Nonsense. Jesus clearly said there is more He has to tell us than is written.
Actually Jesus did not say that. John said there are many more things Jesus did which if hey wsere written in detaly the world would not contain them...
Quote:
God did not make a book written by men His Word.
That's right, He inspired them to exactly write what He told them. How do you determin wh in the Bible is from God and wht is f rom men?
Quote:
Jesus is the Living Word of God and He abides with us as the Comforter sent in His name to guide us to the truth
Where do we find this truth?
Quote:
God has "written in our hearts" in agape love. The letter kills bu the Spirit gives life.
A question for those who carry the virus of dehumanization:How exactly does it happen that normal human beings, all endowed with that of a conscience, having an awareness of individual responsibility for their judgments and choices, manage to justify in their own eyes the most inhuman atrocities and acts of self-righteousness without running into intolerable cognitive dissonance within their own supreme values?
Let me know when you can answer this question, until then, ...

What are you having trouble with? "Cognitive dissonance?" Try "serious contradictions in their understanding."
What is it? Is the idea that God did it, so it's ok even though anyone else doing it would be horrible?

Is John only quoting Jesus when YOU think he is???

Inspiration is NOT dictation. Inspirations have to be interpreted by the receive using their lack of knowledge, understanding, barbaric beliefs, and superstitions.We know what is from God by testing the Spirit of what is written against the Holy Spirit of agape (Who IS God). If it is NOT compatible with the Holy Spirit of agape love it is NOT from God or Jesus.

Where God has written it - in our hearts in agape love.
Quote:
What does God write on our hearts?
Everything He wants us to know and do - love Him and each other every day and repent when we don't.
You should pay attention Finn to what you are saying(justifying why you sin) and go further back from where i jumped in.
I have old you before, youn eed some lessons in reading betwee the lines. I have never tried to justify my sins.
Quote:
You have God somewhere up in the skies whose ways are higher than yours rather than looking at what the scripture is saying.
Where do you think I was looking to quote "God's ways are higher than mine.
Quote:
God is not saying you cannot have my higher ways and higher thoughts because i am higher up than you on these things, he is saying they are yours so you do not have to live the miserable difficult existence you've created for yourself by your belief of separation and using your miserable excuse of being a man who sins for not living by his higher ways and thoughts.
Is your reading comprehension really that low? I have not said or even implied that I cannot have higher ways or thoughts. I will post slower if it will help you understand better.
Quote:
Take upon yourself his higher ways and thoughts and you will quit talking like you are a loser/sinner and you'll also quit assuming what is sin in others too at the same time.
I have never said or implied I am a loser. I freely admit i am a sinner, but that does not make me a loser. Do you admit you are a sinner?

What seious contradiction in our understanding? Be specific/

When I read something John says Jesus said, I don't THINK he is quoting Jesus, i KNOW he is.

If it isn't, then we cannot know for sure the Bible is God's inspired word.

What God inspired man to write did not depend on the writer to interpret wht Go said. God tole them specifically what to write.

We only know what is from God if it in His word. If it is not in the Bible, we have no way of knowing if it is from God.
I agree with your last sentence. That is basically the greatest commandment.
