[phatus maximus]

Are you saying that God himself is incapable of putting into written form the words to lead to understanding Christ? That's a new one to me...how do you justify this statement?

[annalex]

I am saying that the written word of God needs to be interpreted in the light of the sacred tradition transmitted by the apostolic Church; if it is read independently or, worse, in opposition to the Church then such reading will lead to harmful results. One example is Luther. Of course he has "read" the gospels. But his "reading" was not profitable and his theories betray no familiarity with the passages I enumerated in #20. So, in short and for greater dramatic effect, I say

Luther did not read the gospels.
