[RobbyS]

Nothing you say is original with you. I have lived long enough to heard so many others say the same. Scripture is the Word of God but the work of human hands. An epitome of God’s word, but much is left to interpretation. Written by men, preserved by men, and interpreted by men. We can sit down and read the Bible, knowing that the Spirit will help us discern its meaning. The more we read, the more we discern. But always we start within A tradition. The language we speak, the way we worship God, the preaching we heard, the books we read. All these have been passed along by others.

[presently no screen name]

Written by men, preserved by men, and interpreted by men

Men who God chose, persevered by GOD, and Spiritually discerned. HIS WORD IS in INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Heb 4:12 "For the WORD of God is LIVING and ACTIVE. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart".

You think it's 'just a book' written by men? Think again after your read Heb 4:12.

But always we start within A tradition.

HIS WORD always was and always will be. His WORD was before any tradition existed and HIS WORD will be here after tradition is burnt up! Some much for 'your tradition'.
