I seem to be in the same place as them of old Acts 5:28 (KJV) [28] Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. [29] Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. And God in His perfect Word gives further instruction to me: Jude 3 (KJV) [3] Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. So I shall stay and contend for the faith once given... not still giving!

Clearly we disagree on this so you and I should agree to disagree... but I will continue to support The Scriptures and give witness to The Power of God in the written Word: Jude 3 (KJV) [3] Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Romans 10:17 (KJV) [17] So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

God speaks clearly, distinctly, to the very point of all this: 2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV) [15] 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. [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

This Word of God is different then this Word of God... I'm not buying it! If it is God's it is God's... and yes I am familiar with their teaching the logos is the dead letter but the rhema is living word...

the Scriptures are a work of The Holy Spirit and God says they are sufficient 2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV) [15] 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. [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Plainly stated so! So the work of The Holy Spirit (Scripture) is insufficient to save people? John 20:31 (KJV) [31] But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. Correct me if I am wrong but this shows progression to salvation... Starting with Scripture then believing then might have life through His Name... The Scriptures give this witness: Matthew 22:29 (KJV) [29] Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. Romans 1:16 (KJV) [16] For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Calvinist teach you have to be regenerated to believe... is that your belief?

Is self harm morally wrong? Yes for the child of God for the Bible says: 1 Corinthians 6:20 (KJV) [20] For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. So The Fathers Son was what the Father paid for you... do you really have no value? In the lies of this place you don't so might as well off yourself... But in The truth of Scripture your value is immeasurable...

The only reason to remove the fear of death for the unsaved would be Satan, who rules them, wants to keep them...

The world we are in is ruled by: Ephesians 2:2 (KJV) [2] Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: We gave satan this position when we sinned: Romans 6:16 (KJV) [16] Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? God has so perfectly redeemed us (spiritually) but not the world nor the body... some ask why? Two main reasons: A loving Father wishes to train up His children in perfect understanding Romans 6:16 (KJV) [16] Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? We have the distinct choice to live in flesh or s/Spirit. In flesh we have an attachment to this world by our senses and the influence of prince of this air... All this leads to sorrows heaped upon sorrows. Leaving you with your expressed post... In s/Spirit we are made able to reckon this deadness and live for that which God is keeping- His Word and souls of people... if looking out on another person, no matter how vile they are, and do not see Jesus loving them on the cross. You have missed the purpose of our being here: Philippians 1:23 (KJV) [23] For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: [24] Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. [25] And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; Grow in God's Word in understanding and action so that others may see and hear the truth from you... our distinct purpose... we have the awesome pleasure of being living oracles: 1 Peter 4:11 (KJV) [11] If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

I say we stand together in this 1 Corinthians 10:12 (KJV) [12] Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

@FJK , @Vine Abider 1 Corinthians 8:2 (KJV) [2] And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. I believe the pursuit of God through His Word will exist till we exit this place...

He is our righteousness... it is this love bestowed within us that creates the desire to love Him back: John 14:21 (KJV) [21] 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. The amazing grace that this reality produces is humility because everything in the world that we can use in obedience to God is not being kept nor remembered... leaving only the will of obedience to be brought into the New Heaven and New Earth... It will enter into the newness without any concept of sin or even the existence of... The lie had no place with God nor the garment it was accepted in... Revelation 20:11 (KJV) [11] And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Jude 23 (KJV) [23] And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

If your speaking of growth in the knowledge of God through the study of Scripture then yes but anything else I would be wary of!

These verses comes to mind to feed an eternal soul: Psalms 119:160 (KJV) [160] Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. 1 Peter 1:25 (KJV) [25] But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. The more one fills their heart and mind with Scripture-this will strengthen themselves against the loss of love due to the increased wickedness of our time... perhaps you give more time to His Word than when younger... I know I do!

And The Holy Spirit does so by the Word nothing else... as some say I got a word from god today~ if it is not Scripture then it is not a Word from God! God's Word has been sealed and there is no new revelation today...

Romans 1:16 (KJV) [16] For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 1 Peter 1:5 (KJV) [5] Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. from where does this faith come Romans 10:17 (KJV) [17] So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. for God proclaims Scripture is the power of the work of The Holy Spirit Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) [12] For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. As God alone knows the hearts thus His Word reveals the heart... The charismatic circles down play that the written Word of God is work of Holy Spirit... God is speaking of His Scripture here as noted already the source of faith is Scripture! and further witnessed to: 2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV) [15] 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. this is what grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice supplied Timothy for this faith...

We are born spiritual dead... separated from God Spiritually... thus we will sin when accountability comes (by our own choice)

none of this supports what you purport ... What I am hearing the Scripture is insufficient unless the Holy Spirit does something additional to His work of the Scripture... What I read from God is 2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV) [15] 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. [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

The Scripture is a work of the Holy Spirit and it is a sealed canon! The work of the Holy Spirit (Scripture) needs the work of The Holy Spirit? This was spoken to Disciples / Apostles that would have part in the finishing of God's Word (NT) to mankind... this: John 14:26 (KJV) [26] 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. have said not will say God's Word is complete and lacks nothing for work done here: 2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV) [15] 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. [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

It is all written down for every human to read called Scripture... the responsibility was given to every believer in God's Word to go and tell others (all the world)!!! Matthew 28:19 (KJV) [19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. to the end result: 2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV) [15] 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. [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

And I can turn you blue Ok the why I am blue It is because I firmly, with all my being, believe that God's Word is the narrow path to Jesus and the complete instruction set on living for Him -after you have opened you heart to Him! And I will speak this to all people till I am blue in the face... Now you have the whole story...
