And it is impossible to access that faith without the written Word.
Having a bible definitely helps, but it is not a requirement.
Like the early Church up until approximately 1455 A.D. (Gutenberg).
“A lot of people, throughout the centuries, have come to an acceptance of God’s Grace through the death and resurrection of Jesus without ever seeing a bible.
Having a bible definitely helps, but it is not a requirement.”
While true, how many more have come to the saving grace of Jesus Christ through the bible?
I can testify to this personally as I found salvation through the reading of His word, the bible.
I’m not saying that “you” are, but Stanley is greatly diminishing the importance of God’s word.
It is paramount to understanding the faith and living a Christian life. It’s importance can not be understated.
Stanley is a FOOL. I dare say, because of his statements about the bible I question his faith. YES I DO.
A real shame as his father Charles Stanley, has been a very influential person in my own growth in the faith.
Romans 1:
19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
