Should we seek wisdom?
PR 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
ECC 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

The word happy means blessed. Grief is anger-provocation. So it seems that one had better be mature enough to handle wisdom when it is found.

Are we all sinners?
RO 3:23 For all have sinned
JB 1:1 There was a man... whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright.

The word perfect here means “complete, gentle, dear”, not sinless.

Man’s long hair or short?
JU 8:5 And no razor shall come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb.
1CO 6:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man hath long hair, it is a shame unto him?

The word “nature” is tradition. You should live by the traditions that are acceptable for the majority in order not to be an outcast is basically what Paul is saying here.

Did Abraham have one or two sons?
GA 4:22 Abraham had two sons; one by a bonds-maid, the other by a free woman.
HE 11:17 By faith, Abraham when he was tried offered up Isaac... his only begotten son.

Begotten is “monogene-unique”, Isaac was the only son received in promise.

Do Christians sin?
1JO 3:9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
1JO 3:10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
1JO 1:8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
HE 10:26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.
HE 6:4,6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, ... If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance.

Even Christians sin, but to do so willfully and repeatedly “on purpose” is still living in sin. In 1 JN3:9, continue is “make-agree, abide, commit” and sin is “absolute sin” Same for 1 Jn 1:8, sin is absolute sin/transgression of the law. In Hebrews 10 the sin here is “to miss the mark”, if we do this repeatedly and willfully (Greek-premeditation) after we know the truth than we’re in trouble. In Heb 6, there are 5 steps once enlightened-accepted Jesus as Savior, tasted of the heavenly gift-granted eternal life, shared in the Holy Spirit-received the gifts of the Holy Spirit-talk in tongue, heal, prophecy, etc, tasted the goodness of the word of God-knew God intimately, and the powers of the coming age-knew the kingdom of heaven, then these who do this and then turn away from God and curse Him, will not have another chance.

There are many Christians who have not experienced all of these things. These have a chance to backslide, but always risk the chance of not getting back on track quick enough.

Circumcision or not?
GE 17:7, 10-11 The covenant of circumcision is to be everlasting.
GA 6:15 It is of no consequence.
GA 5:2-3 Listen! I, Paul am telling you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. Once again I testify to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obliged to obey the entire law.
AC 16:3 Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him; and he took him and had him circumcised because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew his father was a Greek

Gen 17 does not say the circumcision would be forever, only the covenant would be forever. Circumcision was only a token which Jesus changed that. The token we should follow today should be the baptism. In Galations, they were teaching that through circumcision salvation was accomplished. Paul was telling them that if that was the case, the Jesus wouldn’t have been of any benefit. Only through Jesus can salvation be obtained, not circumcision. Paul had Timothy circumcised only to keep the peace, for without Timothy being circumcised, they would not have listened to him and his teachings. Basically, it’s your reasoning and purposes of what determines if it’s right or wrong.

Clean or unclean food?
LE 3:17 This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live: you must not eat any fat or any blood.
MT 15:11 what goes into a man’s mouth, does not make him unclean, but what comes out.
Colo 2:20-22 Paul say such rules are based on human commands and teachings

The “generations to come” have come and went. And there are generations that follow. During the time of Jesus, it became known to follow God’s rules, not mans’. It’s what’s in a man’s heart and mind (his true intentions) that makes him clean or unclean. Again, Jesus came and brought us out from the old covenant.

Was Peter for the Jews or Gentiles?
MT 10:2, 5-6 Peter was to be an apostle to the Jews and not go near the Gentiles.
AC 15:7 He was an apostle to the Gentiles.

While Jesus was here on earth, the disciples had a mission to tell all the Jews (as much as possible) that their Messiah had arrived. When they refused Him, this gave way for the Gentiles to accept Him (again, God’s ultimate plan). When Jesus left-He gave the disciples their new mission to tell ALL the world.

Do we obey man’s laws?
AC 5:19, 12:6-11 The disciples take part in a jailbreak made possible by an angel.
AC 5:40-42 The disciples disobey the Council and continue to teach and preach Jesus.
RO 13:1-4, 1PE 2:13-15 Obey the laws of men (i.e., government). It is the will of God.

God’s law will always override evil or immoral laws. In Acts, they didn’t escape, but waited around to be picked back up again. As long as the laws does not contradicts God, we have a moral obligation to follow them, no matter how unfair it seems. Verse 3 tells the rulers they are not to terrorize good works and should do away with evil. If they do not stay along this line, then they are not following God’s commands. It is evil to tell someone not to preach about Jesus or to be locked up for it. Their “law” contradicted God’s.

