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

[ayin jade]

 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.

 

 

So true.

"The Bible",Sahn.is the God inspired Word written down by men....not simply their account as we are told in the Scriptures themseves....so on the contrary it is not JUST SIMPLY a testimony to the Lord Jesus Christ,so firstly I think it is very important that we believe this to be true and accurate.We are instructed by GOD that faith comes from hearing,hearing the Word of God......the Bible IS the Living Word of God which was made manifest in the personage of Jesus Christ our Savior(Who is the Word)...In Jesus own Words to us He says He did not come to destroy the scriptures,laws,doctrines,commandments or any Word given to the prophets but to fulfill them.....so knowing the written Word of God is crucial.

   When seeking the Truth,God tells us He WILL reveal Himself to us in His Word.....I think is is very important, secondly,that when having a revelation personally given(you or anyone?)by Jesus Christ that the person pray for discernmant as we are warned that even Lucifer disguises himself as an angel of light ......Jesus left with us the Holy Spirit to bring remembrance to us(remembrance of what?)of the Word!!Any Word given us by either a ministering angel of God,Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit must be confirmed by what is written....and established by two or three witnesses.Even when one has a divine encounter it is always confirmed,God will send you to either someone or send someone to you that will help in determining validity.

    I'm really very unsure of what the "Ghost & Alien" question is but let me encourage you to pray,ask for discernment  and to read the Word of God......praying you be blessed by God and lead and directed by the Wisdom and understanding that can only come from the Holy Spirit,I pray these things in the Name of our Lord and Savior,Christ Jesus

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.

 

 

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 Lord contradicts your words with His.

 

2 Timothy 3

16 All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

17 that the man of God may be perfected, thoroughly furnished to every good work.

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.

 

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?

 

 

As in the days of the apostles, so are the days today with Jesus the Lord God, nothing is new under the sun and only His means in talking/communicating to the people differ but He Himself, unseen, is still the one involved in guiding and teaching His sons/families/friends/followers/disciples today in our time. Did you come to know Jesus that way?

 

One truth that the bible doesn't have and that was hidden to mankind for quite a long, long time is the fact that Jesus taught his disciples that no one within the church of the Lord is allowed to act as men pastor simply because the Lord is the only Good Shepherd/Pastor/Teacher in His Church. Also, the Lord God did not actually say to Adam and Eve that they will surely die by the time they eat the fruit that He forbids them to eat. The Lord told us that what He said to the two is that they will be clothed with sins by the time they eat that fruit. Another one is about marriage where the bible has the record that the two will become one flesh but in reality, the Lord told us that what He said to Adam and Eve is that He will give them one flesh and it is about the offspring that will be the result of that marriage, not that the husband and the wife will become one flesh. These are only some of the hidden truths that is beyond the limits and bounds of the bible today.

 

I do believe God inspired the original scriptures but God warns us that the bible is not the Lord God.

Do you then view Paul's and Peter's writings to be in violation of rule and thus we should disregard all their writings?

Please be informed that the bible in the first place is not the Lord God nor is Paul and his letter the Lord God, too, how do you now say the Lord contradicts my words, do you know the Lord truly? If so, how do you know Him?

So in your view what the Lord says comes down to personal opinion and there is no way to determine who is correct?

Ironical even your own view cannot be supported in any way. you cannot use the Bible to support it.

Im aware that the bible is not the Lord. But it is His words. God breathed inspiration. 

 

The apostle paul was sent by God. Chosen by God. His words are indeed the inspired words of God. 

 

I know the Lord. You can find my testimony if you are interested in knowing how I know Him. Questioning my salvation just because I disagree with you is not cool.

To be safe, treat those writings as testimonies to the Lord Jesus and you will be in good hands, for sure. If you want sound teachings that will surely lead you to the way to your salvation and knowing God, then go and come to the Lord Jesus Christ in the way how He exists and lives in His own way of living.

How do you know how the Lord exist and lives?
