A Biblical Defense of Bible Alone + The Anointing to Understand It

[NBB]

I understood your meaning my brother. But just because the environment may change, or there may be a new gadget produced, but there is really nothing new. Only the stage setting may vary a little bit from one age to another.

God knowledge is infinite, and we get very little of it.

Not if you read your bible. Lots to be had there....

Ah come on, God knowledge vs the bible, i mean the bible is very good, but you have no imagination!

 

[Bible Highlighter]

I'm just saying there is a lot of useful 'tips' and things that are not in the bible.

And this is in regards to spiritual teachings?

But you cannot tap into it apart from scripture.

Yes you can, God says he gives wisdom and knowledge to people.

While I am sure there is many things we do not know that God does know, the important things that are essential to our Christian living is all found in the Bible. There is no other words of God needed besides His Holy Word to guide us into a right relationship with God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says all Scripture is profitable for instruction in righteousness so as to make us perfect unto every good work. No inner voices outside of God's Word are needed. No audible voices are needed. No visions are needed. We have what we need with God's Word. God abides with His Word to talk to us today.

But this is not biblical knowledge. It comes only from the bible.

While the creation declares the glory of God, and while the Gentiles do have a basic knowledge of certain things that are right and wrong as a part of how God created them, they do not have the gospel, or the doctrine of Christ (His teachings) without the written Word. This is true wisdom and knowledge. Jesus says we are to abide in Him and His words. Meaning, we are to have a relationship with Jesus Christ and we ought to obey Him as a part of that relationship (Based upon His holy Word and not our own thoughts).

I tell you something embarrasing, i have learned that the Holy spirit doesn't like masturbation at all, and we can quench him because of that, but christians debate all the time if it a sin or not.

Again, God clearly talks to us about this in His Word. This would be lust. This is clearly covered in Matthew 5:28-30. Why do you think it tells you to cut off your hand? Granted, this verse is using strong metaphor to illustrate how we need to cut off looking at others in a lustful way. The hand and the eyes are a common thing in the type of lust you describe. The Holy Spirit can convict us of sin, but this is in line with God's Word. This sin is mentioned in His Word. There are others who think that some things are a sin and are not sins. We need God's Word to ultimately guide us and not just our own thoughts or feelings alone.

Ah, like i never saw a masturbation is a sin debate, people are just unsure about that.
Some say you can do it without lust.

Paul says we are to focus on that which is good. I would use verses like Matthew 5:28-30 to fight against any struggle a Christian may have in this department.

As for a person who thinks they do that, without lust, they are only deceiving themselves. One cannot get excited without seeking some kind of pleasure (lust), from that action.

16 "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
(1 John 2:16-17).

A good verse to overcome when one sees a woman or some tempting thing on the internet is to quote Scripture to defeat the devil's temptations.

One example could be: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want..."

A person needs to ask themselves. What do they want more? Jesus or the lust of the flesh?

 

[Bible Highlighter]

Ephesians 5:12 says, "It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret"

 

[redleghunter]

Yes the bible is a guide to us, but there is a lot of matters it doesn't talk about, and our christian life there is a lot of 'tips' we can learn in our christian life, and they are not in the bible, specially i think a pastor or minister need to know a lot of things, trough experience or because the Holy spirit made them understand, things neccesary to know that they are not explicit or otherwise said in the bible.

Just what i think...

The Bible does not address thermonuclear war, but we can figure out dropping such a bomb on neighbor is not keeping in the Love of Christ.

 

[redleghunter]

@Jason0047 well done sir. Very good OP.

 

[NBB]

There is a lot of non so obvious thing to know that are not in the bible.

Now, i like the bible, please don't say i'm against it or something, our doctrine etc. should be based on it. but...

 

[redleghunter]

True. But He revealed what we need.

 

[redleghunter]

Yes you can, God says he gives wisdom and knowledge to people.

That’s true. What @Jason0047 presnted in the OP is the only infallible authority to test truth claims are the Holy Scriptures.

For example, if someone claims wisdom from God, the remainder of the assembly can test the wisdom against Holy Scriptures to confirm what they are saying is true. The OP pointed that out with Acts 17:11

I agree that the bible is truth, and if we get 'lost' or unsure on some matter we should go there, the problem is when the bible say nothing about it or is unclear that it says something.

This reminds me of:
'If someone lacks wisdom, ask God, who will give abundantly, but ask with faith etc.'
