Split: Ghosts and Aliens... The Bible & God's Revelation

[JDavis]

So then it is totally possible that Jesus himself told these men to abandon their wives and marry other women....even though such a thing would contradict the written Word of God?

What I know is that Jesus is real and alive and He is not selfish to tell the truth to those who truly seek Him. We have learned from the Lord that a man should only take one woman for his wife unto death and in that regard, I doubt those men's claim that Jesus told them to abandon their wives and marry other women. Since the bible is not the Lord God, it doesn't follow always that what is contradictory to the bible is contradictory to God, too.

Thank you for your responses. where did we learn this matter of marriage from our Lord if not from the Bible?

If you do not mind, one last question

What is the Bible in your view?

If not from the Bible, how does Jesus pass on the truth to us?

How does this work with such truths as 2+2=4?

 

 

Jesus himself, as in the days of the old and the new, comes down to those people today who come to and call on in Him truly and teach them the truth they need so that those people who truly seek Him may know from the Lord the way to their salvation and the knowledge about God.

 

 

So are you saying Sanh that there is revelation of God beyond Scripture?

God bless,

The bible is a book of testimony to the Lord Jesus Christ, but it is not meant for doctrines and teachings about Jesus.

Absolutely and definitely, there is and it is truly beyond the bible and you yourself can discover same from the Lord God himself should you come to Him in His own ways.

Thank you, this is a bit different view than many hold, as I am sure you know.

You stated we know from the Lord a man is to marry only one woman. how do you know this is accurate and not the views of others if the Bible is not to be used for such things?

The Lord proved Himself to us that He is the Almighty Lord God when He responded to our call and plea in Him. He did something that made us believed and continue to believe He is the Lord God and indeed it really happened not only once or twice but more than those instances. Since the Lord God has proved himself to us that HE is the Lord God, we are confident that we hit the genuine treasure in heaven that many people are longing for in their lives. God is the truth and therefore anything that comes directly from God is genuine, accurate, and the truth.

The Bible is a book of testimony to Jesus Christ. I agree

The Bible is not meant for doctrines and teachings about Jesus... This seems contradictory? Please explain.

I'm not sure what you mean. I know the Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, Redeemer, King, Friend, and Lord. I thank God for His grace in saving me many years ago. I'm a great sinner yet Jesus is a Greater Savior. Are you saying I'm unsaved?

 

What truths beyond the Bible are you referring to?

 

God has revealed Himself to humanity through the inspired Word of God - the Bible. Do you not believe God inspired the Bible?

[Sanh]

The Lord Jesus told us that the bible was given to us by God (Him) for only one purpose and that is to let us all mankind know that there is really God with and to whom all of us can come to at any time. He further said that the bible is not meant to be the source of doctrines or teachings about men's salvation nor is the bible to be the basis of teachings in knowing God. Since its purpose is to let people know that there is God, the people in return have to come to and call on to God so that the Lord God in return may respond to them in and through His own ways of living. It is at this point when God responds to their call that knowledge about the truth and about God will come to them but all of these responses of God are in and through His own ways and terms and most of all, God's responses are always coupled with trials so that the Lord God can gauge the faith that those who come to Him will be able to accord to the Lord God.

 The Bible is how God speaks to us today.  The Bible is God's inspired and inerrant word to mankind.  The Holy Spirit leads and guides us through the Bible.  There is no additional revelation from God outside of the Bible.  The Bible isn't God, but God is the author of it and He magnifies His Word above His own name.

 

If a person claims to receive information from God that is not in the Bible, we have no way testing if it came from God or not.  The Bible is the means of testing what is true or not true when it comes to people trying to teach on spiritual matters.  We test them against the doctrines  contained in Scripture.  If a person claims to have received information from God that is contradictory to the Bible, that information is wrong and did not come from God.
