A question

In Titus 1:1-4, it is said that "faith" and "knowledge of the truth" will lead to eternal life. This is based on the promises of God revealed through His Word in the bible. That is why Paul is so much against false teacher, since false teachers teach something that is not the truth or slightly different to the truth ..

Nah .. the question is, how can we be sure that our current knowledge of the bible is true? Since if it is not, we are in a danger of
1. Be the false teacher
2. Not gaining the eternal life ..

Any thoughts? any comments are welcomed ..

may be u should ask question back to urself " is ur knowledge of the bible is according to whats written in the bible??"

if its not then its wrong, if its yes, then its right..so i guess, everything we know, we have to look back to the bible....

and yah if u preach other gospel, u'll be eternally condemned as said in Galatians 1:6-10

cindy, what a late bird u r, 2 am post =)

keep feeding yourself with God's word, keep asking whether my understanding is what the Bible means, by this it must involve reading it more than once. a progressive revelation, the more you study, the better the understanding. yet, what could be more relieving than knowing the fact that the Spirit who breathed out God's word is the agent who gives the understanding. so pray for more Spirit-led Bible readings.


standard answers i know, but woe to those who think that

standard answers are boring, perhaps you want to invent more things than what has been written?

sorry, double posts. the 3rd paragraph was not meant to be posted, forgot to delete it, so, just try to make more sense out of it by posting the remaining sentence, but it doesn't seem to turn out so. if anyone don't understand, it never meant to be =)

yeah .. I guess you will never know fully until you meet God .. but the bible is quite clear about many things and we should have an attitude that always want to be changed by the Word Of God ..

Never afraid coz God is faithful and He will bring the work in each Christians into completion ..
