<> Either the Bible does or does not contain the ability to know everything. I have not argued that it is not sufficient; I believe it is when one has been taught how to read and understand it.

This is what most every cult says.

****This is what most every cult says.****

A statement like this does not intimidate me. Nor will it silence me.

I admit, without reservation, that I did not just pick up a Bible, read it and come to faith without anyone’s help. I came to faith first through the testimony of others and began reading Scripture after.

I don’t speak Greek or Hebrew or Aramaic, therefore, I have to depend on the translations of others since I cannot read any of the languages in which Scriptures was first written.

I use commentaries, read books and articles by others and study with others.

I am not a go-it-alone Christian, just as Jesus did not expect or want me to be.

I think that statement is an odius attempt to make me shut up, made by one who has no more arrows in their quiver.
