Thanks for letting everyone know you have no idea what you’re talking about.

And to add,

So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up; and going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it continued to increase.

The Spirit of Our Father is stronger and bigger than anything man can make.

Because it’s a piece of apocalyptic literature rooted very much in a specific time and place (and it’s not even unique in that regard), but a lot of people view it as prophetic and run off on tangents. It’s tiresome.
So toss out Isaiah, Ezekiel and Daniel as they are similar along those lines?
No. Revelation is a vital part of the Message.

All that matters is the Golden Rule.

Happy All Saints Day!

Buried here in Baton Rouge are my Mom, my Dad, and my older sister.

Mrs. M’s recent knee replacement last Monday has delayed us from visiting them, cleaning up their graves, and placing flowers. It will have to wait until she’s better able to visit them.

On my sister’s tomb stone is her name and a single date.

All Saints Day reminds me that I will finally meet her one day soon. It will be joyous.

Reformation Day’s got nothing on that.

It’s just an amazing thing to behold—two of the very best hymns in the repertoire go back to back.

A Mighty Fortress is Our God followed by For All The Saints.
EIN Feste Burg and Sine Nomine are two of the very best tunes for a congregation to sing. It’s a beautiful thing.

The golden rule is for Christians to abide by. You forgot the first part, which brings about the second part. Matthew 22:36-40

King James Version
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Imagine shouting from the roof tops that the Bible is all you need, and if it’s not in the bible it’s not to be trusted as from God, but can’t point to the verse in the Bible that states the Bible is all you need.

You mean like 2nd Timothy 3:16? All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

To be fair... the presence or lack thereof would have no bearing or effect on whether or not some predict the end of the world...

Did nothing for your case. Scripture needs an interpretation, not dozens, hundreds, or thousands.

You realize that Paul wrote that about 350 years before the first Bible.

Now since all sacred writing need to be read in context here the end of 2 Timothy chapter 3 ch 12-17.

Indeed, all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. But wicked people and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it, and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings that are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work.

Luther was a Catholic and then was excommunicated for revising or you might say reforming the Bible. To suit his theology.

Sure, but that doesn’t have anything to do with this discussion.

From Luther it has devolved all the way down to the "Sparkle Creed".

So God, being who he is, is not able to watch over His word, and preform it? You gotta have a human to come interpret it? Wow.

You miss the point entirely. Is God not God? You left Him out of your entire conversation, but that seems to be pretty commonplace nowadays. I trust that the 66 books written over 1500 years that work perfectly together were and are all I will need to live a Christian life. This is where I stand, Jesus was born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life for 33&1/2 years and willingly gave Himself as a sacrifice on the cross for me. God raised Him from the dead, He revealed Himself to many before ascending into heaven. He sits at the right hand of the Father ever making intercession for all who call upon His name. That’s me. It’s got nothing to do with being any denomination, Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist, or any other.
