Yeah I'm over it (along with half the forum also 😵!)

That said, I fear your development could be held back if I prevent you from conducting your own reading on this matter first. When you honestly think you're ready, let me know and I'll get you started.

I'm rooting for you ThinkOfOne; make me proud! 🙂
Well, no surprise that you declined to make an attempt.

The fact that you still bring it up years later indicates that you still aren't over it. That coupled with your claim to the contrary is a pretty strong indicator it's what's still at work in your case. Add to that your feeble attempt to play it off that smacks of projection....

Hope this helps.

Well, my moves on a Wednesday morning are quite predictable and not very mysterious.

Did you see the words 'most likely'? And you then ask 'you know'? I did not claim to know.
I'll assume that my earlier response was sufficient for you to be able to grasp the concept. Seems unlikely that GoaD was able to, so good for you.

That said, are you going to answer the question? Or was this response a way of avoiding having to provide evidence?

So can we therefore take it that the New Testament is heretical? Or are you not following the conversation?

I am not following the conversation/s to well.
I just read through most of the comments though just now.

There are many books that I would call inspiring.
The theological doctrine of Inspiration does not forbid that someone say of some spiritual book written since the close of the canon - "That was an inspiring book."

Chew on it for a moment.

Wouldn't you say that the Christian Greek Scriptures are an accurate record of the coming of the Messiah and the establishing of the Christian Congregation/Religion?
There hs been no need for further books to be written during the dark ages.
But, there will be new books after this system is concluded.
See:
(Revelation 5:5) But one of the elders said to me: “Stop weeping. Look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered so as to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
(Revelation 17:8) The wild beast that you saw was, but is not, and yet is about to ascend out of the abyss, and it is to go off into destruction. And the inhabitants of the earth—those whose names have not been written in the scroll of life from the founding of the world—will be amazed when they see how the wild beast was, but is not, and yet will be present.
(Revelation 20:12) And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. The dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds.
(Revelation 21:27) But anything defiled and anyone who does what is disgusting and deceitful will in no way enter into it; only those written in the Lamb’s scroll of life will enter.
There's some good reading to look forward to!!

I believe nothing is required to be added to the Bible/scriptures that however does not
mean that God now has to keep His mouth shut and not relate to His creation in new
or personal ways. I'd caution anyone for claiming they have new scripture, if they do it, it
better line up with what has come before, and they know that they will give an account too
being false there would mean you'd have a chance to end up with as much blood on their
hands as some others who claim to speak for God, but didn't.

Yeah, like Muhammad and the Koran or Joseph Smith and his Book of Mormon or the Jehovah's Witnesses and their New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.

Or the bible or the Torah. All the lot of them man made with no deity involved. So your bible is no more spiritual than any of the ones you mentioned. You are clearly a hater of other religions and are one of the reasons religious wars go on decade after decade after decade. Something a real god would never allow.

I do.

But then again, I don't discriminate, I think everybody's bloody daft.

Not the best comeback but it'll do for you.

Be honest, after you posted that you went into your bedroom and tugged one off didn't you! 🙂
and I bet you didn't even have the common courtesy to wait until older brother was asleep either!

I have no desire for a religious war against the Muslims. But they are the ones that are using Jihad holy wars to to attack and bring terror on those that disagree with them. Other religious nations have a right and duty to defend against Satanic terrorism by destroying the this Satanic threat against normally peaceful Christians and Jews. 😏

So Christians are not killing other religious folk anywhere in the world?
