Thanks very much, dearest DJ, but I long ago dismissed those type of “authorities” like Quix and Star Traveler because I’m certain God is displeased by their holier than Thou actions and screeds.
Show me the proof. Well, that’s not happening until we die, so make the best of our lives and do not harm others, by word or deed and always start our prayers by asking for forgiveness.
If God wanted us to 'know all' he could make a video and splash it across the sky for all to see... He has His reasons for doing things the way their done. I really like your answer, onyx. We'd all be wise to follow your advice.
Actually, what we’re saying is that the authority is not in you, me or others - but that the authority is in the Word of God. So, that’s why you take it from there, you see.
For someone to “point to the authority of the Bible” and say that this is where you find God’s Word - that’s not making oneself the authority - as you seem to be mistaking here.