Do believers talk to unbelievers about their faith?
2TI 2:14-16 Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen........Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
2TI 3:1-7 having form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them...never able to acknowledge the truth.
2JN 1:10-11 Anyone who even greets an unbeliever shares his wicked work.
1PE 3:15 Always be ready to answer any man concerning your faith.

The verses plainly say “quarreling” It doesn’t say never to tell them the truth. In 2 Timothy 3, he’s talking about people who say they’re Christians, but still inwardly, and many times outwardly, do not live for God and then refuses to change when their wrongdoing is pointed out to them. In 2 John, it’s not talking about an unbeliever, he’s talking about a false Christian religion. You shouldn’t follow, per se, Mohammed because he denies Jesus was the Son of God but he was. Sun Yun Moon claims that Jesus had been sent by God but didn’t do the job right, so God sent Moon instead. These are the types of people that we were warned against associating with-to share in their wicked beliefs-adopting their teachings instead of Jesus’.

Was it the same earth the ark lifted off of that it sat on?
II PE 3:6 "Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished." (7)"But the heavens and the earth, which now are . . ."

No, it was a different earth. You couldn’t expect to see the same type of earth after a flood as great as this one was. That’s just common sense. But the world that perished again was referring to the social system of that day. And Jesus warns that in the end times that same type of social system would be back. How close are we to that now!?

Who can be saved?
JN 12:32 “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me
MT 20:16 “For many be called, but few chosen." (Matt. 20, 16)
MT 15:24 "But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
MT 10:5-6. "These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not; But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
JN 4:22 The Christ told the woman of Samaria, --"Salvation is of the Jews."
AC 13:48 When Paul "turned to the Gentiles.....And as many as were ordained to eternal life believed."
RO 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord [Yahveh] shall be saved."
EPH 1:4-5"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, ... having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will."
1PE 1:2"Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit."
RM 5:6 “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."
2TH 2:13"Because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth."
LK 13:23-24 "Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."
RO 15:13 AC 2:21 et al.. "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord [Yahveh] shall be saved."
RO 9:11,15,16,18 "For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth. ... For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. ... Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth."

When you are born into this world, your name is written in the Book of Life. You are given the gift of eternal life at that time. When you reach the age of knowing right from wrong, then you are in danger of losing that gift. God will continue to give you the opportunity of accepting and adopting the gift many many many times. However, if you refuse to accept it for yourself and refuse to adopt the laws that God has given us to live by, then you can and eventually on a final chance will be blotted out of that Book. Or if you only do it half-heartedly, or decide the walk is just too hard and then give the gift back, your name will be blotted out. Again, God will give many chances, but there comes a time when He will know you have made the final decision, never to change your mind and then He will stop offering you that gift. Every one somewhere in their lifetime will be given a chance and will feel that tug, some greater and more often than others. He knows who’s going to accept and who’s not. But ALL have the gift, but only if accepted.

What about the Law?
GA 2:16 "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."
RO 3:28,31"Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. ... Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."
RO 2:12-13 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart form the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
RO 2:14-16 Indeed when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them. This will take place on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
1PE 1:9 "Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls."
AC 13:39 "And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."
MT 5:17-18"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
LK 16:16"The law and the prophets were until John; since that time the kingdom of God is preached."
RO 6:14 "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."
GAL 3:24-25 So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.
RO 7:1"The law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth."
RO 7:6 "But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held."
GAL 3:10-13 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, “the righteous will live by faith.” The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, “the man who does these things will live by them.” Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us"
RO 4:14-15"For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression."
RO 3:19-20 Now we know that what things so ever the law saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.
1JN 2:27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all thins and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit-just as it has taught you, remain in him.
RO 4:9-10 Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness. Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before!
JA 2:21 Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
GAL 3:19,22-23 "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed
1JN 3:4 "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."
RO 7:12-14 "Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. ... For we know that the law is spiritual."
MT 5:17-19 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. [See also LK 16:17]
EP 2:13-15 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations.
HE 7:18-19 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless for the law made nothing perfect, and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
RO 7:4 So, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
GA 5:2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be no value to you at all.
AC 21:23-25 .... DO WHAT WE TELL YOU. We have four men who are under a vow. Join these men, go through the rite of purification with them, and pay for the shaving of their heads. THUS ALL WILL KNOW THAT THERE IS NOTHING IN WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT YOU, BUT THAT YOU YOURSELF OBSERVE AND GUARD THE LAW. But as for the Gentiles who have become believers, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication."

Wow, a lot of scripture given here that same basically the same thing. First I will point out those that aren’t quite right--Roman 7:1 This was not a statement, but a question that was asked which if you look at the line right below it, you will see the answer to the question. James 2:21 vs 22 “See how faith wrought his works? By faith made perfect (complete) Romans 7:12-14 Though the Law is spiritual, it’s still not what saves us! And that’s not said here at all.

