"The Bible is the Word..."

That sounds like idolatry, more specifically, specifically Protestant bibliolatry.

The Gospel of John begins with; "In the beginning was the "Logos",". Although translated as "Word" it is a theological reference to the identity of God as a complete system of knowledge and understanding. The Bible is a divinely inspired book, but it is still a book.

Peace be with you

LOL!

Thanks for your input.

John 1 is anathema to Catholicism

Idolatry however is rampant.

As opposed to Catholicism which claims a bit of wheat wafer really DOES become Jesus, and they have it on their altar, bow down to it, and then eat it.

Catholic attempts at charging non-Cathoics with idolatry would be funny if the irony weren't so sad.
