John 1: 1 1 2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 3 All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be 4 through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; 5 4 the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Here's another light...Or is it the same light???

Psa 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

You guys read the bible like it's an encyclopedia but there's a little more to the book than you think...

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Well imagine that...The BOOK says that the BOOK discerns the thoughts and intents of your heart...

Yessireee...That ain't no ordinary book...There's none other like it on the face of the earth...

Do we worship that book??? Of course not...Are we in awe of that book??? Indubitabaly so...

One of the fascinating things about the Sola Scriptura crowd is that they apparently cannot tell the difference between the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, God Almighty, and words in a book.

Such a narrow, shallow outlook...We not only realize the difference, we also realize the similarities...

Do you think that the words of men equal or surpass the quotations of Jesus Christ Almighty? Paulicians do.

Actually it's Christians that do...It was Paul who told us where folks were first called Christians...And it was under Paul's teaching...

You guys quote Paul's epistles in places as if they were facts of life...But where the epistles condemn you religion, you complain that they are not red letters...

Ah well, we've got your tactics down pat...

Really? Saint Paul was the author of the Acts of the Apostles?

No, Paulicians, by definition. That is by the Church of Jesus Christ, and not issued by the Pope of the LaZBoy recliner Throne of Theology in the Sacred Hall of Sunday Sports. Christians do not elevate any man beyond Christ.

Nope, we complain that you guys take them out of context. Paul is read more than any other NT author and only the Gospels are read more. But as St. Peter said, morons and fools misinterpret Paul, as they do all the other Scriptures. We have 2000 years of trying to contend with these morons and fools.
