One is very foolish to say ."I don't need to read the scriptures" Chatter23 You must have a false view of thinking that the Bible is full of human errors. And we have to decerfer what is the real truth in God's ,Half true,?, book. I would hate to live that way. I think there are a few,very few, errors in the Bible, but no doctrine of the Bible is in danger because of Human error. We can be absolutely assured that God has His word absolutely secure "IN HEAVEN", word Perfect. Love to all, Hoffco

Anyone who knows God would see it is not true. God is not an indian giver. Not the God I know.
 
James 1:26,27 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Those who know Jesus have religion.
 
II Tim 3:14-17 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 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 perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Scripture was given for a number of reasons. Can you find four?

Four reasons? I can give you a million of them, One, bearing what life comes upon us, Overcoming sin, leading us away from temptation, Helping us to be watchful of the tricks of satan. And having compassion on those who don't understand the need to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit to teach us scripture from the inside.
Enough or should I go on?

You know? Most Christians are very angry, they have yet to overcome their resentments and angers with all of their bible study, they miss the mark.
Figure that out if you can.

Chatter God is 100% in control of HIS CHURCH... ALL THE PERFECT PEOPLE ON THIS WORLD.... And the ones He is busy to make perfect.... they were chosen even before the earth was made, so God will Complete them, and also be 100% in control...

Look how in control God is with His people..... Eph 4...One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Do you see He is above in and through ALL HIS PEOPLE.... For me it is like they float in a BUBBLE surrounded and filled with GOD HIMSELF.... WOW!!!

Here is another.... 2 Peter 1... For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

I just know EVERY breath was the Hoyl Ghost, every WORD was the Holy Ghost and Every move was the Hoyl Ghost... Every moment of their lives was the HOLY GHOST IN CONTROL, Just like today with the HOLY MEN OF GOD.... GOD IS IN CONTROL in every one that HE gave HIS HOLY GHOST TOO....
 
[h=3]Isaiah 46:9-10[/h]King James Version (KJV)

9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Enough. Scripture is sufficient to reprove, and correct!

All Christians struggle between an old, corrupt nature that can not please God that is passing away and the new, regenerated nature that can not sin.
Many who cite scripture have spent less time in bible study than you might imagine. Since scripture is breathed by God, it is sufficient.
