That isn't true. If the message doesn't truly come from the word og the Lord, then it is not true. For example, today, us Christians take Ellen G. White's sayings as the truth, because she was a prophet of the Lord. That is why we believe in the Bible, because it was filled with what God told them to say. Not word by word, but His word anyway.

Who told you that? There's an awful lot of truth outside the Bible. Jesus said that there was more stuff we needed to know, but that we (humankind) weren't ready for it yet. The Holy Spirit is constantly revealing new truths.
Of course, one can also argue that all truth is in the Bible, we just aren't smart enough to figure it all out, yet. For example, we are just now beginning to figure out that the Bible does NOT condemn homosexuality; that's a new truth, but it's been in the Bible all along.

My opinion, don't believe too whole heartedly into the bible there are things that many people have taken out of the bible to keep secrets so go to this place and see if it doesn't answer your question and in return give you more questions as well.........

I am not defending the opposite position. I would just like to point out that in the bible it references other books. If you read just the old testament you will see in Kings for example reference to the Chronicles of that particular tribe or king. So not even the bible claims exclusivity when it comes to truth.

hmmm is perfectly right. If you're not sure of the best way to live, you need to know the Bible. Not only that, you need to give your life to Jesus Christ and then find a Bible believing Word of God church. Try it, it'll be the best thing that ever happened to you in this world, because there is another world that we will face when we die. It WILL be either the world of the devil (hell) or the world Jesus went to prepare for his saints (heaven).

Through the study of Scripture and the Church Fathers, we see that, not only is the Catholic faith biblical, Catholicism is Bible Christianity par excellence.
Because the Old and New Testament Scriptures are the divinely-revealed, written Word of God, Catholics venerate the Scriptures as they venerate the Lord's body. But Catholics do not believe that God has given us His divine Revelation in Christ exclusively through Scripture. Catholics also believe that God's Revelation comes to us through the Apostolic Tradition and teaching authority of the Church.
What Church? Scripture reveals this Church to be the one Jesus Christ built upon the rock of Saint Peter (Matt. 16:18). By giving Peter the keys of authority (Matt. 16:19), Jesus appointed Peter as the chief steward over His earthly kingdom (cf. Isaiah. 22:19-22). Jesus also charged Peter to be the source of strength for the rest of the apostles (Luke 22:32) and the earthly shepherd of Jesus' flock (John 21:15-17). Jesus further gave Peter, and the apostles and elders in union with him, the power to bind and loose in heaven what they bound and loosed on earth. (Matt. 16:19; 18:18). This teaching authority did not die with Peter and the apostles, but was transferred to future bishops through the laying on of hands (e.g., Acts 1:20; 6:6; 13:3; 8:18; 9:17; 1 Tim. 4:14; 5:22; 2 Tim. 1:6).
By virtue of this divinely-appointed authority, the Catholic Church determined the canon of Scripture (what books belong in the Bible) at the end of the fourth century. We therefore believe in the Scriptures on the authority of the Catholic Church. After all, nothing in Scripture tells us what Scriptures are inspired, what books belong in the Bible, or that Scripture is the final authority on questions concerning the Christian faith. Instead, the Bible says that the Church, not the Scriptures, is the pinnacle and foundation of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15) and the final arbiter on questions of the Christian faith (Matt. 18:17). It is through the teaching authority and Apostolic Tradition (2 Thess. 2:15; 3:6; 1 Cor. 11:2) of this Church, who is guided by the Holy Spirit (John 14:16,26; 16:13), that we know of the divine inspiration of the Scriptures, and the manifold wisdom of God. (cf. Ephesians 3:10).

Who said that? I don't limit truth to the Bible. Truth can be found in many things in many places. But if it's in the Bible, it's true.
