Re: Bible Study by NATUREOFPOETRY: 8:21pm On Sep 07, 2021
If all the details were given while Jesus was on earth, then what's the need of the Holy Spirit? Why was the book of Revelation written?
Were the apostles still supposed to be having revelations of the scriptures?

NATUREOFPOETRY:
It is finished never meant all revelations were over. The apostles were still having revelations that confirmed everything Christ told them.

Heb.1.3 - The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Heb.1.4 - So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
Heb.1.5 - For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father "? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"?

NATUREOFPOETRY:
To your own interpretation, how does 2Tim 3:16 paint God at that?
2 Tim 3 vs 16, does nothing of the such. It simply informs you that everything written in scripture, even the words of Satan contained in it, are inspired of the Spirit of God. That does not then mean everything is the Word of God since Jesus Christ made it clear that the Word of God we are to live by are the Words out of God's own mouth- God's Law - Jesus Christ. undecided

NATUREOFPOETRY:
Deut.30.20 and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (NIV)

So, how do we listen to God?

Again, Deuteronomy 30 vs 20 is instruction given by God to those who are of the blood of Jacob, of which you are not. undecided
Re: Bible Study by NATUREOFPOETRY: 8:25pm On Sep 07, 2021
So therefore, we are just called to just live by it and not study nor meditate on it?

Kobojunkie:
"It is finished" meant the conclusion of the New Covenant agreement which God promised to bring to the World - Jeremiah 31 vs 31 - 34 , God's Law which you and I are called to live by - in continual submission and obedience to. undecided
Re: Bible Study by Kobojunkie: 8:26pm On Sep 07, 2021
NATUREOFPOETRY:
For the Jews, God had a promise to fulfil to them. While that was on, God also had a plan for the world.

John.3.16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV)
God's New Covenant is the same plan with which He blessed the people of all nations with - Jeremiah 31 vs 31 - 34 undecided
Re: Bible Study by NATUREOFPOETRY: 8:27pm On Sep 07, 2021
Gal.3.28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (NIV)

God told you in Ezekiel 36 vs 25 - 27, of His new Covenant, that He will put His Spirit into those who belong to Him so that they can carefully obey Him. undecided

The Spirit of God is one of the Seals of the New Covenant Law of the Kingdom of God - the Gospel - Jesus Christ. undecided

Revelations are not meant as new Truths.... instead they are visions of things to happen in the future. Do not confuse Revelations with new Truths. Jesus Christ made this clear when He said that the Spirit of Truth will take from that which belongs to Him,the Truth of God, To give you. undecided
Re: Bible Study by NATUREOFPOETRY: 8:31pm On Sep 07, 2021
Read that chapter to the end. Those the promise seem like what will happen in this present corrupt world?
Part of it has been fulfilled. The rest is left till when Jesus will appear in his glory

You can read the Bible....but study, in the way you described, is meaningless... as Jesus Christ made it clear that the only way to receive understanding from Him is to use the understanding you previously had. undecided
Re: Bible Study by NATUREOFPOETRY: 8:33pm On Sep 07, 2021
Then how was the understanding gotten?

As the verse you quoted tells you clearly.... what it states if of Jesus Christ, the New Covenant, and not of the Old Covenant Law which God made more than clear belongs to the Jews alone - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 -20 undecided

God is God and He will do what He promised in His time... Jesus Christ is the New Agreement promised by God and He will return to fulfill the rest. undecided

Like I explained earlier, by use of even basic human language comprehension skill which the average human being has quite a bit of...that understanding alone is more than enough to start you on your journey to acquiring more through obedience of Jesus Christ's command there. undecided

Mark.4.24 And He said to them, Be careful what you are hearing. The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you - and more [besides] will be given to you who hear. (AMP)

Ignore it in what sense? undecided

I acknowledge what it says...you,on the other hand,are attempting to use it to circumvent God's own decree there in Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20 , a very illogical act on your part as one who claims to trust God. undecided
Re: Bible Study by NATUREOFPOETRY: 8:41pm On Sep 07, 2021
Understanding alone is enough to start....

But the apostles continued in fellowship, in breaking of bread and in prayer. Why didnt leave the converts to grow based on their understanding?
Why did the Berea Christians do back to search the scriptures, when Paul's teaching already gave them basic understanding

The law was formally written on a tablet, and God was assuring them on one that would be documented in their heart

Again, the Old Covenant Law of Moses belongs only to those who Re born of the blood of Jacob - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20. undecided

How long have you been studying this Bible of yours? undecided
Re: Bible Study by NATUREOFPOETRY: 8:48pm On Sep 07, 2021
You've been referring to those verses a lot, when they were simply God's commands to the Israelites not to forsake His ordinances

Jesus Christ told us that those who love Him are those who obey His commandments - John 14 vs 20 - 25 undecided
And He also declared that His friends are those who do what He says - John 15 vs 14 undecided

He never asked you to follow in His footsteps, let alone the footsteps of His apostles, so I am not sure where you get off trying to circumvent Jesus Christ, God's Truth , again, by suggesting what the apostles may have or not done. undecided

Simply God's commands? So, you don't even begin to understand what God's Law represents for those bound to the Contract, do you? undecided

That passage reveals to you that it means LIFE or DEATH to those who are bound to that particular Law. undecided
Re: Bible Study by NATUREOFPOETRY: 8:53pm On Sep 07, 2021
So, in your view, only Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, are the only part of the Bible that is valid to those obeying Him, right?

So, in short, you don't believe in the inspiration of the Holy Spirit?
Re: Bible Study by NATUREOFPOETRY: 8:58pm On Sep 07, 2021
1 Peter 2:21 “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:”

Matt.16.24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. (NIV)

Not following Christ footsteps

Valid in what sense? I just told you what God said in Deuteronomy and in Jeremiah... does that someone imply I don't think those books valid too? undecided

Maybe the problem instead is your understanding of the word "inspiration" here. undecided

The words of Satan also written in scripture, are also inspired by the Spirit of God, but I don't see you quoting Satan in order to refute what God said, why is that? undecided

I am not sure what meaning you expect me to take from this. undecided

To follow Jesus Christ, He told you that you do so by obeying commandments, so? undecided
Re: Bible Study by NATUREOFPOETRY: 9:03pm On Sep 07, 2021
Footsteps of the apostles

1Cor.11.1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. (NIV)

We were to just obey him
