Cults, RCC , Gnostics etc., do not like Sola Scriptura . Scripture is to be the basis to judge all other truth claims. Yowm I never read those words Sola Scriptura in the bible before? Is this word from the bible, or is it from man? These books that many of you find so dangerous, all have a common theme. To listen to the Word of God, and not man. God gives truth, not man. Do not stray from God's counsel by going our own way, because the devil will be there waiting to deceive. If you know God, you will recognise his voice anywhere. God has righteousness which we learn from the scriptures. We learn his commands, his ways, his warnings, and not only did he show us light, but he used the light to reveal the darkness. Anything that does not glorify God and his Son is not from God. Anything contrary to scripture is false. All these books I have read (not all), but the ones I talk about all speak and prophesy of Jesus. If it is from the devil, then why reveal that it is our Lord who will be sitting on the throne at his coming? Doesn't make sense. None of those books glorify Satan or his kingdom, but warn against.

Yowm When we read the holy bible with hunger for truth, the Word fill us up with the spirit of truth. The holy bible contains the spirit of God in it. Many men can write books, and from what they've written, we can determine what spirit is behind the author. If it is in line with the truth that we found in the holy scriptures, then that author has the spirit of God with him. If it is not in line with the holy bible, and has contractions, then the spirit of God is not with that author. Now what is hard for most, is reading details that were not contained in the holy scriptures, for they have nothing to compare it to,....but just because it wasn't mentioned in the holy scriptures, doesn't mean it didn't happen or wont happen. If you know your scriptures well, then you should be able to slot it in the right place. In the past, there were true men of God, and their experiences, and conversations with God, and visions were shared amongst their children to hand down. They were taught of Christ to come, ...heard about him, but we are fortunate today that we have the NT to really get to know Jesus and have that personal relationship with him. They did not have that, ...they knew of him, but didn't know him like we do today. Jesus is THE WORD OF GOD, and he said this; John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: So when the Shepherd speaks now and we know him, we can also hear him when he spoke to the men of the past. It's the same voice, full of righteousness and truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sola Scriptura is just that, Scripture is our ultimate authority when it comes to truth claims. I have read your excerpts from these extra biblical writings and have found them false. Satan is a grand master at mixing error with truth. Live in your deception if you must, but it will be deception leading you further and further from God's Way. Thank you for the warning, I know you say it out of love, but please give me an example of something false, because to call something false, you have to give facts on what was actually spoken so we can compare and test.

Source - http://www.answering-christianity.com/lost_books.htm [1] There is no need to defend sister because I did not attack her. I never mentioned her name in my OP. This thread is about extra-biblical writings and their lies and harm and deceit. [2] From your first list of "lost books", the book of Jasher today is not the book of Jasher mentioned in the Bible. The false book of Jasher today was written centuries after the record book of Jasher in the Bible. You see, there in lies part of the deceit. Those books on that first list are non-inspired history records and secular. The prophets and kings kept records, but that does not make them inspired or canonical. Now as for the false book of Jasher written today - it was not even written until centuries after the Bible was canonized. God cannot lie. God is not the author of confusion. The Bible and the "book of Jasher" (which is not the book mentioned in the Old Testament) contradict one another in many, many places. Both the Bible and the modern, false book of Jasher cannot be true. One of them is lying. The Bible says that Pharaoh died in the Red Sea (Psalm 136). The book of Jasher [81] says that Pharaoh escaped because as he watched his men drowning he suddenly "believed in God" and "thanked him" and God spared him, sent an angel to transport Pharaoh to Ninevah where he reigned a long time. The Bible says that the Red Sea was split into two parts and that the children of Israel walked a path. (Exodus 14; Joshua 3). The book of Jasher says the Red Sea was divided into 12 parts. The Bible says that Moses was 40 when he fled Egypt and that he fled to Midian. The book of Jasher (71 - 73) says that Moses was 18 when he left Egypt and he went to Cush and became king there for 40 years. Then he went to Midian where someone named Reuel put him in prison for 10 years because he thought the Cushites were after him. The Bible says that Joseph, when talking to his brothers before he revealed himself, kept Simeon as a guarantee that they would come back with Benjamin. The Bible says that Joseph had Simeon bound before their eyes. (Genesis 42) The book of Jasher (51) says that Joseph tried to have Simeon bound but that Simeon was not willing and he fought back and that he "could not be bound" at all. Either the Bible is wrong or the modern and false book of Jasher (which again, is not the ancient, ancient book mentioned in the Bible) is wrong. I have already pointed out the flaws of Enoch. [3] As for your second list, you have cited a link to the pro-Muslim site, answering-christianity. They deny the crucifixion on that site and more. I'm not sure why you referenced this site.

How can you put any kind of faith in speculations? They have no bearing in Scripture or history, just some dangerous exercises in connecting the dots. You don't recognise any of those things that Satan said to be true? Did he ever deliver what he promised Adam and Eve? Didn't he just describe his exact character with pride to a T?
