You did not refute anything that I wrote really. My point is that the early Christians did not have the new testament and neither did Jesus. Yes, he referred to the old testament as he taught as and taught Jews as well as all others. But he did not NEED those scriptures, because he was spirit filled. He expounded and spoke extemporaneously, just as we should. But you guys really are not so, you are stuck in the written word and are not full of new and amazing personal insights. Too busy learning what other bright souls have written. You just don’t get it, and neither do your compatriots. Too bad, you are missing an awesome life that was very much the life of the early Christians. You are all a bunch of rusty , intellectual, learned repeaters of the written word. Dry as a bag of bones. And no, that is not a judgment, but simple observation and I have no idea if any of you will really wake up and I feel no annoyance at all at your phoney righteousness.

It's just that so many of these so-called amazing new insights eventually come round to the same thing...you don't really need the Bible.

No; because HE is the Word!

It is US who 'need' the scriptures; EXACTLY what I posted.

Nothing to refute; as you keep on IGNORING what has been plainly WRITTEN.


Luke 10:26
"What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"

Thank you for not judging.