The Law does not justify us, only Jesus can (justify--JUST AS IF I had never done it) And unbelievers will be judged by the Law since they never accepted Jesus as their Savior. When you become a Christian, you are no longer answerable to the Law, only God and Jesus. There are many who think they can “work” their way into heaven by obeying the Law and this is who Paul, et al, were talking to. Serving the Law doesn’t do it-living for Jesus does.

However, this does not dismiss us from the commandments Jesus gave us-we still should strive to do good so we won’t have to be shameful when we see Him-but joyful, ecstatic, etc. I want to hear those words--”well done, my good and faithful servant.”

Is it works or grace that saves us?
EPH 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; ... not of works."
RO 1:17 As it is written; The just shall live by faith."
RO 4:1-3 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. For what saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
JA 2:14,17 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? ... Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
JA 2:20-21 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
GAL 3:6-7"Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
JA 2: 22-24, 26 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. ... For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
GAL 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
RO 3:28,31 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. ... Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."
RO 2:13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
1PE 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls."
RO 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
1PE 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
AC 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
RO 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

This one is simple and if you read the passages, you will find it that way too. I will admit, Paul loves to talk in circles in order to get his point across, one just needs to follow his thought processes. Grace is the only way we are saved. Except for the grace of God, there are no works that can save us, or give us eternal life. However, when and after we are saved, we will do the works without even thinking about it. They go together like when the sun goes down, the stars come out. It just goes hand in hand.

Belief or unbelief brings on mercy?
RO 11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
GA 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
RO 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief."
2TH 2:11,12 And for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not them

Okay, a few translation glitches here. In Romans 11:32, it should literally read For God hath embraced them all in disobedience, that he might have compassion upon all. Galations 3:22 substitute concluded with embraced again and change believe to “have faith.” Then in Romans 11:30 change unbelief to disobedience. So if those who turn from their disobedience and have faith, then they will have compassion from God. And what an act of love-to put all men on the same status so He could give to those who chose Him and not because of those who did only right and sin!!! We are all sinners and disobedient children. Not that we believe or disbelieve, but obey or disobey!

In 2 Thes, Paul is talking about the endtimes for those who refused to obey.

Trip to Jerusalem
GAL 1:18-24 & 2:1-1 Paul says that during this period of his ministry he went but twice to Jerusalem.
ACTS 9:6-30 & 11:27-30 & 12:25 & 15:1-4 contradicts this and says Paul went to Jerusalem not twice, but three times during this period.

Paul didn’t say he only went twice. In Galations, he only told of two journeys. The first journey was about 3 years after his conversion. The disciples wouldn’t listen to him. Barnabas took him to them ad Paul told his story. He was there for about 15 days and went to Tarsus. The second journey was seemingly before the second story told in Galations. Barnabas sent for Paul and brought him to Antioch. They stayed there for about a year and then was sent to the elders in Jerusalem about dearth. In the last trip recorded in Acts is the trip Paul was talking about in Galations. It was about 14 years after his first trip (that makes him about 17 as a Christian). There’s no reason why Paul couldn’t have taken another trip in between the two accounts in Galations.

Who saw what?
AC 9:7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone.
AC 21:9 My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me.
AC 26:14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice....

Acts 21 & 26 are Paul relaying the story to other groups they simply recorded his words-apparently Paul’s memory wasn’t too sharp on the details of those standing around him. Would your have been if Jesus appeared to you in a blinding bright light in the middle of the road?

Why the trip to Jerusalem?
GAL 2:1-2 Paul says his second journey to Jerusalem was in response to a revelation. And in a private meeting, with only the leaders of the Jerusalem church, he set before them the gospel he reached among the Gentiles.
ACTS 15:1-6 Barnabas and Paul were sent to Jerusalem by the church in Antioch to receive instructions in settling a dispute over circumcision. And contradicting Paul's account of revealing his gospel in a private meeting with just the leaders of the Jerusalem church, Acts says immediately upon entering the Jerusalem church, Barnabas and Paul reported everything to the entire assembly concerning all their work among the Gentiles.

Paul didn’t say whom the revelation was from. The word “revelation” here was simply “disclosure” therefore, not necessarily from God. And the accounts as reported above are absolutely incorrect!! Galations 2:2 “and communicated unto them that gospel which I preached among the Gentiles (Acts 15:4 all things that God had done) but privately to the leaders (Acts 15:6 and the apostles and elders together)..... So you see obviously in both accounts that Paul first told them of what he had been up to, and then met with them in private.

