Christian Books other than the Bible

[morse86]

We don't need any more Christian books other than a old bible. We already have the perfect word of God, you can use any of the old bibles from the textus receptus (kjv etc).

Most of the "Christian" books are worldly. They introduce weird messed up doctrine because the authors are not Christian or they are trying to get $$$. That's why there is so much confusion regarding sons of god, nephilim, salvation etc

You've read most of them?

You've read most of them?

1 Corinthians 2:14:
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Don't go to the atheist world philosophers, or the telievision preachers, or the copyright $$$ publishers of this world to learn about God. How can they understand the things of God? Go to the source, a old bible preaching church where there is a non-compromising pastor. Someone that doesn't sway with the wind and is rooted in the word of God.

Titus 1:11:
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

The copyright publishers of this world who change the original old bibles so they can copyright it and sell it for $$$ under the disguise of "easy to understand".

Revelation 22:19:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book.

The philosophers and authors of this wold adding and changing the word of God so they can make a profit.

The Great Awakening in the 18th century is sometimes credited to a book written by Henry Scougal: The life of God in the Soul of Man. George Whitefield and John and Charles Wesley took up reading that book and were converted through it. The rest is history.

In some cases you are correct but not nearly in all. Some modern Christian literature is good and perhaps even Holy Spirit inspired.
I.do not fear any writings. I've read many non Christian books that were very revealing.
.Reading only.the bible is not being well.read. It is not even being faithful.to God

How would you know how to witness to a Hindu.or a Muslim.if you do not know what they believe? Other texts cannot harm you if you have faith. In fact Christianity is the only faith that does not make other non Christian text taboo. Seems you have. Do you fear them?

Nevertheless, in the third part, Scougal recognizes the difficulties in following God. He thus encourages the dependence upon divine assistance, and the contemplation of scripture in developing a Godly life.

Read his book, he teaches works salvation. He teaches you an work your way to Heaven, implying there is no need for Jesus.

Hindu's are polytheist right? Well that's easy. By the very definition of truth, by the definition of God there cannot be multiple gods. God is omnipotent, you cannot have 2 Gods with equal power...yet hindus have multiple gods. Who is ruling??? Krisna or Vishnu? Only one can be called a God.

Can you explain how the origin of the quanran was written? What happened and forced it to be written?

Our God is one person with 3 physical forms like man: soul, spirit, and flesh because God us in his image: The Father, Jesus in the flesh, and the Holy Spirit.....equal in power but distinct a the same time...the Godhead.

He never created the animals in his image. He never created (formed) anything other than man in his image.

I'm pretty sure Whitefield, and the Wesley brothers would disagree with you on that point.
You see, prior to their conversion, they were part of what they called the 'Holy Club'. They established this club in an attempt to be as holy in their conduct as they could possibly be in order to gain favor with God. It wasn't until they read Scougal's book that they realized acceptance with God can only be achieved through Jesus Christ and not by their works. Their review of the book (demonstrated by their dramatic conversions) moved me to read it.
I am afraid you have quite misunderstood Mr. Scougal's work.

 

[royal priest]

How can they when the book says to trust in the work instead of Jesus???? Can you quote from the book that DEFINITELY without a doubt states to believe in Christ Jesus??

"The root of the divine life is faith; the chief branches are love to God, charity to man, purity, and humility: for, as an excellent person hath well observed, however these names be common and vulgar, and make no extraordinary sound, yet do they carry such a mighty sense, that the tongue of man or angel can pronounce nothing more weighty or excellent. Faith hath the same place in the divine life, which sense hath in the natural, being indeed nothing else but a kind of sense, or feeling persuasion of spiritual things; it extends itself unto all divine truths; but in our lapsed estate, it hath a peculiar relation to the declaration of God’s mercy and reconcilableness to sinners through a Mediator; and therefore, receiving its denomination from that principal object, is ordinarily termed faith in Jesus Christ."

Thank you for describing works salvation.

Jesus told us to preach to the heathens and be the light of this world. Most of them will believe, be saved instantly, but will NEVER follow christ...YET they are saved. That is because when they believed, in that very moment of time, their soul was saved and locked in Jesus's palm. Jesus is their righteousness (and ours too).

Faith is believing on Christ, that is all. Adam believed, he disobeyed, but he believed.

Romans 4:3:
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

Faith without works in front of men is dead because men cannot see the heart, they can only see the works. God on the other hand sees the heart.[/QUOTE]

Does salvation cause men to repent of their sins?

 

[morse86]

Does salvation cause men to repent of their sins?

No it doesn't. Jesus got thousands of people who came to see him saved. Did they just magically stop sinning? Did they crucify Jesus over and over every day they sinned ???? People get saved all the time from Christians who go door-to-door- gospel preaching...these people never follow Jesus...yet they are saved.

The bible makes it clear, when you believe, the spirit is reborn instantly and the spirit cannot sin. We're still stuck in the old flesh...the flesh can sin, it's a struggle between the flesh vs spirit until Jesus returns and gives us an incorruptible new body. Man has 3 forms: flesh, spirit, and soul (we're created in God's image).

The word repent means TURN away. Turn away from your OLD world beliefs (whatever wordy things you believed) and believe on on Christ for salvation. It's not a process, it's instant. Even if you were to change later, it's already done.

John 10:28:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”

It's not a long drawn out process. It's instant.

Your post isn't the Bible. Why should I listen to you? I can read the verses you spit out in my KJV easily enough. And I have a mind for context.

The Lord put teachers in the Body, it's a special gift that some have. Books are essentially a form of fellowship or teaching.
