Why read the Bible? In Paul’s second letter to Timothy (3:16) we read “ All scripture is Inspired by GOD, and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. Jesus states in John 8:31-32 “ If you abide in my word you are truly my disciples and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free”. In another place Jesus states “ I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me”. Back in John 8:34 He states “ everyone who sins is a slave to sin. A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son is part of the family forever. 36 So if the son sets you free you are truly free. “ In Romans 8:13 Paul states “ If, by the Spirit, you put to death the deeds of the flesh, you will live. “ In Peter’s second letter, starting in 1:3 we read “ By His divine power God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all this by coming to know Him, the One who has called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. And because of his glory and excellence, He has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable us to share His divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. In John’s first letter 2:15-17 we read “Do not love the world or the things in the world for all that is in the world… the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And this world is fading away, along with everything people desire. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. In conclusion, Matthew 7:24-27 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the flood waters rise and the winds beat against that house, it will not collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who here’s my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash. Oh, one more great and precious promises:Luke 11:11-13 “You fathers-if your children ask for a fish, will you give them a snake instead? Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!!” Read the Bible…Taste and see that the Lord is good. 😊

God never promised a infalable book for His people. Nor is Jesus who is the word a bible!?! However, his message is found in the writtings and compilations of the writtings of various men some greater then others. Gods preservation is not an accomplishment of man nor Institution. The problem all these people discussing it have absolutly no idea what the gospel is in the first place though they think they have scripture & authority.

The 2nd comming happened already thats why pope & 95% of all churches -"christians" are just heretical cults created by the devil & strong Delusions
