its just that i see many of us have a love of learning the bible with no interest in knowing god.
When i speak of Sola Scriptura i am speaking about the Word that became flesh - the Lord Jesus Christ, as opposed to worshipping a book.

Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar. proverbs 30

I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
for You have magnified Your word above all Your name. psalm 138

or are you making judgements constantly in your own mind because I try eyes have a good understanding of scripture ?

in the Bible the Lord Jesus teaches us not to do that. We come here to a Christian biblical discussion forum , but it doesn’t give us the understanding of everyone else’s circumstances or life or thier deeds before God alone

one of the things about the gospel is the judgement about what others are doing is taken away from us and given to Jesus Christ alone .

when we come to a discussion forum or a group chat about the Bible online or otherwise the subject matter is going to be about the scriptures

so because someone studies a lot of scripture and has things and thoughts out it and wants to discuss what they are learning and get other thinking or other folks who might have an answer or another set of verses that adds to the understanding ect

if we don’t realize we are here for that purpose we might conclude that the person in thier daily life just sits and reads the Bible and does nothing they are learning but it’s an erroneous judgement unless we are involved in thier daily life to start assuming how they live

I’m this place one could expect a lot of scripture subjects about what’s in the Bible and the understanding that is conveyed into our belief that is what then causes a change in our lives but we don’t sit and pray to the Bible or worship it it’s teaching us about the one true God because the world is filled with other books out false gods other religions witchcraft ect and the knowledge from all sources flow into the world bad ideas and then there’s the Bible the truth about it all

that book holds the correct knowledge that effects changes in us I agree that we don’t sit and read the Bible all our life and ignore what it says to do and. It to do but we have to first hear the truth to know anything

John 3:8 u mean?
not really I’m talking about the chapter that single verse comes from so it means something

“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:5-8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

does that say “ don’t study. The Bible study the wind ?

or is it a sentance coming from what he is actually saying nd using the wind as an example of what he’s saying ?

giving the man a visual representation ?

The Word is Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is God's Spirit and these Three are One = Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

…He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6-10, 21-26‬ ‭KJV‬

that’s what the rest of the New Testament was the spirit teaching disciples about the gospel and what Jesus had taught

it’s written and that’s the power of it to drive Satan away

“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:4, 7, 10-11‬ ‭

there’s a record of scripture in earth as it is written in heaven that’s it’s power it will never part from the written word of God

Awesome - so when we confess/speak/obey the Word, we are declaring/abiding in His will on earth as it is in Heaven.
