that SAME Holy Spirit you seem to think didn’t “need” to lead men to write.

I didn’t say that... the fact that you think I did say that exposes that you trust in filtered verbiage..

The Logos cannot be written down.. because the logos is a person..
The word of God is a person.. not mumblings.. grunts.. of human language...
You seem to filter words thru an agenda..

Which is better than nothing.. I contend there is something better..

Here's what you DID say and to which I responded:

Jesus never said read the bible.. but go to the Holy Spirit.. That takes faith to believe in and follow the Holy Spirit.. an “invisible friend”.. True the bible is visible tangible literal... like an idol.. so I understand that.. Following the Holy Spirit you have no need of bible lore.. except as entertainment... for more than 1500 years since Jesus MOST people could not read.. or wanted to...

Now that read every bit like you don't have much use for the Bible and that you mock those who do saying that it is like idol worship. Who has got an "agenda" here? I do hope you know the difference between the LOGOS (Jesus) and the word of God, because there are many places in Scripture where it is used to mean God's spoken as well as written word. I can point you to a word study on all those places if you'd like. Let me know. Cheers.

Typical hosepipe,cryptic as ever.(well to me anyway,which could just be an indicator of my very limited ability to keep up)

bb makes a post that's hard to disagree with and you seem to chastise her for it.There's tons of scripture related to why we should study them and there's also tons of folks attempting to make scripture subservient to traditions,imaginings of men,feelings etc etc

The sword of the spirit is the word of God,Jesus Himself said we would be sanctified by the truth and then added that "thy word is truth".So to be honest I can't blame bb for her stance and in fact I'm thankfull for it.

I'd never heard of Christians 'worshipping' the Bible until I came here to the RF.It's something I find very hard to fathom and ,rightly or wrongly,it always makes me think that's because some seem to feel they have something more to add or worse,it's an attempt to push the word aside.

Practically every page in God's word points me to God.To think that those who supposedly worship the bible then go on to empty idolatry is a contradiction.If they truly worshipped the book they'd be doing what it spells out very plainly yes?

I treat it as an empty statement and I think that God would be happy at what He knows I think of His written word.

Having said all that I still have the nagging feeling I'm not entirely following you.So in the spirit of family,please be gentle.8-)

God bless you and God bless you bb for your zeal for God's word.
