You teach awful theology.
First of all, its an insult to God, to low rate and denigrate the Bible, as you have, by lowering it to be no better then "books".
You call yourself a teacher, and a pastor, and yet you say the bible is no better then "books'.
Here is my reaction to that..
= SPIT.
Listen, Its like this...deceiver, with no authority other then your OPINIONS and your "cult of mary".
The word of God, is the Authority., and that's Final.
God said that He elevates His word above his NAME.
Notice this verse that you've never read..
""for thou God, hast magnified thy word above all thy name."""
Thats Psalm 138.
That is God's perspective on His word, that you deny has more authority than a person, and is just a "book".
So, think on that, Mr Water Baptism + Works is Salvation.
The word of God will be here, long after all your authorities have died and turned to dust.
The Word of God is The Truth, just as surely as Jesus is the Truth.
And also, you say that people are the Authority, and not the bible, Yet, God says that """"Jesus has ALL authority on Earth and in Heaven.""
So, there is your PEOPLE< authority.
That's one more verse you never read in that book you say is just a "book".
