You’ve essentially answered my point… i agree with you that i dont know if the word in the bible is jehosua’s , however, we dont know if it truly is… i believe the words and the message of love thy neighbor and the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who believe is true…. However being that the oldest known new testament dates to only around ~425, how do we know that his words are accurate in the bible, especially as they were passed down generationally as stories, until written out in a book…. And yes, the vatican scholars are in charge of interpretation of the book, and we all know about the vatican and how compromised they are….
First off, the Vatican is catholic and doesn’t speak for everybody. Secondly for the last 2000 yeaes since the Bible was written, it’s the inly book that has been translated to nearly every language un the world without changing it’s meaning, the only book that many countries have tried to bam, eliminate, destroy, burn etc and have not been able to. Without knowung what the Bible says, how will/do you know what God says to do or not do, what He approves or disapproves of, what He commands us to do or that He gives us grace through faith in His son Jesus and forgives us when we repent of sin and that He wamts a personal relationship with each of us?
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Acts 17:24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,
For Acts you may substitute the word "Bibles" in the place of "temples" God is Love. The Spirit of God is a Holy Spirit of Love. 1 Corinthians 13 Love. The point being is that you, Callmejuls, are not God and are not exhibiting a Christ spirit of Love according to the written word of God. The written word is for you to learn and discern and hold in Your Heart, it is not for You to use as a tool of judgement.
Luke 6:42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Christ dwells within us, written in our very DNA, that allows us to intercede and communicate with God. Judgement and vengeance is for God. Jesus was sent as the example of walking the talk. You have been instructed on the fruits of the Spirit according to Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. If your postings are divisive and judgmental out of hand, while insisting you are "following God's Word" you can see why there is push back.
Consider whether your post is in sync with the Fruits of the Spirit before hitting that SAVE button is all. Do not become a "resounding gong". Not cool.
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Christianity entails know God’s word and doing what He says
Gods word, doesnt come from a book…. But comes from him, within all of us !!!
Can you source that in the Bible?

How is this a reply to what he said?
The message is always more important than the messenger.
