@kellyjay saidBible scholars study the whole Bible. These are priests, Levites, Pharisees, monks and other bible enthusiasts.
Is the whole Bible the Word of God, or select parts only?
The good and the righteous and those who are interested in eternal life in the Kingdom of God, follow the commandments of Christ. Some people do not even need to read the bible or even read the commandments. They are naturally good decent people, whose conscience is their guide to good and evil.
@rajk999 saidWas Jesus not aware of those people that didn't require God's Word? He clearly said we are to live by the Word of God, every Word of God? When the Bible says that sin entered into all of men through one man, did God forget this? The Bible says that is it through the Lord Jesus Christ we have received reconciliation, but you are suggesting no, it is not required by some because they are naturally good and decent people by God's standards of good?

Matthew 4:4
But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Romans 5:11-13 English Standard Version (ESV)
More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law
Who do you define naturally good and decent people, are they by nature sinless people, or their sins are not as bad as other people's sins? What makes a naturally good and decent person in your view before God, do they need Jesus at all?
@rajk999 saidYou also didn't answer the question posed either.

@kellyjay saidYou obviously dont read all of Gods Word.

(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another😉 (Romans 2:13-15 KJV)

@rajk999 saidNo, I've been through all of it several times over and over. You still have not answered the question I asked. Even your scripture quote here doesn't let anyone off the hook, as soon as anything done by anyone they regret doing because they know it was wrong, goes against their conscience accusing them, we all need a savior! The law written on our hearts only shows us none will be with an excuse.

So you going to answer the question?

The Bible is the word of God and how God works and works. Everything in the Bible was written by God's servants from different ages.
That's right. And having stood the test of time and the passage of many ages, it is indestructible.
It is also about how God works and works Himself into man's being. God - building man into Himself and building Himself into man.
("Man" here means human being - female and male)
What a book. What a revelation!
