To Whom Does The Scriptures Belong?

Moved to the workshop

I confessed Christ because I was convicted by the reading the scriptures.
The Gospel and letters of John were what spoke to me the most.
It was the thought of someone loving me enough to die for me.
I believe in Jesus Christ because I read about Him.
Are you going to argue with me about that?

THE SCRIPTURES ARE NOT FOR THE LOST. BUT FOR THE SAVED. EXAMPLE: JOHN 3:16. IT IS FOR THOSE WHOM ARE, ARE, ARE SAVED, AND SO THAT THEY DONT GET LOST. READ IT AND MAY YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU READ. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT CHRISTIANS USE THIS VERSE TO PREACH TO THE SINNER. SINNER IS LOST AND CANNOT SEE, MUCH LESS UNDERSTAND JOHN 3:16

First off, your caps lock key is stuck; get that fixed.

If the scriptures are for the saved, how can anyone become saved? We don't start saved, do we? And if we don't start saved, and the scriptures are not for us because we are not saved, how to we get anywhere?

God's son was not sent to die for the people who didn't need him; there weren't any. He died for all of us.

I always been lead to believe that the scriptures were the most powerfull witnessing tool.

I know this much God can write alot better then I can write or talk to the unsaved.

Amen!
"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

So are there any verses for the "lost"? Or are they all just for the saved?

Lost and saved alike.
