[Dr. Eckleburg]

Christ uses all mechanisms to save us

Perhaps it's semantics, but there is only one "mechanism" by which God dispenses saving grace -- faith in His Son as Lord, King and Savior, made known to us through the Scriptures as we are guided by the Holy Spirit.

"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds" -- Hebrews 1:1-2

[grey_whiskers]

It is trust and faith in Christ which leads to salvation: but the trust may be engendered, inspired, or nourished through many channels. Including (as you point out) the scriptures; but also many other means, including hymns, the liturgy, fellowship, prophecy, miracles, and testimony.

Cheers!
