Is it in the Bible? The the Bible tell us so?

Question

Some questions for those who refuse to believe anything, if they cannot find it in the Bible. Tell me then, how can you find answers to these questions?

1. Show me in the Bible the list of inspired books in it? If you cannot find such a list then how do you know the book you call the Bible is the Bible?
2. Show me in the Bible where the word "Trinity" is defined? If you cannot find the word in the Bible, then why do you believe in the doctrine? From where did the word "Trinity" come?
3. Same question for the word "Incarnate"?
4. Show me in the Bible where the Bible tells you that all the books within it are inspired?
5. Show me in the Bible where Jesus said what Luke said He said in this verse?
"...and REMEMBER the WORD of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'." Acts 20:35
6. Show me in Scripture the reference of Matthew 2:23 that "he shall be called a Nazarene"?
7. Show me in Scripture the reference of Matthew 5:43 that "you s

YOU CANT BECAUSE ITS NOT THEIR
so if you cant get it from the bible sola scriptura is false because these terms were made by men

Answer 1

Your cut and paste job didn't even get all of the words -- you were in such a hurry to attack people with whom you disagree.

All of your angry will eat you up.

I'm praying for you, brother.

Know that you are loved.

Godspeed.

Answer 2

1. The list of inspired books is the table of contents - when the Bible was put together in the 4th century, the church leaders decided then what they believed were the god-inspired books. 2 Timothy 3:16, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." So, what people need to decide is what is scripture - which Christians decided means the Bible. Catholics have their version and Protestants theirs (Catholic Bible has about 5 additional books that the Protestants don't acknowledge as god-inspired).

2. Trinity is not defined in the Bible in that term, but there are numerous Bible verses harmonized to come up with the concept. Read this: http://www.gotquestions.org/Trinity-Bible.html

3. Incarnate? Not sure what you mean? Incarnate is a word, but not one used in the Bible, and not sure what you're asking here.

4. See question 1 above.

5. Well, nothing in the Bible was actually written by Jesus. All the Books that quote Jesus are verses that someone else is saying what Jesus said. So, your question is nonsensical. There's no place in the Bible where Jesus is writing what he himself said.

6. Matthew 2:23 just says that prophets had said he would be called a Nazarene - a person from Nazareth. There doesn't need to be another verse in the Bible about that.

7. Matthew 5:43 -- Leviticus 19:18

Answer 3

I too believe that God is in us all and with it a power that is often not recognized. I do base this on the religious education I received growing up, although I also see the Bible as inspired writing and not to be taken literally. But there is need for caution here. It is one thing to believe we have God's power within us, and another to come to believe we are God. This latter has been the cause of many a religious leader (or a Charles Manson) to destroy rather than build. I don't think anyone can predict an exact time that events will take place no matter how gifted they may be. How often over the years has the end of the world been predicted - and not taken place? My own conviction that God is within all has come about through the realization that friends of mine, though claiming to be atheists, have demonstrated frequently that they are capable of the type of self sacrifice and kindness that comes from love and where there is love, there is God. There are however people who hate and I have difficulty in finding where God is within such people - but I believe He is still present but hidden in such people. I also agree that it is up to us to make what changes we believe should be made to improve the world near or far.

Answer 4

Thanks you for your question, Ask and you shall receive.
1 2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
2. from Latin trinus threefold
1 : the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead according to Christian dogma

As far as a “biblical definition, you wont find it as a word, however you do see the trinity in......

19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

3. : to make incarnate: as a : to give bodily form and substance to,

John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

4. See # 1, you repeated your question in a round about way.

5. 25Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

Kinda sums it up, Has every word that anyone has spoke ever been recorded?

