Just as I wrote to A-G, you need to take that up with hosepipe who wrote re my comment that for 2,000 years most people could not read or afford the Bible but could hear it only in the Church: "Lucky for them that Jesus left the Holy Spirit to handle all that(literacy stuff).."
It seems to me he doesn't think e need the Bible...take it up with him.
You're spinning what I said.. like a top..
I didn't even imply the bible was not "needed"..
Merely the bible without the Holy Spirit is just a book(library of books)..
But then, we do have the Holy Spirit to highlight and teach bible passages..
And lift it far beyong DOGMA.. "the letter KILLS, but the Spirit gives LIFE"..
Actually the Holy Spirit can teach the Bible even if YOU cannot READ.. are blind, don't know braille, and are not very smart.. and the bible is not even translated into your language.. The Holy Spirit transcends religion, all religion.. The Father the Son and the Holy Spirit are ONE.. and are the nexus of the bible.. The bible leads to them, they don't lead to the bible..
