Sad thing is those who read teh bible have a really unhealthy view of God. The bible has its place. it is not God it did not replace the Holy Spirit, and if it is all you rely upon it is all you will ever know.
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
And what was it Jesus said
Joh_14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me
No one come to God by the bible, no one. The truth is in Jesus, but so few find Him.