Paul said he lied about God’s truth??
RO 3:7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?"

Paul was not talking about himself as the liar, he said if someone should use the aforementioned statement as an argument to keep from being condemned....he one verse later says that person deserves their condemnation! Verse 8 says “as we be slanderously reported and some affirm we say” In other words, some one has lied and said that that was the way he was.

Paul tricked the Corinthians??
2CO 12:15-16 Though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. But be it so: ... nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile 1TH 2:3 Paul says that he does not use trickery.

Seems Paul was accusing them of that being their feelings towards him, he later asks did I send you anyone to deceive you---I need to look deeper in this. .........Done. Yep, he was using their words, not his. He did refute them by asking them, how could you say this? Who have I ever sent to trick you? He was being sarcastic here. And with such tremendous use as it is used today, we all should know what sarcasm is!

Is Paul the Pretender and/or a user??
1CO 9:19-23 I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, that I might gain them that are without law. ... I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel's sake"
2CO 11:8 I robbed other churches ... to do you service

What Paul was saying was we shouldn’t purposely cause people to stumble. He wasn’t doing this as an “act” but out of respect. If you’re a non-smoker, would you want someone smoking in your house when they came by to visit and then start preaching to you? As far as him robbing other churches, he simply meant that he had to use some of his gifts from other churches to help these people through since they didn’t or couldn’t supply his needs.

Paul’s trip to Damascus & Jerusalem?
AC 9:19-28 Shortly after his conversion, Paul went to Damascus, then Jerusalem where he was introduced to the Apostles by Barnabas, and there spent some time with them (going in and out among them).
GA 1:15-20 He made the trip three years later, then saw only Peter and James.

Acts doesn’t say he went shortly, he went to Arabia first.

Paul-to preach in Asia?
AC 16:6 The Holy Spirit forbids preaching in Asia.
AC 19:8-10 Paul preaches in Asia anyway.

In chapter 16, the people weren’t ready for Paul and his preaching. It doesn’t say that Paul never could go to Asia. Later on, in chapter 19, at least some of the people were ready to receive him and his teachings.

Where is it written?
MT 12:5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple desecrate that day and yet are innocent? (No such statement is found in the OT.)

Lev 24:3-Aaron, the priest, is to tend the lamps before the Lord continuously, even on the Sabbath. Lev 24:9-Aaron and his sons eat the burnt meat. Lev 24:8 Sabbath after Sabbath, he is to put bread out.

These are all considered work not to be done on the Sabbath, but because they were priests and this was necessary to be done, they could do it and not go against God’s commandments.

MK 1:2 It is written in Isaiah the prophet, I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way.....” (No such statement appears in Isaiah, it appears in our today’s Malachi.)

Malachi was part of the Book of Isaiah, as explained earlier.

MK 10:19 You know the commandments: “Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.” [Defraud is not one of the Ten Commandments]

Lev 19:13 This shows we need to pay attention to more than the Ten we’ve adopted!

JN 7:38 “Whosoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him. (No such statement is found in the OT.)

Though I couldn’t find any true complete statements, here are a few verses that could apply Song of Solomon 4:5 Jeremiah 2:13 and 17:13. However, there are no talk about the living water flowing from within man.

JN 17:12 None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. (Note: no such statement if found in the OT)

Psalms 41:9 Even my close friend, whom I trusted, he who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

JN 20:9 They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead. (No such statement is found in the OT.)

Psalms 16:10 because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.

AC 20:35 Quotes Jesus as having said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." (No such statement of Jesus is found elsewhere in the Bible.)

Luke or some others apparently heard Him say it, doesn’t mean He didn’t simply because it wasn’t written down.

RO 10:11 As the Scripture says, “Everyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame. (Orig scripture ISA 28:16 says will never be dismayed......no such statement in the OT.)

Isaiah 28:16 dismayed and shame could be a result of double translation, from Old Hebrew to Greek to English. And each one, though not completely, could be interchangeable.

JA 4:5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us tends toward envy, but he gives us more grace? (not found in the OT.)

could be Gen 6:5, 8:21, Numbers 11:29 or Proverbs 21:10, but nothing direct.

JU 9 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said “The Lord rebuke you.” [not found anywhere in the OT]

There are no Biblical writings on this other than Jude, so there must be more Scriptures out there than what we have in our hands. I hope some day we’ll find them again!

JU 14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam prophesied about these men: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousand of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against them. [Enoch is not included in the Bible]

Same as above.

1CO 4:6 Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying “Do not go beyond what is written.” [they used secular then]

And here we know that Paul used simply a saying, not scripture only.
