[.. It seems to me he(hosepipe) doesn't think we 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..

I don't think so. It was very clear then as it is now that one needs only the Holy Spirit. reading the Binble wihtout the HS is as good as not reading it. And if you don't have the Bible, the HS will teach you all that you need to know without it! My understanidng of your message here is: all those people who need the Bible also need the Holy Spirit. So why are all those people toting Bibles?
