every single reply to this post is bogus. Because everyone is writte from th flesh and not the Spirit
Perhaps, perhaps not. However, ^^^ this one ^^^ definitely is from the flesh.

Generally, I give new people the benefit of the doubt, and forgive awkwardness and keying errors. I tried with you. Sadly, you have made it abundantly clear that we, collectively, are far beneath your degree of spirituality. Therefore I suggest that you excuse yourself from our fellowship, lest you be defiled and corrupted.

i believe in Gods words, but they are not the be all and end all. they are the arrows that point to all creation. The words are a tenth of all the glory and joy that God has created for us.
God has undoubtedly revealed Himself to mankind in creation (Romans 1). But He did not stop there. He revealed Himself even further in the Bible. But He did not stop there either. He further revealed Himself in the Lord Jesus Christ.

CHRIST: GOD'S FINAL REVELATION TO MANKIND (HEBREWS 1)
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

While the written Word of God leads us to the eternal Word of God (Christ) no one should underestimate or undermine the written Word of God since it has a unique power. The Gospel is literally "THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION" (Rom 1:16) but too many Christians fail to recognize this. Peter and James call the Gospel "the incorruptible seed" of the New Birth. And again, too many Christians fail to understand this powerful truth.

Today, too many preachers (and Christians) are failing to use the Word of God as the Sword of the Spirit. They are failing to present the true and full Gospel. They are also failing to teach Bible doctrine directly from Scripture. They are also using corrupted Bibles to further undermine the power of the Word of God.

At the same time Scripture must be interpreted properly under the guidance and teaching of the Holy Spirit. That is called "rightly dividing the Word of Truth". As we can see on Christian forums (as well as in many sermons and commentaries) this is not always the case. Passages are taken out of context to create fantastical doctrines. Passages are also deliberately misinterpreted, misapplied, and even twisted to mean the opposite of what they say. Therefore everything that is presented at any time regarding spiritual matters must be carefully examined in the light of Scripture.

Genesis chapter 3 gives us our first glimpse into how the words of God are corrupted, twisted, misunderstood, and misapplied. Both Eve and the Serpent indulged in this, while Adam simply stood by and did absolutely nothing.

@Iamabeliever I would appreciate it, when you quote, you put your reply outside of what I said.

I am uncertain of how to respond to that.

Galatians 1:12
the gospel i preached was not devised by man, i received it by revelation from Jesus.

John 21:25
Jesus also did many other things, if they were written down, the whole world would not
have room for the books

Endof quotes.

i believe in Gods words, but they are not the be all and end all.
they are the arrows that point to all creation. The words are a tenth of all
the glory and joy that God has created for us. Beyond the words, there are
His revelations. If ee limit ourselves to just words, we are missing te realm
of majesty that He is there to provide us. If we glue ourselves to the word only
we are forever living in the flesh and we are cutting ourselves off of th endless
glory the Holy Spirit has promised us. That is the realm of sweet holiness.

Living only in the word is a life of doubt, arguement, rear and discontent. And most
of all a subjection to the will or the evil one. Folks please put yourselves in the arms of God
It is a beautiful world there
Jesus said in Matthew 4:4 "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

Psalm 119:105 says "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

2 Timothy 3:16-17 says "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, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."

Yes.. if the bible has scripture that tells us how to live completely and joyfully in Christ..

Then what good is living outside that?

I mean of course we do fail at it but.. that is the guide, complete and flawless

Brothers and sisters, This guy is some form of a gnostic. He doesn't venerate the word. He has mocked you for trying to give to him the word. There is no point to continue to engage in conversation and give this person further occasion to be a mocker.
