Thank you cloud - I must reiterate - Jesus’ death on the cross is all you need - no bible - the works are perfect. The works alone do it- and we must emulate the works!! (sorry - had to bring that in)
Men have short and fallen memories (Thanks Eve) so the bible had to be written and the Holy Spirit knew this.
PS I love history, by the way - anything written before 1960 Hillaire Belloc here we come.

*All men have an instinct for conflict: at least, all healthy men.
*An institute run with such knavish imbecility that if it were not the work of God it would not last a fortnight.
*Any subject can be made interesting, and therefore any subject can be made boring.
*Be content to remember that those who can make omelettes properly can do nothing else.

*Every major question in history is a religious question. It has more effect in molding life than nationalism or a common language.
Yes, Jesus' death is all I need, AND a healthy dose of ME saying YES to Him.
