the bible is of course the word of God...written by inspired humans. It, like a trignometry book, is better understood if you have both the book and a person learned in the subject.....I take nothing away from the truth of the bible and choose to follow the teachers who WROtE IT.

Problem is, the men who penned it are dead so cannot be consulted.

However, the born again believer has the true Author of Scripture living within them and HE can tell us what was meant and how to apply it to our lives.

the vast majority of people who recorded history are dead which in no way impunges their testimony...I've never met Abraham Lincoln but I can certainly know and respect what he believed. The so called "born again believer" has decided that the Holy Spirit will bypass the normal teaching authority of the Catholic church and appear to each of you as_________??who knows what and personally guide you in the way of the lord....good luck with that!!
