Can you separate a man from his word? Can you separate Jesus from His word and receive Him without also receiving His word?

First of all, the Bible is NOT the entire Word of God. God is a person, not a book.

Secondly, I gave you Scripture to point out what gives us life. It is God HIMSELF, not the words He spoke.

And finally, those who have not heard the Bible being preached can still partake in the gift of the Holy Spirit, as the Spirit blows where HE wills, not based on your limiting judgment.

"For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." Romans 2:14-16

Accordingly, even some GENTILES have the law (of Love) written on their hearts as a result of the Spirit, Gentiles who had yet to hear (or perhaps never would) hear the formal Gospel proclaimed to them.

Thus, your claim that those without the Bible are without Christ is false. God is not bound to those who ONLY read the Bible.
