What Christian denomination believes the entire Bible nothing more and nothing less?

Answer 1

Many Christians claim to believe "the entire Bible nothing more and nothing less." Claims of this type are generally made in denominations that do not have a strong ecclesiastical structure, and therefore it is unlikely that a whole denomination would express their belief in this way, since the mechanisms for such a statement do not exist, and in any event, agreement would be difficult to establish. Christian belief is more nuanced that this.

In fact, it is difficult to sustain the position of "the entire Bible nothing more and nothing less." This is because Jesus, in the Bible, taught us that he was sending the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth. While he did not literally promise to send us the Bible, or more specifically, the New Testament, as Christians we believe the New Testament to have been written by men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit. Yet nowhere does Jesus say that the Holy Spirit would stop guiding us into all truth once the New Testament was written, or that we should only gain inspiration from the New Testament.

While The Bible is open to interpretation, we should not invent our own interpretation, but seek to be guided by the Holy Spirit. To conform to what Jesus taught us, it should be Bible + Holy Spirit as our guide, and that includes taking into account what other Christians have said, and are saying, as Paul taught in 1 Cor. 14:29. That is why we should not say, "the entire Bible nothing more and nothing less."
