Anyway it is nice to have the scripture out there to speak for itself.
That's exactly right... in that it should be Scripture that speaks to us about God, and who He is and what He does... that's the source of our knowledge about God... His Word, namely what He has revealed to us.
If God had not revealed what He has in His Word, we would not know but a few things about God, from His "general revelation" to mankind... which is "creation itself" (as that speaks to who God is...).
God's Word is the source of our knowledge of who He is ...
But man interprets that word differently. That is why I ask men questions, not God...for their interpretations.
