The problem I have with these above verses that you share is that every Christian on the planet each with their own view of Scripture that's different from everyone else uses these verses to claim they are correct on how they see the Bible.

Exactly the same as you do, Peter!

But not always with the same hubris.

I don't recall ever saying I believe this to be true because the holy spirit showed me.

Peter, that is certainly truy and an excellent point. This maybe of some help and not new to this community, but perhaps you and Waggles might identify just one verse that speaks the most to your interpretation and then discuss just how you read it and interpret it (without bringing in 300 other verses to support it). Then others will also be able to understand both sides rather easily / quickly and provide their views and how they interpret this same verse...... just saying..... 

Hope you don't mind, Charlie.......... and regarding MY earlier post...... I will still have to get back to you on my expertise...... just wait for it, Charlie

I probably have said it 50 times on here... One verse at a time please.

I am an expert in Acts through Thessalonians.

That would worry me, if I declared that about myself, in any field,...only God is the expert!..

” I am the expert “. “ I”. nope not “ I”?

I too am an "expert" at understanding scriptures especially the New Testament through the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth.

1John 2:27  And the anointing which ye received of him abides in you, and ye have no need that one teach you; but as his *anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, abide in him.

1Cor 2:12  But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from *God; that we might know the things *freely given to us of *God. 
13  Which things also we speak, not in words taught of man’s wisdom, but in Spirit-taught words; interpreting spiritual things to spiritual men. 

Another “ expert” be careful.?

“ I am the expert “. “I” nope!

I see that witty repartee and satire are beyond some.

I would not be telling the truth if I said I was not an expert with an in-depth understanding of the resurrected Christ Jesus.

Do you have anything to support your claim above?

About "the resurrected Jesus ".

Was Jesus resurrected?

It appears I was able to put together a couple hundred pages tracking the Christ through the Scriptures. The document can be viewed from my profile.

Say something that proves your claim that Jesus Christ was resurrected. 

Or someone else can say something to support your claim. That Jesus was resurrected.
