, a more precise measurement of pi would yield 3.14.... and it would go on indefinite as pi is an irrational number.
It would be as irrational to claim the Bible contains all truth as to claim pi is not irrational.
Does the Bible contain instruction on how to sign on to this website?
My name is Jesus, and I am the firstborn of Joseph and Mary; but I am not the Christ. I was born on Cuban soil the year Fidel Castro came to power. The Holy Spirit put a simian crease on my left palm before birth as a reminder to me that I was brought to faith by a mentally retarded teenager later on (1974). All of those statements are true, and all were predetermined by the Holy Spirit and the rest of the Trinity before the foundations of timespace were laid, but none is in the Bible.
To claim that all truth is in Scripture is not only absurd, is is contra-Scripture: John 21:[SUP]
25 [/SUP]And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not contain the books that *would be written.
If I do not believe God is God then neither does Paul nee Saul as he wrote in the first chapter to the Romans: [SUP]
18 [/SUP]For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth [SUP]

19 [/SUP]because that which is known about God is evident [SUP]
[m][/SUP]within them; for God made it evident to them. [SUP]
20 [/SUP]For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. [SUP]
21 [/SUP]For even though they knew God, they did not [SUP]
[n][/SUP]honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
So you see, even those who have not the Scriptures know of God as the Truth of His being is revealed to them from both nature and their conscience, leaving all without excuse.
Now I am going to speak as a foolish man and boast to make the point clear. I spent 2.5 years studying a single verse of the Bible, Titus 1:12, to gain a slight understanding of how those without the Scriptures have a witness from God. Have you spent time to that extent in the Scriptures? I still have 2 exhaustive concordances, greek dictionaries, lexicons and all manner of paraphernalia from the days before software like Logos and e-Sword which I now use to chase down the Hebrew and Greek when I study Scripture. Do you have such study habits? I could go on and on, but the point is simple: I bow before Scripture, I fully subscribe to the Chicago statement of Biblical Inerrancy, my belief in sola Scriptura is as that of the reformers.
Do not confuse me for a liberal, and I will not confuse you for an ....
