The Word of God | "You Should Seek the Way of Compatibility With Christ" (Excerpt 1)

The Word of God | "You Should Seek the Way of Compatibility With Christ" (Excerpt 1)

Almighty God says, "People, who have been corrupted, all live in Satan's trap, they live in the flesh, live in selfish desires, and there is not a single one among them who is compatible with Me. There are those who say that they are compatible with Me, but who all worship vague idols. Although they acknowledge My name as holy, they tread a path that runs contrary to Me, and their words are full of arrogance and self-confidence, because, at root, they are all against Me, and incompatible with Me.

The Church of Almighty God — Christian Crosstalk "Going Outside the Bible" | Can We Gain Eternal Life by Keeping to the Bible?

Xiang Yang works at a house church, and just like many religious believers, he thinks that God's words and work are all in the Bible, that believing in the Lord means believing in the Bible, that the Bible represents the Lord, and that if he abides by the Bible, he will enter the kingdom of heaven and gain eternal life.

God’s Words - 64. We feel that all of God’s words are in the Bible and that anything outside of the Bible does not contain God’s revelations or words. Why is this type of statement wrong?

God's Word - 63. The Bible says that all scripture is given by inspiration of God, then why do you say that the Bible isn’t fully the words of God?

God's Word - 63. The Bible says that all scripture is given by inspiration of God, then why do you say that the Bible isn’t fully the words of God?

The Answer from God’s Word:

Not everything in the Bible is a record of the words personally spoken by God. The Bible simply documents the previous two stages of God’s work, of which one part is a record of the foretellings of the prophets, and one part is the experiences and knowledge written by people used by God throughout the ages. Human experiences are tainted with human opinions and knowledge, which is unavoidable. In many of the books of the Bible are human conceptions, human biases, and human absurd interpretations.

The Answer from God’s Word:

     The Jewish Pharisees used the law of Moses to condemn Jesus. They did not seek compatibility with the Jesus of that time, but diligently followed the law to the letter, to the extent that they ultimately nailed the innocent Jesus to the cross, having charged Him with not following the law of the Old Testament and not being the Messiah. What was their essence? Was it not that they didn’t seek the way of compatibility with the truth?

Know God - 57. What exactly is the relationship between God’s work and the Bible? Did God’s work come first or did the Bible come first?

Know God - 57. What exactly is the relationship between God’s work and the Bible? Did God’s work come first or did the Bible come first?

The Answer from God’s Word:

     It is nothing more than a historical record of God’s work, and a testament to the previous two stages of God’s work, and offers you no understanding of the aims of God’s work. Everyone who has read the Bible knows that it documents the two stages of God’s work during the Age of Law and the Age of Grace. The Old Testament chronicles the history of Israel and Jehovah’s work from the time of creation until the end of the Age of Law.

Know God - 56. Why do people always use the Bible to define God? Why is it wrong if one constrains God within the Bible?

Know God - 56. Why do people always use the Bible to define God? Why is it wrong if one constrains God within the Bible?

The Answer from God’s Word:

This is because the Bible followed several thousand years of human history and people all treat it like God to the point that people in the last days replace God with the Bible. This is something that God really hates. So in His spare time, He had to clarify the inside story and the origin of the Bible. Otherwise, the Bible would still be able to replace God’s place in people’s hearts and they could condemn and measure God’s actions based on the words in the Bible.

The Bible - 55. How did the Bible take shape? What type of book is the Bible exactly?

 The Bible - 55. How did the Bible take shape? What type of book is the Bible exactly?

The Answer from God’s Word:

The things recorded in the Old Testament are Jehovah’s work in Israel, and that which is recorded in the New Testament is the work of Jesus during the Age of Grace; they document the work done by God in two different ages. The Old Testament documents the work of God during the Age of Law, and thus the Old Testament is a historical book, while the New Testament is the product of the work of the Age of Grace. When the new work began, these books became out of date—and thus, the New Testament is also a historical book. Of course, the New Testament is not as systematic as the Old Testament, nor does it record as many things.

The Bible - 54. There are many people that believe that despite the Bible being written by man, all of the words come from the Holy Spirit and are the words of God. Is this correct?

The Bible - 54. There are many people that believe that despite the Bible being written by man, all of the words come from the Holy Spirit and are the words of God. Is this correct?

The Answer from God’s Word:

Today, people believe the Bible is God, and that God is the Bible. So, too, do they believe that all the words of the Bible were the only words God spoke, and that they were all said by God. Those who believe in God even think that although all of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament were written by people, they were all given by inspiration of God, and a record of the utterances of the Holy Spirit. This is the erroneous interpretation of people, and it does not completely accord with the facts. In fact, apart from the books of prophecy, most of the Old Testament is historical record.

God’s Word Is My Strength

                                                  

By Jingnian, Canada

     I have followed my family’s belief in the Lord since I was a child, and often read the Bible and attended meetings. After I got married, I passed the gospel of the Lord Jesus on to my mother-in-law, and after my mother-in-law began believing in the Lord, she no longer lost her temper when things happened or acted entirely on her own whims in the things she did, and the relationships in our family began to improve.

Seeing that I didn’t have a Facebook account they set one up for me, and I gradually learned how to go online and use it.

Gospel Movie Clip "Faith in God" (4) - Is Keeping to the Bible Equivalent to Believing in the Lord?

Most people in the religious world believe that the Bible is the canon of Christianity, that one must hold on to the Bible and base one's belief in the Lord entirely on the Bible, and that one cannot be called a believer if one departs from the Bible. So is a belief in the Lord and a belief in the Bible one and the same? What exactly is the relationship between the Bible and the Lord?
