[These] were more noble than [Those] in Thessalonica,
in that [they received the word] with [all] readiness of mind,
AND [searched the scriptures] daily,
whether [those things] were so.
Acts 17:11 KJV

Do we act according to THESE or THOSE for our answers to OUR questions ?
or
Do we seek OUR answers to OUR questions through OTHER sources rather than the [scriptures ?]

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but [every man] a liar; [as it is written], That thou mightiest be [justified] in all sayings, and mightest [overcome] WHEN thou are judged.

If ye abide in me, [and my words] abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 15:7 KJV

And ye [now] therefore have sorrow: [but] I [will] see you again, and your heart shall [rejoice,] and your [joy] NO MAN taketh from you. And [in that day] ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, Verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father [in my name,] he will give it you.
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: [ask,] and ye shall receive, [that your joy be full.]
John 16:22-24 KJV

For this is the will of God,[even your sanctification,] that ye should abstain from fornication: That every [one] of you [should know how to possess his vessel] in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God; That [no man] go beyond and [defraud] his brother in [any] matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have [forewarned] you and [testified.]
1 Thessalonians 4:3-6 KJV

but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; And that ye [study] to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack for nothing.
1 Thessalonians 4:11,12 KJV

My brethren and sisters, I have done my own personal study [in quiet] of the scriptures, and I have found a 'more sure' word of prophecy. You also must do your own study in quiet and search for yourselves.

No one wants to counterfit a 4 dollar bill . Because it is worthless.
No one claims to be Budah, because he isn't Jesus Christ.

There is a pure word of God given to us in our own language [English]
Any of us can publish the King James Version of the Bible [as it is written] without any copyright legality. We can sell it and profit from the sell of it.
Try... to publish any other 'translation' without the copyright and you have legalities.

Why? do we take a translation, of a translation, of a translation of a translation of what is being sold as 'the word of God' ? to be the pure and uncorrupted word of God without questioning it?
I ask' and I have received my answer. You must consider if you even want to ask' or if you desire the answer.

Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the master of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
And further, by [these,] my son, be admonished: [of making many books there is no end;] and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring [every work] into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is [good,] or whether it be [evil.]
Ecclesiastes 12: 8-14 KJV

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in [them;]

God bless you all
