You just gave a commentary.

A whole lot of random verses. No idea what they are there for.
Exegete 1 John 2:27 on your own… just one verse, zero commentary! Pray for the Holy Spirit to help you, as you do this.

If you can’t understand the Volume of those verses… which is LOUD… this is bad!

Do you believe that Jesus can be your teacher? Do you understand the Bible without commentary?

You really don’t understand what 1 John 2:27 is saying?

Matthew 23:10 Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ.

Compare this verse with that verse.

Hammster, Jesus wants to be your teacher. I’m not kidding. It hurts His feelings when you go to a human, to learn about Him. He literally died to live inside of you and is excited to teach you! Commentary is not good.

Exegesis is commentary.

Then why do you keep giving commentary?

Did you start at the top and work your way down?!? You don’t hear it?!?
I have all the way through scripture three times in the last year, and will finish a fourth by September. Your random verses without context are meaningless.

Hammster… Jesus will help you Exegete for yourself! He is your teacher, not Calvin!

Those verses I posted reveal something special about God! It’s arranged in a specific order! Please try to read it and pray! Don’t touch the Commentary!

They are not helping!

I’m not being funny or anything… I’m serious… Without Commentary, do you hear Him while you read without commentary? Not an audible voice, but a sort of guiding hand as you seek meaning, apart from the teachings of men?

I give it to ween people off of it! I declare my Commentary, Opinions… and always point to 1 John 2:27

I’m a one trick pony!

Hammster, my wife watched me spend hours assembling Scripture only Trinity doctrine… I read it to her, just the emphasized parts and she instantly understood it!

You realize that you keep ignoring Scripture only?

You listened when I posted commentary, but you ignore scripture?

Do you not see what is going on, here?

Of course.

So your commentary is good. Other commentary is bad. Got it.

Why do you keep giving commentary?

To counter closed systems and provoke people to ditch all extra biblical understanding.

This is my prayer for the entire invisible body!

I’m not ignoring scripture. But your random verses aren’t compelling. They presuppose your conclusion.

Your commentary is extra-biblical.

Hammster, how do you get that mess out of me saying that I always declare it opinion and encourage 1 John 2:27?

That’s not just marginal misunderstanding.

Say what?!?

My conclusion? You can’t piece together any verses and you’re judging the Holiest Trinity verses in scripture as “My Opinion”?

Those are the core verses trinity doctrine are built from. There’s only 1 Cannon, well 73 and 66 but you get it.
