"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." - 2 Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV

Welcome. Just wondering what you mean by your title. Can you explain in greater detail?
I don't know the day of judgement but I heard this word today and am moved to share it with someone.
"Tell them that the time is up to choose their eternity. I've been patiently waiting and watching the ways of this world and I am not impressed by all the divisions amongst my body, the false teachings, the blasphemies, the hidden hatreds toward one another, the lying, the cheating, the stealing ( from My holy temple ), to what end? Will you ever be filled with these empty holes? Come back to me and I will satisfy all your needs. I Am the rock that fills the whole of the earth. There is no other! Repent and seek me with all your heart and I will give you your hearts true desire. A place beside me forever! "
I was told to share this with God's people. May not be today but soon.

jeremiah 8:8 is the scripture which lets all know that scriptures are tainted by the pens of immoral scribes.
Do you believe that God would ever abandon innocent souls? God absolutely never does.
All humans are brothers and sisters, no matter race or literacy.
Do you believe that one is unable to love God before having read or heard scriptures?
I am proof that man is able to love God prior to exposure to scriptures. I have loved God my entire life despite never having been a member of any church, and yet I am twice baptized by the holy spirit. I first received the holy spirit before I was baptized by immersion in water. I love God by never ignoring my conscience. Whenever it says don't do this, I don't do it. Conscience is a holy voice within all pure hearts.
All truth comes directly from God, if you want to hear God then listen to truth. If your heart is not able to discern truth, repent our father's kingdom is at hand.
The title is a declaration. Take a long look at current circumstances of this world. The period which God let evil reign over every man is fast coming to its end. The eternal kingdom is now being born. Despite the fact that almost everyone will soon perish through nuclear war, this foretold event is a necessary catharsis for humanity. All evil will finally be eradicated.
Do you think one is even able to be pessimistic or delusional when one speaks from a pure heart? Remember only God makes a heart pure.
You are prescribing this when this verse is only a description of what was happening in Jeremiah's day as to why Jeremiah brought the warning of God's judgement. This is not prescribed to the Inspired Holy Infallible Word of God the Bible.
It is according to what do you mean by innocent? A law abiding citizen who doesn't have Jesus? Then yes God will cast them in Hell just as much as a man like Hitler.
We do have a common ancestor in Adam and Eve.
The only way to the Father is through the Son. In Christ alone are we saved. We are not like the OT saints but our Messiah has already come.
But there is but only one baptism
I will agree this is often the case.
Sure conscience has its purpose but we love God by loving His Son. A perfect love would require perfect obedience to your conscience. Which is the bar to be in the presence of God. Holy perfection. Without Jesus our works are filthy in comparison.
Yes I agree. But again what is truth? The answer being the Bible, the written Word. That is what we compare all thoughts, visions, dreams, prophecy, etc against. All outside revelation must either match the Bible or compliment it but never to take away or add.
I think only Jesus has a pure heart. That's why it is so important that Christ lives in us.
As far as the end being near, you are just one of many making such a claim.
I am interested in how you came to faith. Can you share that?
Greetings, @I_am_what_I_am. Welcome to CC.
Romans 10:17 tells us, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God."
God gave His Word to the prophets and apostles, and they wrote it all down—the Bible is God speaking to us, letting us in on His plans for mankind and so much more. By reading and studying His Word, we come to know Him; we come to love Him. Why? because He first loved us!

I love it when people make it easy to know whether I should put them on ignore or not. 
Also wish there was
or facepalm reaction icon, lol!

or facepalm reaction icon, lol!I was born with faith, which is God's gift of morality and its conscience. That mustard seed turned into the tree only through never forsaking God's voice from within, conscience. The few times in my life that it warned me don't do this, I stopped.
The question you probably are more curious about is "How did the Holy Spirit enter your heart?"
In the early 1990s I was almost addicted to born again online chatrooms. A stranger had given me a red letter NIV bible. That bible would open for me. At the time I was working very long days which left little time for reading. I started by reading JOB. Then over a span of serveral months, I casually read and reread (not in any specific order) the red letter sections, which turned out to be the four gospels. During that time I would visit chatrooms and speak from my heart. It began apparent that the words from my heart were in accordance with the gospels but contradicting scripture postings from the other books of the new testament.
One Tuesday during that time a stranger had sent me an testimonial email. Basically he testified that he used to be Catholic, then became Christian, and then proclaimed to me that he was now an atheist. He said that after reading the scripture with Peter pointing out to Jesus that the tree which Jesus cursed yesterday is now dead and withered, he could not be a member of any religion that curses and kills an innocent tree. Without even thinking I immediately responded: "May God have mercy on your soul."
I then immediately went to the bathroom (my then reading room) with my bible. It opened to the heading, TEACHINGS FOR TUESDAY.
I thought: "cool its Tuesday" so that's where I read. It turned out to be the exact scripture from the atheist's testimonial. When I read Jesus' response, "Have faith in God" That is the exact moment the Holy Spirit entered my heart.
Approximately five years later, one of my long time customers told me that he noticed a change in me and asked me for my bible. At that time I already owned over a dozen different bibles in several translations. When I tried to give him one of those he said: No, I want that one. He wanted the bible that was opening for me, the one I was reading when I received the Holy Spirit and I didn't want to give it to him. But, then I shook my head and thought what am I doing, the bible is not my idol. I said here take this, God bless you, and gave him my favorite bible. That's the first time that the Holy Spirit's presence in my heart grew even stronger.
I couldn't get past your first statement. No one is born with faith. Ephesians 2:1-3 and Romans 3:10 and following reveal your initial estate. Further, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
I truly hope you will consider prayerfully what I have shared. What you believe may seem correct to you but...there is a way that seems right to a man but its end is destruction.
The Bible has no actual contradictions.
The Apostle Peter wrote that the authors of Scripture (and it's safe to assume he included himself here) were "carried along by the Holy Spirit". The Spirit, being God, does not contradict Himself, ever.

How can one teach anything about that which he does not know
You have chosen your teachers and repeat their empty teachings
No one can serve two masters, the bible is an idol of all who turn toward it instead of listening within
if one's soul is immoral, one questions what is truth.
This is the crossroad where you chose your final destiny
no one condemned you, did you not choose freely
