You are right, that can't be done.
Nor is it necessary.
There is a better way which takes total submission to Jesus Christ I would imagine.
I posted from several versions hoping one of them is the Catholic Bible.King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:King James 2000 Bible (©2003)
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:American King James Version

Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:Webster's Bible Translation
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Young's Literal Translation
For, let this mind be in you that is also in Christ Jesus,
Here is the continuation:
5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.Very difficult to do, become like Christ in order to "have the mind of Christ."
The instructions continue:
Phew... a difficult task but necessary in order to completely receive the mind of Christ.King James 2000 Bible (©2003)
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Our faith must be in a person who...sent the Spirit to serve as our guide. Still the Spirit moves us in ways we can never predict, not by reading the Bible nor...IMO it should be "not by ONLY reading the Bible..."
The Bible is the Word, Jesus is the Word made flesh. The Holy Spirit guides us as we totally immerse ourselves in the Bible so it becomes clear to us.
No, the Bible is a book. Christ is God made man, and with the Father and the Spirit, the living God. Interesting that Zwingli placed a Bible on the altar, or table, as we have from time to time, a tabernacle. The Jews do something similar in synagogues. A reformer who did not believe in the Real Presence instead made a book as an object of worship. Of course, being a rationalist, he might call it a symbol. No wonder Luther was perflexed. That same book said, “is”.
