One would be foolish to suggest that, or even think that others would do it,
unless they had done that in their past.

The word all points to Jesus. The Gospel Message of the Kingdom of God.

Mat 11:25(25-27) At that epochal, strategic moment of time, Jesus answering
said, I render praise to you, Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, in
joyful acknowledgment and concurrence of the fact that you hid these things
from the wise and understanding ones, and revealed them to those who are
untaught. Even so, Father, because thus it was your good pleasure. All things
to me were delivered by my Father, and no one has a full and experiential
knowledge of the Son except the Father, neither does anyone have a full and
experiential knowledge of the Father except the Son, and he, whoever he may
be, to whom the Son desires to reveal Him.

Many people proclaim the name of the Lord yet have no experiential knowledge
of Jesus, nor he them.
Mat 7:21(21-23) Not everyone who keeps on saying to me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who keeps on doing that which my
Father who is in heaven has determined shall be done. Many shall say to me in
that day, Lord, Lord, did we not in your Name prophesy, and in your Name cast
out demons, and in your Name perform many miracles which demonstrated the
power of God? And then I will declare in a public announcement to them, I
never came to know you experientially. Be going away from me, you who are
working the lawlessness.
These people are lost forever in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone since they
played fast and loose with the name of God.

There has been people in solitary confinement who were saved after reading a
bible. People have been saved by reading a Gideon's Bible in a hotel/motel
room, other people in Jail, also were led to the Lord, after all, it IS all
about Jesus, the word testifies of him.

Anyone who claims the Bible is not the word of God and is of no or little
value does cannot be of God.

print. (2 Tim 3:16)

Christianity existed decades before the existence of the bible. Full stop.

Most of the letters that we now call the New Testament, had not been
gathered together until a century or two after Jesus. All that time
countless souls had heard the gospel and been saved, yet had never seen
or read a bible.

I was saved by grace and baptized by the Spirit IN SPITE OF my rigorous
and frequent study of the bible and church history. Then the Spirit
showed me what God had done. I had been led by the Spirit and by
experience to reject ALL religion, and my heart cried out for God to
help me understand what I should do. I then understood that there is no
salvation in any church or religion, and opened the bible right to
Jeremiah 31:31.

Many who claim to believe in the bible are liars in notorious and
flagrant disobedience to Jeremiah 31:31. There are many of us who have
no need of a teacher at all. We have been conformed to the image of
Jesus and we cannot learn from man about salvation. We can only hear
what the Father and the Son say: "It is finished."

One could probably make a mint selling paper mache or wooden hearts with
little scripture verses on them. But try selling someone the real
contents of their own heart and watch the customers flee.

There has been people in solitary confinement who were saved after reading a
bible. People have been saved by reading a Gideon's Bible in a hotel/motel
room, other people in Jail, also were led to the Lord, after all, it IS all
about Jesus, the word testifies of him.
Anyone who claims the Bible is not the word of God and is of no or little
value does cannot be of God.

Some men have been translated into the kingdom after reading scripture.
I was reading Jeremiah 31 when it hit me exactly what God was doing. The
Spirit told me to stop trying to be righteous and understand what
salvation is and from whence it comes. The very bible I was reading
testified to me that righteousness does not come from reading or obeying
the bible. It comes from hearing the good news and having that imprinted
on the heart. Belief on the Son is obedience, the only obedience that
God wants.

Go read Jeremiah 31. It testifies against the idea that scripture study
breeds salvation. If that were true then why did the scriptorian
Pharisees and the religious mob of Judea crucify Jesus? They were using
their 'bible' as the indictment against him!

Most of the people saved by the twelve Apostles were not saved by
scripture study. They were saved when the Apostles spoke about Jesus
Christ under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit opened their
ears to hear and their eyes to see, and that is why they were saved.

At the same time, it was not the bible that saved me. It was the Spirit
that lead me to read and explained its meaning to me, and opened my eyes
and ears to understand it. The Spirit had already come upon me and
claimed me prior. It led me to the scripture to help me understand what
he was doing with me, not so the words in the book could save me.

The bible itself is a book. God's word is the Spirit which gives
utterance and understanding of the words uttered. That is the Logos in
action. This is what the Christian religion lacks. They have a form of
godliness but deny the power thereof. They try to imprint the power in
the words on paper, in doctrines and credos, while denying the real
power which is spirit.

When men twist the interpretation of the bible to prop up your their
false ideas and confirmation bias then of what value is it if you have a
truckload of magic books or a mountain of bibles?

A hatchet in the hand of a carpenter is a useful and valuable tool. A
hatchet in the hand of a killer is a terrible thing.

The bible is like a hatchet or a sword. In the right hands it builds and
brings justice. In the wrong hands it is a weapon of evil and destruction.

A bible in the hand of an apostle is a mighty medicine. A bible in the
hand of a devil is a mighty poison.

When a liar is holding a bible and using it to terrorize people into
submission to his lunatic ideas, it is not the word of God at all. Then
it is just a chain. That sums of the history of the Christian Church system.

The word of God is spirit breathed and only discerned by the Spirit. The
bible is evidence of his word. But the bible itself is not THE WORD. The
Word is a man, and the power that gives him a voice to our ears is the
Holy Spirit. Countless men who never had a bible were saved by the
testimony of Jesus. The bible is not a magic book. It is evidence of the
real "magic" which is the power of God unto salvation, Jesus Christ.
