1. What is the truth? What is Bible knowledge and doctrine?

Bible Verse(s) for Reference:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, … full of grace and truth” (Jhn 1:1, 14).

“I am the way, the truth, and the life …” (Jhn 14:6).

“Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth” (Jhn 17:17).

“He answered and said to them, Well has Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. However, in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things you do. And he said to them, Full well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition. … Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which you have delivered: and many such like things do you” (Mak 7:6-9, 13).

Relevant Words of God:

God is the truth, the way, and the life.

from “The Appearance of God Has Brought a New Age” in The Word Appears in the Flesh

… the truth put into human language is man’s aphorism; humanity will never experience it fully, and humanity should live in reliance on it. A piece of truth can let all of humanity survive for thousands of years, and truth is the life of God Himself, representing His own disposition, representing His own substance, representing everything within Him.

from “Do You Know What Truth Really Is?” in Records of Christ’s Talks

Check the Bible!

The Lord Jesus said, “Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And you will not come to me, that you might have life” (Jhn 5:39-40). Almighty God says, “Those who only care about the words of the Bible, who are unconcerned about the truth or seeking My footsteps—they are against Me, for they limit Me according to the Bible, and constrain Me within the Bible, and so are blasphemous in the extreme toward Me. How could such people come before Me?” (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Are All of God’s Words in the Bible?

Aren’t all of God’s words in the Bible? But the Lord Jesus said, “I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come” (John 16:12-13). Almighty God says, “He will tell you all these secrets that no man has been able to tell you, and He will even tell you of the truths that you do not understand” (The Word Appears in the Flesh).
