    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    You wont find that distinction in the original text - this is a function of translation in some versions only. New International Version I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree...

    Then I need to ask you the same question - Is Jesus on the throne with the Father and the Holy Spirit in Heaven or is the bible on the throne?

    You say Jesus is the Word - Then you say the Bible is the Word. Which of the two is enthroned in Heaven with the Father and the Spirit?

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    "The Word of God endures forever" IS MUCH MORE THAN THE BIBLE. Yes - the Bible bears witness to the Word, but is not the totality of what is endlessly proceeding from His Throne. When there is silence in heaven for half an hour, folks will not be quietly reading their bibles, they will be...

    So you think this verse justifies the worship of a Book ? John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4...

    Regarding spiritual gifts we think we have received, both the giving and the operation thereof need to be 'as He Wills' Best to give them back and request that they be subject to His Wisdom. I think we have idolised the gifts and even suggested we can turn them on at will. Yet Jesus could only...

    For me the Bible is like a divine yard stick with which we measure thoughts and feelings. It was never meant to replace the Holy Spirit within. In fact without the Holy Spirit within revealing it's Truth, it becomes dead letters, or worse when we embrace prideful deception. His judgement will...

    I am a prodigal son, rescued from a shipwrecked life - rebuild over 7 years and central to the restoration was devotionally reading Scripture and nothing else for more than 5 years. During that time He healed and fully restored to me as I aligned with what He revealed to me when reading...

    What on earth made you conclude that??? You have obviously misunderstood my position.

    I have never not given the Scripture appropriate respect. Again your use of the word 'philosophy' is a personal attack on the messenger. I said... You responded... These accusations are totally out of order... The Scripture is not degraded because folks come to faith without it. These...

    The verse you quote confirms what I claim !!! He wouldn't have needed to make this request if he was writing down all the words he had delivered in the past. Jesus knows I love the bible - please refrain from false accusation. It stands that when he prophesied it was Jesus speaking through...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Not sure it even needs to be clean... Think Naaman...
