***Jesus caused the Church; the Church caused the Bible. To say that it is else is untrue and attacks the very Truth of Jesus’ ministry on Earth. That is evil.***
John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Church, and the Church was with God, and the Church was God.”
See, here is our problem. We, the Reformed, believe that the Word of God is the Bible, while you believe that the Bible is just a bunch of stuff written by a bunch of men.

Inspired men, but just men.
Tell, me if you would. Do you believe that the Word mentioned in the Bible is equivalent to God? Or do you believe that the words in the Bible are words of men who tried to write down their thoughts and impressions and memories of their experiences that they had related to God, or readings that they read or orations that they heard?
In other words, do you believe that the Bible is equivalent to God?
And the Church has always believed that the Word (Logos) is the Father's only-begotten Son, not the Bible.
For 1,500 years no one (mis)took the phrase "word of God" to be synonimous with Christ (it takes special talent). The Bible is not Jesus. Now I am beginning to understand why so many Protestants worship the bible.
