What If We Didn't Have The Bible?

Suppose the Bible didn't exist. What would happen? Would every one who was ever born end up in hell, since nobody would know how to be saved?

Re: What If We Didn't Have The Bible?

Would everyone commit all kinds of sin, since we wouldn't know what God commands us to do or not to do?

Well, the bible says––I just cracked myself up––that the "works of the flesh" are obvious. So I'm guessing that we'd know what is a sin. Doesn't our conscience, the natural order of God, tell us what we shouldn't do and what we should? You, Timothy who hath been set at liberty, don't seem to be very sinful, yet you don't believe in the bible or a "caring God."

But, without the Bible, how would we know that man's righteousness is filthy rags?

We have the bible and people still don't know that! I just responded to a post yesterday in which Miss Brat-something-or-other says that she is, and I quote, "Striving to live righteously." So we have the bible, it declares that man's righteousness is filthy rags, yet here we have a learned, long-time Christian proclaiming that she's "striving to live righteously."

Have you ever read the book of Genesis? None of those men written in that book had a written revelation of God. Yet Enoch knew how to walk with God. Noah preached righteousness, etc...

There ya go! Good examples. They didn't need the Bible. Why do so many seem to think we need it, today?

Is God angry with me for starting this thread?
