Do you worship the Bible? If not, why do you put it first?

This post totally doesn't relate to the post it was responding to or the point I've been making here.

Oh I totally believe in the importance of teachers (and scriptures obviously). But it does destroy sola scripture arguments.

Howdy!

By citing your mortal teacher, you're actuality further illustrating my point that this thread boils down to "scripture is all we need!... well, that + the tradition that defines which books are scripture + the traditions I think correctly interpret scripture + the traditions of how I...

Doesn’t address my point about the interensic flaws of your arguments here.

And the same type of falsehoods against my own faith. Such does not teach Truth. It only serves to bash and encourage ignorance all around.

Expect that scripture's meaning defined though your personal lens -- your own mortal traditions of Walter Martin and Calvin and Luther, etc. You are no more sola scripture than a JW! Everyone comes with that baggage. Hence my original comment: your thread here is boils down to "scripture is...

Nonsense. It's a disciple of Christ whom (in my view) has a very poor understanding of Him. That person's poor understanding doesn't somehow alter Him in anyway. He's just as much a disciple of Christ as you, I, or anyone else here. Man's traditions of theology (including the ones you hold)...

Anthony, do you not know God? Has He not touched your heart & soul? Don't worship the window (scripture) but instead worship the light. There's only one almighty God. If 352 people have different flaws in their understanding of God, that doesn't change Him the slightest. It's just 352 people...

There's a lot more going on with the OP than just expressing his appreciation of scripture. Stating the obvious: scripture is extremely important.

But I have. Here, I'll do it again point blank for you: Testimony received from God the Spirit. Comes from God. Starts by a person receiving testimony from God and having faith in Him. <skipping the rhetorical questions> I see it very regularly. God. From God...

Anthony, you're doing all of those thing I listed against earlier. Remember: God >> scripture. God reveals and teaches Truth (including through scripture). Scripture does not save, Christ does. We don't worship the scripture, we worship God. He and His Spirit teach & testify of Truth...

God's greatest gift is His Son. Not scripture. A person is saved by Jesus Christ. Not scripture. Scripture only comes to life by the power of God's Spirit testifying in a persons' heart. Never place your human understanding of scripture above God Himself. He majesty and wonders are way...

Going to be blunt here: God's greatest gift is His Son Jesus Christ. He alone saves. We worship the Almighty God and nothing else. Scripture is super super important, but we shouldn't worship it or try to place it above God Himself. Additionally, scripture is only properly understood through...

His Son, Jesus Christ. No need for bashing others when I say that.

*sigh* This thread boils down to "scripture is all we need!... well, that + the tradition that defines which books are scripture + the traditions I think correctly interpret scripture + the traditions of how I misconstrue other people's beliefs.".

The irony of this thread is real.

Yes, when teaching you always want to reach as person in terms that they will understand. And do so with humility, your love (and Christ's love) shining thorough.
