Personally ive found bible knowledge to be useless.
Its what you beleive in your heart that saves a person.
If i was given all the knowledge and answers to the bible who would listen, who would beleive more so?
Id rather point to the author of the book and have him explain it.
There are many many things that are above my pay grade, but i have learned to rest in the finished work of Christ.
Where did the wisdom of solomon get him? What would it profit a man to have all this knowledge but loose his soul.
I know many knowledgeable people who know scripture and share, but they share to prove a point rather that win a heart....so sad.
This is why i think the Lord allowed the gospel of luke to be along side the eye witness accounts.
Some yrs later after the ascension to show that the story remains the same and by personal testamony he became a believer.

Basically i rather have the love that compels rather than the knowledge that divides.

It is true that love is often better than knowledge. But the two are not mutually exclusive.

I want love that has its foundation in true deep real knowledge. A deep-rooted and well-informed love that knows and understands a person is life-changing. When one knows and understands Scripture in deep real ways one has a deep-rooted understanding and real love (both to God and to others)

13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Well it it not Inspired, it is FIRST HAND Accounts of What I saw
Other religions have things that are claimed to be first hand accounts. That doesn't make them inspired works.

That said, denominations like RCC accept it as deuterocanon in the Apocrypha. Mileage will vary with that one.

Is there some content in the Book and Enoch that resonates with you?

So the KEY is to have BOTH = LOVE and the SPIRIT

THREE is even BETTER = LOVE, the SPIRIT and the TRUTH (knowledge, wisdom, understanding in the Scripture that speak of Christ)

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit with LOVE is satans worse nightmare..........besides the Lake of Fire

Hello all,

First of all. I would like to apologise if this question might trigger you. However, if you feel offended, it is better to not to spread the hate in this forum as your word might kill other people's spirit. Nevertheless, it is just a little survey and I hope it will inspire you to carry your life of faith even better.

Here is a question:
If you have a chance to understand the 66 books in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, would you like to take it or leave it?

You may state your reason through the replies.
Precious friend, A Very Warm Welcome to Chat.

Understanding The Entire Word Of Truth may take me an Eternity,
as I am a Very S-L-O-W student. So, I prefer to "zero in" on knowing
God Better, And His Specific Will for me, Today, Under GRACE.
The only way I have been Led to do this is summed up in:

2 Timothy 2:15 studies:

Approval Unto God/Two Different Gospels!
+
"Distinctions" In God's Two Programs: prophecy vs Mystery!

Hopefully Encouraging and Edifying others on our faithful journey...

GRACE And Peace...

You have a funky pseudonym, with a funky OP. You also use the language of the post modernist crowd. Just wanted to say.

It is a good -- purely hypothetical -- trivia question but needs no reply.
