I empathetie with your intent, but it goes against the command the Risen Lord Jesus Messiah gave to His primary disciple.Apostles just before His ascension to His rightful position in Heaven.
Matthew 28:18-20 (AV):God has appointed spiritually mature men to go about, declaring the Scripture Truth, helping a person to become fully persuaded that Jesus Saves humans from Satan's grasp, protects them, inducts the rescued person into a local regular company of professing allegiance to the Jesus of the Bible, and congregating the for instruction of how to be fit for their own service to Him as He did the person who faithfully abd correctly brought the redeeming news to that person.
18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
The truly mature herald and teacher of the Gospel will share what he/she has learned from the inspired Holy Scriptures or a relible translation of God's Word, and guide you, as you desire, to check the Word for yourself to see if what he/she has said be so.
Acts 17:10-12 (AV):Please do not convince yourself that there is not someone superior to you in what the Holy Spirit has said in a certain passage of the Scripture. You need to find such people in a local assembly and associate with them. And perhaps the Spirit is continually showing truths that you might share. The purpose of a Christ-led gathering is exactly formed by His command for that purpose.
10And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
:11These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12herefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
2 Timothy 3:14-16 (AV):
14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Don’t have to fact check The Bible.
And how did:
The idea of "God, the Bible, and me" sounds deeply pious, but "only the Bible and me" is actually profoundly unbiblical. The Bible itself never teaches that an individual with a Bible is completely self-sufficient.
In fact, Scripture explicitly warns against private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20) and states that the church—not an isolated individual—is the "pillar and foundation of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15).
God loved us too much to leave us completely isolated as an island—just "the Bible and me." From the very beginning of the New Testament, faith was never meant to be a solo journey in a vacuum. >When the Ethiopian eunuch was reading the scriptures in the Book of Acts, God didn't just tell him to figure it out alone; He sent Philip to walk alongside him and guide him into the full truth.
Christianity is fundamentally a family. The same Holy Spirit who breathes life into the text of the Bible has been guiding a continuous, living community of believers for two thousand years, passing down the fire of faith from generation to generation without a break. When we cut ourselves off from that deep, historic stream of Christian history, we lose the incredible wealth of how the earliest Christians lived, worshipped, and died for Christ.
The written Word is a magnificent gift, but the grand climax of God’s love wasn't a book sent down from heaven—it was the Word becoming Flesh.
Jesus came to establish a real, living, visible kingdom on earth where we can not only read about Him, but physically gather around His table, enter into His supernatural life, and receive His literal embrace through the tools of grace He left behind.
True intimacy with God doesn't mean being alone with a text; it means stepping into the full, breathtaking inheritance of the entire household of faith.
If you look at the earliest history of that family, the historical record is beautifully clear:
they immediately gathered around a visible structure of bishops and priests who had been directly ordained by the Apostles themselves.
When St. Ignatius of Antioch was being led to the Roman Colosseum to face the lions in 107 AD—Ignatius was a man who literally learned the faith from the Apostle John—he wrote to the churches telling them to prize their bishops, because it was through this direct, physical chain of apostolic succession that the true, physical presence of Christ in the bread and wine was protected from division.
God’s covenants are never purely invisible or abstract; they are always physical, historical, and structural.
Just as God established a visible, structured kingdom for Israel with a literal priesthood, a literal temple, and physical sacrifices, Christ did not downgrade the New Covenant into a purely invisible, disorganized cloud of individual believers wandering alone with a text.
He established a visible, global Kingdom—His Church—that literally fulfills the Old Testament prophecies. On the Altar, the physical reality of the New Covenant is realized every single day. We don't have to wait for a future dispensation to experience the physical, kingly presence of Christ; He reigns tangibly among us right now, transforming ordinary bread and wine into the true bread of heaven, exactly as he promised.
