Step one: - Buy a Bible.

Step one: Mark 12: 28One of the scribes,i when he came forward and heard them disputing and saw how well he had answered them, asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?” 29Jesus replied, “The first is this: ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! 30You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’j 31The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”k

Step two: - Read it.

Step 2: John 6: 26Jesus answered them and said, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. 27Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life,* which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal.”l 28So they said to him, “What can we do to accomplish the works of God?” 29Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.”

Jesus never told anyone to buy a Bible. He told us to love Him, to love our neighbour, and to believe in Him. I thank you for yet another opportunity to show the difference between we Christians and the folks who think that they are either God or speaking for God.

OK, your hatred of God’s word is duly noted.

>>Jesus never told anyone to buy a Bible.<<

You don’t believe the Holy Spirit inspired the writing of scripture?

Acts 17:11 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.

If they didn’t have them how could they “search the scriptures daily”? Seems they not only were expected to have them but to also search them daily.
