Dear Righttruth:

I am not sure what you are really expecting to happen here. A lot of Christians here are solidly convinced of Sola Scriptura. I am also solidly convinced that there is a perfect Word of God, too. The expressing of your opinion with no real weight of evidence or Scripture is not going to convince many people here. So you will not find too many people who will be willing to endlessly debate your odd or fringe like position in regards to the Bible, my friend. I say this not wound you, but I say this in truth and in love.

Anyways, I am moving on.
May God's love shine upon you.
And please be well.

Side Note:

As for the KJV vs. Modern Translation debate: Well, I have debated that topic for many years using Scripture and comparing the verses side by side with people who believe in Sola Scriptura. So far they have not brought up verses and or showed me the Modern Translations are superior when it comes to quality content (and not an update of the language).

Sola Scriptura is a blind assumption. Study the words of Jesus, that is truth which is understood if we walk in His way and practice His life. Jesus did not come to start a new religion or theology.

And just how many people do you think who were strongly Sola Scriptura switched to your way of thinking? Are you the lone holder of this particular truth?

Truth is not the monopoly of either Catholics or Protestants (Other sects too). Our personal Savior will reveal to you if you sought Him

Did you ever wonder why no one repents ?
Do you realize that without repentance there is no forgiveness of sin ? No eternal life. No born again ?
So then,
do you wonder why no one repents ?
Remember Yochanan the immerser publicly denied immersion for those who came to him to be immersed, if they had not repented . (it is obvious whenever someone repents - it is not something secret or hidden)

The Bible talks about us having fellowship with other believers. I just do not see how your belief lends towards it being duplicatable in any way whereby others would agree with you. Yes, there have been others who have thought like you, but they would probably most likely not agree with what portions of Scripture are reliable or unreliable. That's the problem. It's a pick and choose which version of the Bible you prefer.

Same measure has been applied to develop disputable concepts: pick and choose.

But there are people who do repent (even today), though.

To claim, that the Bible contains the words of God when interacting with people of other religions, will not help. They also quote their scriptures claiming the origin from their gods.

It is by the fruit of the Spirit that we show our superiority in spirituality, not in pages of books. It is by serving, sharing and suffering with humility that puts us apart from other religions.
Your testimony and the consistancy of the word of God. No body like the Christian has had their life turned around and changed by the power of God, no body like the Christian has the thanksgiving and love of the creator and you being a reflection of Jesus Christ within itself shows that Christianity is superior, second the Bible is the most accurate book that will ever be. The Bible predicted the Roman, Grecian, and bablonian empires. The Bible said the world is round before scientist said so, there is historical proof of Jesus and the early church, the Bible predicted the restoration of Israel before it happened in the 1940s or whenever that was, The Bible predicted Alexander the Great, i mean i could go on and on.

This part of your understanding is not Biblical nor is it a characteristic that Christ wished to instill into his faithful. "It is by the fruit of the Spirit that we show our superiority in spirituality,"
That is prideful judgment. That is what causes you to be rebuked by those you approach when you wish to deliver God's word to those who do not believe in it. You are an example of the indwelling spirit of God's holiness. Pride is a sin. A sinner boasting cannot deliver the gentle words of the shepherd.

Right

Prophecy is not for private interpretation. Christians look forward to glorious future, not wondering about the history. Israel's restoration is political ably supported misguided Christians. Unbelieving Jews are dead spiritually.

Also when i meant the restoration of Israel i meant the thing that happened in the 1940s when Israel was scattered around the earth and then eventually came back as a nation once again. Also Jews now are spiritually dead but remember that God still has his eyes on them as a people and he loves them so much for they are still the one's that he chose such a long time ago as his people and he's going to use the great tribulation to bring them back to God. Which was also predicted in the Bible and i believe it's gonna happen. Israel will be restored to their rightful place once they accept the Lord at the second coming of Jesus. I know you may understand what i'm saying i'm just trying to make what i'm saying clearer for other readers.

It is not pride or being boastful. I am only saying that by humility in service and helping others, we need to show how our belief in Jesus has yielded such a disposition which is better compared to hatred and prejudice in other religions. Unfortunately, Christians exhibit similar disliked attributes yet they claim salvation through mere belief in Jesus. People of other religions also claim such beliefs.

Can I 'temporarily' expand this for you to possibly mean
that you don't necessarily object to anything true about Jesus and the disciples including Paul,
but
you do (understandably(sometimes) ) object to mankind's ideas about Jesus and the disciples including paul ?

Coming back to place, from where they had fled from, has been achieved by political power supported by deluded Christians who started braying that as a fulfillment of prophecy. God has finally given the last chance for them through Christ. It need not be by encroachment of Palestine. I consider who support Jews are anti-Christ. That is what they are. Jesus has already cursed the old Israel. Land grabbing has never been the way of Christ. True believers in Christ look forward to heavenly Jerusalem and Jesus as the temple. Both Judaism and Islam are bloodthirsty religions, both need Christ.

I consider all when they complement the teaching of Jesus. Their concepts should not contradict the words of Jesus

In other words, this is right and good: you do seek and trust Yhwh (God).
And, we don't trust anything different than what Jesus says. (after all, He is Trustworthy; men are not) ...
no trick question here. simply stating the obvious - it is good and right to trust Jesus.
