Signs of perilous times!
Pitting red against black, Christ's word
against His Apostles'!!!
One David said:
In the Synoptic Gospels, we have records of
words spoken by JESUS, Son of GOD, quoted in red ink. The rest of the New
Testament are the words of man, inspired by the Holy Spirit of GOD.
The word "doctrine" refers to a
body of teachings of a religious, political, or philosophical group, or
principle or body of principles that is taught or advocated. Doctrines are thus
of man, not GOD.
Apostle Paul was the main character or person
who wrote the exhortations in the epistles and wrote the "doctrines"
that form the foundations of the "Christian" religion. (" But thou hast fully known my
doctrine". 2 Tim 3:10 ).
Paul's doctrine, inspired no doubt by the
Holy Spirit.
But then, JESUS said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples, Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" John 8: 31,32.
JESUS promised, " But when he, the
Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth". John 16:13.
The Holy Spirit speaks to and leads disciples
of JESUS even today as to the early apostles. Doctrines are from the apostles, men who lead the ekklesia, now
called "church".
But the individual disciple must depend on
the Holy Spirit, not man, "to teach you in all things, and bring all
things to your remembrance, whatsoever i have said unto you" John 14:26.
AMEN.

I replied:
Brother David,
I'm neither rude nor harsh. I'm very blunt, so if you don't like my blunt
manner... you know what to do. Look for someone with "good words and fair
speeches [that] deceive the hearts of the simple." Rom 16:18
What the Apostles taught are the very things
Christ Himself commanded them to teach His church. "... teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you
alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." Matt 28:20b.
The Lord Himself taught the Apostles, and
they faithfully delivered that body of truth to the saints.
John 14:26 and 16:13 you quoted was
specifically addressed to the Apostles... that the Holy Spirit shall bring all
things that Jesus taught them to their remembrance, and will guide them into
all truth SO THAT that body of truth might be fully and faithfully delivered to
the NT church through their inspired writing.
Jude 3 ¶ Beloved, when I gave all diligence
to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto
you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was
once delivered unto the saints.
The Apostles were Christ's official
representatives and spokesmen:
1:1 ¶
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the
fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath
in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of
all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
The words of Christ in red ink is only a very
TINY FRACTION of the teaching of Christ during His public ministry. Apostle
John declared this:
John 20:
30 And many other signs truly did
Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
31 But
these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
John 21:25 And there are also many other
things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I
suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be
written. Amen.
Do you actually believe this PLAIN and SIMPLE
Scriptures: "16 ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and IS
PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto
all good works." 2Tim 3
I'm amazed that there are believers who are
impudent enough to put a DIVISION between Christ's red words and the black in
the rest of the NT Scriptures!!! That must surely be another indication of the
perilous time!!!
David, you and I are on completely DIFFERENT
PAGE.
