What did Jesussay?

He did not say I SEND TO YOU WRITTEN WORDS BY MORTAL MEN...

Jesus did not even say--WAIT,THE BIBLE IS COMING..

Jesus NEVER said--WRITE THIS DOWN IT WILL BE IMPORTANT WHEN THE BIBLE IS PUBLISHED...


What Jesus DID SAY is---

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.--JOHN 14:26


NOTICE there is NO MENTION of Christ sending us a BIBLE...

So YES,indirectly GOD DID SAY LAY YOUR BIBLES DOWN..no where does God tell us to READ he ancient book written by men and edited by the elite 24/7..nor that this bible should be our guide..

He did say the HOLY SPIRIT will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you...The bible is not even mentioned as a supplement to the HS voice..

Tell me, chapter and verse where I am wrong?

have you ever heard the audible voice of God?
YOUR WORD is AUDIBLE, since it took so long for mortal men to write what they thought was right, why would so many people be left out for centuries until God"wrote"a bible?


Obviously you have not?


Do you not believe GOD STILL SPEAKS TODAY?

Would love to hear what people say...not only you, my darling person.
Do not think for a moment that my love for my neighbor(s) does not allow me to address "mean and hurtful" people appropriately.

You proved yourself wrong by referring to the Bible to make your point. If you had put your Bible down, you might not know this. In fact, you would know nothing about Jesus without the Bible.

Jesus read and quoted scripture, and He knew it by memory. You should too.

When you do the things which you know are good and right, you are not in need that someone else tell you.

I DO know it by memory. that is how i can I set it down and backed away..

My point was never NOT KNOW what was written, rather do not drag it along as a show piece so everyone can see it as think what a pious arse one is..

I do not need to carry a bible 24/7, study it day and night and wear it like a trophy to know what ancient men wrote in it centuries after the facts..

Jesus never carried a bible, neither should you.

Sounds like you do carry it with you, just in your memory. What’s the difference between that and reading or studying it? Doesn’t that come prior to memorization?

I have to say, 'right on', again.
What is easier than that sentence? You are a good 'debater'.
If this is a debate, I dunno.
