    The Catholics taught me that... remember the sign of the cross; in the name of the father, the son, the Holy Ghost. Catholic caticism. But didn’t know the first thing about being born again, regenerated until I first experienced it and then inquired about it... then it was confirmed via scripture.

    For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead

    Your starting premise is really outlandish!

    God speaks through natural revelation, if no written scriptures, could not the Holy Spirit have chosen to speak to us thru dreams and visions?

    I asked questions first and you responded with your questions instead of answers. By the way, You are definitely not right. There is not even a miniscule chance you are right.

    You of course are welcome to your opinion. But I noticed you still have not answered any of the questions that were asked to you so go back make make a list of them and then put your answer I've done it for you in a couple of the post I put five or six to your post or tweets up and ask questions because you're not interacting with the actual issue

    Let's see...

    An over-the-road truck driver, self-taught on theology, knows more about the Bible than people with a bachelor's degree, plus a postgraduate education in theology, pastoral studies, and Bible studies.

    Not saying I have this type of education but I know several people you've interacted with in the past have it and right here in this thread DO have this type of education, yet they do not understand. But you do.

    I wonder what people did up through the 1500's when there was no easy access to scripture? Must not have known about Jesus. God must not have been doing any unconditional electing of people, either, I guess...

    Romans 1:20-21
    For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

    That may very well be correct my friend. Someone could claim all kind of credentials and have this and have that I've seen people claim such things and not even be Christians.
    They could be living in open Disobedience to God's commands and God can withhold Knowledge from them. You also have educated apostates by John Shelby Spong and some of these other people who have a lot of degrees and and what kind of teaching and their apostate from the faith. If a person for example if a person is a false witness against other professors Believers chances are God's not going to prosper their knowledge in fact it'll be withheld or they'll go into a confused State and I've seen that happen several times unfortunately

    Since the time of Moses that I've been scriptures. People had old testament's but before the printing press yeah they had they had to communicate based on what scripture said because any true knowledge of God has come through the scriptures that there were times when it was direct communication between God and man but those times or ceased

    One does not have to be saved to be on the Baptist Board. One only has to profess to be a Christian and to post on the Baptist section to be a Baptist. (We have no way of determining if a member is saved).

    No bible right?
    Who is God?
    What is moral law?
    If no scripture we are unsaved pagans
    The responses that you're offering based on scripture but discussing what if there was no scripture how would you make these responses how would you know there is a God or his character how would you know if God is holy or not holy you would have no idea whatsoever just think of a person in the middle of the rain forest yeah he can look up like it says in Romans 1 and he can know you know that the heavens declare there's a God or he wouldn't know anything about him though. So what religions were religions do is make up their own idea of who God is what God requires and what works and rituals are they at 2 satisfyer appease the gods or whatever it is that they believe that's why in Romans one right after it says men are without excuse it goes on to explain that God gave them over to a reprobate mind because they turned from a true knowledge of God when it was a true knowledge of God to be hot and so what's left is religion where they invent their own religion and their own carnal philosophy that's the whole point of this thread.
