In the beginning was the Word, and the Word with God, and the Word was God... and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

Gee, that tells me that the Word (scripture) is Jesus, the Christ.

If the Hebrew scriptures were Christ then they wouldn't have prophesized his coming.

The fact is Scripture has been copied down by men, and translated by men and frankly biased men.

Scripture cannot be interpreted without the Holy Spirit the comforter the Spirit of Truth which Christ promised to send the church.

I happen to beleive that 330+ bishops from everywhere from England to Persia along with thousands of laity and priests accompanying them could not have gathered absent the Holy Spirit.

I think it's quite easy for a handful of protestants at a 'Bible Reading' to do so completely absent the Holy Spirit.

You aren't saying the Bible is God are you?
