Does that do away with all the Words Spoken by Yahuah (the scriptures I gave above)?
colossi3: The words stand but to look for eternal life in the written word is not wise: Jesus said, 'Search the scriptures for in them you THINK you have life, but they are they which testify of me." Ap. John wrote, "This is the record that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his son Jesus Christ.' In Rv he adds, 'for the TESTIMONY of Jeus is the SPIRIT of prophesy.
WHo has the testimony of Jesus but one who is born of His Spirit? He is the Living Word, and this Spirit of His Word we ought to keep. Worship of God in Jesus Christ is spirit and is truth.

colossi3: "The hour will come and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth, for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in Spirit and in Truth." Jesus says, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; NO Man can come to the Father except by me."
And even so, not unless the Father first draw him to seek Jesus the Savior of the World:
God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself; He that believes ON the Son has everlasting life, and he that does not believe ON THE SON, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." Jn 3
Rom 4:7,8,9B "Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered: BLESSED IS THE MAN TO WHOM THE LORD WILL NOT IMPUTE SIN...WE SAY THAT FAITH WAS RECKONED TO ABRAHAM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. He staggered not at the promise of God thorough UNBELIEF but was strong in faith giving glory to God, being fully persuaded that what he had promised He was also able to perform. ANd therefore it [faith] was imputed to him for righteousness."
1 Cor 10:23: "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: [because while] ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL for me, all things do not EDIFY [the Body of Christ, His Church].
Ap Paul practiced what he preached: "For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh dwell no good things; to will [the desire] to do good is with me, but how to PERFORM that which is good, I find not...I delight in the law of God in THE INNER MAN, who before God is of great price." The last few words are Ap. Peter's. The inner man is Jesus CHrist who dwells in the reborn believer through faith, He and the Father both. Such are the fruits of faith working by love: Faith is the gift of the spirit, ie the work of God; God is love so from beginning to end eternal life is the gift of God in Christ Jesus His Son.
"ANd they that were ordained to life eternal, believed."
Gospel of John: ch 3:1-36
