Dear Mark;
How have you been? I continue to pray for you each Sabbath in Temple.
As far as the Bible and other works. Only the Bible can be demonstrated to be the true Word of God. This includes the New Testament. The other works I mention may be interesting and contain useful knowledge they are worthless in terms of knowing God.
In The 10 Commandments, God tells us not to worship other gods, and not to worship false idols. The Hebrew word that is used is the word for trash. Beyond that these works are actually dangerous. I understand that you find these words harsh and I am sorry if you are offended. The scripture I trust tells me that if I do not warn my fellow men and women then I will be in some way responsible for their fate, which if they do not know Yeshua will be horrific.
Act 20:20-21 [And] how I kept back nothing that was profitable [unto you], but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Just because a man writes something in a book and claims it is from God it does not become profitable. God can and has spoken for Himself in the Bible. What you or I think about it can never change that truth.
If you are interested I have an article which demonstrates the Bible as God's word. If you PM me with your address and I will send it to you.
Shalom - DLL |
