1) Where did Jesus give
instructions that the Christian faith should be based exclusively on a book?
Jesus commanded the Christian faith be based
solely upon God's Word which exists only in scripture.
It is written:
Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither
shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the
LORD your God which I command you.
Jesus through Moses (2 Tim 3:16) commanded the
Word of God be undiminished by traditions of men, precisely because God
intended we follow His commandments, above those of men.
As the Word of God (John 1:1) it is Jesus who speaks as YHWH LORD in the Old
Testament John 12:41 Isaiah 6:1; Zechariah 12:3; John 1:1 with Genesis 3:8.
Therefore it is certain Jesus ordained a clear divide separate His
Word....from those of men, so that His Word have supreme authority.
