Oh, you've got him now. I always say, the only thing worse than a King James warrior is a King James hater - lol. I can't believe this show is free. .

Who could've predicted you'd respond to every paragraph but this one: After all, drawing any attention to it would have spoiled your straw man posturing. I really like the Calvinism red herring, too—nice touch. FWIW, I do fully concur with your comments about "originals." Unfortunately, I...

Is this teaching method very effective for you? And we're off to the the Eternal Security races. The topic is about the Bible as an idol. The truth is, however, that no one idolizes the Bible—only their cherished opinions of what it says. :) .

Ascribing motive makes me ill. I don't see how Christians can do it, honestly. I can't say I'm guiltless, either, but: "Man looks on the outward appearance..." .

I think you missed the point. Folks who resist the Holy Spirit can't see that they're attempting righteousness by works. In fact, for nearly all of us, it's not a matter of whether we have legalistic tendencies, but to what degree, in what manner, and what we're trying to do about it. .

But I have to keep my perception of omnipresence from crossing over into pantheism, Sis. I don't think I can presume safety without caution here. .

I'm not getting a clear picture of your point or position. No one is claiming that the Bible hung on a cross and died for the sins of the world. God Himself chose the word "Word" to refer to both the written word and the Word made flesh. I had nothing to do with that. To insist that Jesus is...

What rule makes this the criteria for determining what the Word is? .

The effect of Scripture songs in terms of memorization alone is inestimable on folks of all ages but instilling the value of music as an aid to internalizing God's Word is especially beneficial to children. We sang kid's songs to our children when they were babies and they learned to love...

Look at those big eyes. You're in for some trouble, Sis. :hearteyes: .

@St. SteVen, I hope you understood that the word "attitude" in post #1044 was actually supposed to be "latitude" - lol. :) .

Chronology? I don't really understand the point of arguing technicality here. I'm just not looking for reasons to doubt Scripture. Maybe that makes me naive. Why couldn't Psalm 138:2 apply to the New Testament as well, especially considering passages like 2 Timothy 3:16: All scripture is...

Why do we do this to each other? Father, help us, please. .

How strawman-like .

You don't think he saw the words of Moses as carrying more weight than others? .

I just don't know of anyone who claims to believe that Jesus and the Bible are exactly the same thing, or that they love the Bible more than Jesus. Maybe you do. .

Sorry, my mistake. I thought we were talking about that in the abstract sense, rather than outright idolatry. .

Forgive me but this just comes across as equivocation, and seems definitely to be at variance with the distinction made between the word and the name of God in Psalm 138:2. .

Fair enough :) .

I know you do. ;) I think we can give each other a little latitude, generally. I think you do, too—especially when they don't necessarily single us out. :) .