6. Matthew
23and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene


Mark 14:67
When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him. "You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus," she said.
Mark 14:66-68 (in Context) Mark 14 (Whole Chapter) Mark 16:6
"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.
Mark 16:5-7 (in Context) Mark 16 (Whole Chapter) Acts 24:5
"We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect

Answer 5

This is tough .I don't have a Bible with me.Paul said all scripture is given by inspiration.The trinity is taught,not the word ,but the concept.
1) Genesis 1 "God created the heavens and the earth and the Spirit of God hovered over the waters".
So God the Father was there and so was the Holy Spirit at creation.Now read John1,Collosians 1 and Hebrews 1 ,and you will see that Jesus was doing the creating also.That means all three of them were there.
2) a. Peter says "God who raised Jesus from the dead"...
b. Paul says "the Spirit of God that raised Jesus..."
c. Jessus says "I have the power to lay down my life,and the power to take it back up again"...
3) "I and the Father are one"...Jesus said.
4) "Before Abraham was...I AM" Jesus claimed to be the voice of the burning bush.
5) Peter said in Acts 5 to Annanias.."You have lied to the Holy Ghost....you have not lied to man but to God".
Daniel says "I watched in the night visions and one like the Son of Man(Jesus) came to the Ancient of Days(God the father)"....Now that is two separate people .
In John 1 ,it says, "In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) and the word was with God and the word was God ,the same was in the beginning with God...He came and dwelt among us." Dwelt among us in the Greek means ..He took on a tent of human flesh....that's incarnate.
Not everything Jesus said was written down ,some was just passed orally.
In Isaiah,Jeremiah,and Micah ,the Messiah is referred to as "The Branch" out of the root of David. Branch is "Netzer" where you get the word Nazarene."He is to be the "Netzer "from the root of David.
I don't know off hand what Matthew 5:43 is.

Answer 6

These are all separate questions. Ask them appropriately and I'd be happy to answer. But I'd be happy to answer question 6:

First, Matthew does not say 'prophet', singular. He says 'prophetS', plural -- so that tells you that it's necessary to look in SEVERAL places, not just one. It could be that Matthew was referring to several Old Testament references to the despised character of Jesus (i.e., Psalm 22:6, 13; 69:10; Isaiah 49:7; 53:3; Micah 5:1). Nazareth held the Roman garrison for the northern areas of Galilee. Therefore, the Jews would have little to do with this place and largely despised it. Perhaps this is why it says in John 1:46, "And Nathanael said to him, 'Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?' Philip said to him, 'Come and see.'" So, it could be a reference not to an actual location, but the maligned character of the Messiah even as Nazareth was maligned for housing the Roman garrison and that Matthew was using it in reference to the implied hatred of Christ.

Second, there could be a play on words that Matthew was referring to. In Isaiah 11:1 it says, "Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit. In Hebrew, the word for "branch" is netzer, "NZR" which letters are included in NaZaReth. It seems that Matthew was referring to the branch, the Nazarene, in turn a reference to God's raising up of the Messiah. Clearly, Matthew was not exegeting Isaiah, but it seems he was referring to the Branch.

Answer 7

2. Show me in the Bible where the word "Trinity" is defined? If you cannot find the word in the Bible, then why do you believe in the doctrine? From where did the word "Trinity" come?
3. Same question for the word "Incarnate"?

The Bible says nothing about these things.

According to the trinity doctrine, there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Spirit. The three persons of the Godhead are coequal and co-eternal.

Is this what the Bible says? No. There is not a single verse that describes God as being made up of 3 coequal, co- eternal persons. Go ahead and look; you won't find it.

The Bible does not say Jesus is God incarnate. Instead, it says that Jesus is God's Son, not God himself.

Answer 8

I'm amused by the answerer who said that because he is not an electrician he doesn't know how elecricity works, he only knows that it does, and that's called "faith". Ahh but the difference is that while HE may not know how electricity works there are humans all over the place who know precisely how it works, which means that humanity doesn't rely on "faith" for that information because anybody who chooses to can LEARN how it works from those who already know.

That differs significantly from religious "faith" where absolutely nobody on the planet KNOWS the real truth about any of it. You can belieeeeve something truly, sincerely, passionately, and have aaaaall the faith in the universe. That still does not satisfy the required burdon of absolute unarguable, indisputable, incontrovertible, irrefutable "proof" that you have to deliver to others, before you can say that you "know" something for a fact.

Answer 9

1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Though the word "trinity" isn't in this Scripture, this is where the doctrine comes from.

Answer 10

You want an intellectual answer, and that isn't enough. You must be born again. That is why there are so many denominations of Christianity. Everyone tries to talk the other into their conclusion. True Christians will not be found among them, because they know it is impossible to describe to the blind what it is like to see.
