Jesus is God

I'm really glad to hear you say that. Now, if you can see there is a difference between God and Scripture, that would be further improvement.

His Word is inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Yes, inspired, written by men, inspired by God. Paul is inspired by God, what Paul writes is written by Paul, inspired by God. Paul is not God. You are not necessarily inspired by God when you reach your understanding of what Paul wrote.

And, it should be clear: you are not God either.

You believe God as the final authority but NOT HIS WORD?

Do you think when you pass from this world, you will meet a Bible that will pass judgement? Or will Jesus be the final authority?

Is that how low the RCC brought down your understanding?

The Bible CONTAINS God's Word. Let's see how POWERFUL GOD'S WORD is.... You think the RCC's man made teachings trumps this...?

Heb 4:13 "For the word of God is LIVING and ACTIVE. SHARPER than any double-edged sword, it PENETRATES even to DIVIDING soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it JUDGES he thoughts and attitudes of the heart".

Do you know ANYTHING else that can do that? That's GOD WORD that you dismiss as The Final Authority. You can't say you put God first if His Word is not THE FINAL AUTHORITY. It's impossible!

Matthew 15:7,8,9 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:

"'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'"

Isaiah 29:13 The Lord says: "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of Me is made up only of rules taught by men".

Mark 7:7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'

How many times do catholics need to be told? You aren't putting God first - no matter how times your lips speak it - it is ALL in vain. Or is it you all don't give a flip?

John 1:1-17

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

14And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15( John bore witness about him, and cried out, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.'") 16And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Jesus will be the final authority, but here on earth the Bible is the written word which bears witness of Jesus and points to Him and gives us all we need that pertains to salvation and living a godly life.

2 Timothy 3:14-17 14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

Scripture is not merely writings of ancient wise men. God breathed means God breathed.
