If you read the scriptures with your eyes open you will discover there is something greater than reading about him, that was the state the disciples abode in, then they first found him as a man, then after that they discovered he was in man. Something i have been trying to show you since i have been posting on here, but if you are honest you prefer to read about him than know him presentin you. I would have thought a man who works for Disney would at least be imaginative.

chapter and verse that says the ONLY way to believe Jesus is through he bible?

Jesus did not carry the scrolls around with Him, nor did H quote scripture 24/7.

What scripture was Jesus referring to when He came across the woman about to be stoned?

When He provided food for 5,000?

When He gave the Beatitudes?

In fact, was not the primary reason for Jesus to quote scripture was in referring to Himself?

You know all that because you read the scriptures. Ironic, isn’t it?

You have a point, but the bigger question is - are you learning anything?

What Jesus Christ does for us is bring us back to our senses, especially our spiritual sense. So when you see the likes of Finn Jarber and anyone who thinks they are being loving by trying to take a spec of dust out of the eye of someone while not having dealt with the plank their own, there is something inside of you that wells up that would say "he that is without sin let them take the spec of dust out of your brothers eye", regardless of whether you have read about Jesus saying basically the same thing in the bible.

So when Jesus Christ becomes a reality in you, you awake to the things of God and judge and determine things from a spiritual plain, where love is the foundation, you don't need the bible to tell you what you know in the Spirit, whether what you are seeing in the spiritual plain is in the bible or not.

Jesus says otherwise.

" Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. "

"Genuine worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in TRUTH. "

(Father) "Your word is truth."

" The man who loves me keeps my word. "

"No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born from above. No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and SPIRIT."

" The words I spoke to you (God's word/scripture) are SPIRIT and LIFE.

Jesus said the words he spoke were from his Father. Are you saying the bible was his Father?, wouldn't surprise me in the least if you are.
