They don't have to believe in the scriptures because they have their church and, of course, their church could never steer them wrong......How do they know? ....Because the scriptures tell them so.

P-Marlowe has a great point Kosta. It does seem the only scriptures you agree with are the ones about the church. Most others you seem to hold in disdain.

I go back to His Word - "I come in the volume of the Book", not, I come in the volume of the church, or the volume of man. Or..."In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God", not... In the beginning was the church, or in the beginning was man.

I realize that you agree with him and that's okay. I don't speak for the Church. My opinions are my opinions. So, before either of you satanize the Church, I suggest you find out exactly what the Church says about the Bible. You are free to disagree with me all you want, but if you are going to ridicule the Church then have some facts in your hand. Otherwise you are arguing from ignorance and prejudice.

I don't identify you with Luther or Calvin, but with your own selves. It would be proper to leave the Church out of this and direct your comments at my opinions.

You personally refuse to know more about the Bible but take the pretty bound volumes that you have at home as the "original" product. That's fine with me. But don't try to peddle your own conviction as universal truth.

If you really do not believe and follow any man, then how can you follow your own convictions? Why is what you believe any more true than that of any other human or even the Church? It is placing yourself above everyone else while claiming you don't follow any man.
