In all this post I hear a lot of references to a mere man, a self confessed greatest of sinners, like Hitler, a murderer of God's people, yet no mention of the most important, influential Person, without Whom there is no church. The Holy Spirit of God. But this seems to be very common in this forum.

Can someone become obsessed with the bible and not be born again?

When you say, handbook, are you refering to an actual book? Or are you speaking figuratively? Is God's words spoken (every word that proceeds from His mouth) and communicated to His creation a book?

Are you saying 'God's word' and 'it is written' are exactly the same thing? Maybe when you use these terms it is different to how others interpret them to mean. If you have borrowed these 2 terms from someone else, can you give your interpretation of them. If they are your original terms...

Yes agreed. Instead we can invest our time and energy in establishing a closer deeper relationship with the resident Spirit. I'm so grateful He has made me His mobile home and comes with me everywhere I go. He is our Supplier of truth, Who knows the complete mind of God. He knows every word...

Yes, He is instrumental in the work of redeeming people to God from amoung all flesh. Rev 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and...

Great news hey. As you stated, God promised to lead us into all truth by that same Holy Spirit, and to finish the mystery of God. The responsibility to form and grow the body of Christ belongs to the sent Holy Spirit. Sent to carry out a task that not even the Holy angels were capable of...

You seem to say that in a positive way. Why would the maturing church, the grown up body of Christ want to go back to its infancy stage? Drinking breast milk. Crawling on all fours. Speaking gibberish. She has been growing now for 2000 years into Christ. His bride is being formed, developing...

I have a simple solution. Forget the law, don't focus on the scriptures, sideline the bible. Instead acknowledge the Holy Ghost, fix your attention on the Spirit of Christ and make the Spirit of God the main Character in this part (on earth) of the Divine blockbuster.

Do you think Satan cares what biblical canon he uses. They are all weapons in his arsenal. Just ask Jesus, He was tempted by Satan who used the scriptures who knows how many times. The limited accounts in the bible only tell of 3 occasions.

It is like, because Hitler became a leader and decided who to persecute, God being sovereign, directed this persecutors steps right to the Jews. Or like Pharaoh, Trump, Mandela, the Pope. Just because the Koran was written has been preserved to this day, it doesn't mean it is being used...

Yes, once your eyes are opened, you can't unsee what you see. My awareness of the neglect of God's Spirit grows the more I hear those who identify as followers of Christ. They have substituted the Spirit with the bible. Yes, the holy bible has replaced the Holy Spirit. I'm sad for these people...

Can you elaborate on this. I'm not following what your saying here. Yes, for sure. But obviously God's Words in written form are not all He guides, teaches, instructs us out of. How does the Holy Ghost speak to you?

You are speaking of your personal experience. Thanks for sharing. Many have a different one. We hear God communicate with us regularly. Through dreams, visions, picture stories (parables), inner voice, audibly, in nature and many other ways.

Yes, the Holy Spirit downloaded the word of God into me a few years ago. It was a vision of the future which has changed my life. I study that vision each day and the Spirit keeps adding to it, or should I say, grows it like a seed growing into a mature tree with new shoots, leaves, flowers and...

Thanks for acknowledging the Person and role of the Spirit of God. I'm sure He appreciates this as does Those Who sent Him. Study the scriptures and all the words that proceed from the mouth of God. Most importantly, ask the Spirit to open the eyes of your understanding to see truths hidden in...

Yes, to build and establish a very close intimate relationship with His Spirit Jesus sent to us is going to be even more critical in the dark times that lay ahead. Holy Spirit communicates with me through pictures, parables and visions. I so appreciate the library of truths (pictures) that...

Holy Spirit uses so many things to reveal God to His creation. The word of God is never ending, the scriptures make up like a drop in the ocean. Every word that comes from His mouth will continue without end. Is the Word of God is Christ, the Head of the church? what are you refering to when...

It is the Spirit Himself Who redeems people to God through Christ. It is the Spirit Himself Who makes us His home. It is the Spirit Himself Who forms the church and completes the church. He definitely doesn't need a book to carry this out. Most of God's words have never been recorded, never...

As with the tutor/teacher, the law, prepared us and led us to the Spirit, so too tutors/teachers in the church are to prepare and lead us to the Spirit Himself. Then we do not need the law, we don't need a human teacher any more. We have a permanent accompanying TEACHER send from God to live...
