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

    I've never heard His voice through physical hearing; however, I do hear Him speak to my spirit (heart/mind) through His Spirit in me. 1 Corinthians 2:9-11 (KJV) But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared...

    Yes, the Word of the Lord came, or was given to certain men of Old and was written down that we too might KNOW the Word of the Lord. What is written are called the oracles/utterance of God given to man through Holy Writ called the Scriptures that are defined the Holy Bible. Christian Scriptures...

    It appears the problem lies within the fact that you don't KNOW THE WORD, or rather you have NOT UNDERSTANDING of THE WORD! Of course, the gospel is the WORD OF GOD! John 1:1-2 (KJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the...

    The verse is not explicitly found in the Old Testament! However, the doctrine (teaching) that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (gospel) certainly is! That is how Abraham was able to believe God (have faith) that God accredits to him for righteousness. Galatians 3:8 (KJV)...

    The Word of God prior to the canonization of the Bible we now have is found in the writings of the Law and prophets which is what Jesus and the Apostles learned and taught from. Remember the passage I quoted earlier for you? Christ read and taught from the book of Isaiah out of the Word of God...

    Why is the BIBLE, THE WRITTEN WORD of GOD THE SOURCE for LIFE? We read: Romans 10:17 (KJV) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

    The Bible is THE SOURCE, His spoken word in written form as He has commanded, that we might KNOW Him!

    Even Jesus in the flesh relied upon that which is written in THE BOOK. Luke 4:17-19 (KJV) And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to...

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

    When I run to the Bible for help, I am running to God! I would not know the gospel of the Kingdom of God if it was not written. Because now it is through His written Word that God communicates with man. That's why He instructs us to KNOW His Word, and to study His Word, that we may KNOW HIM!

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

    We are hearing directly from God through His written Word! How would any man know Christ without first hearing the gospel written in the Bible proclaimed unto them that all may know Him? Romans 10:8-16 (KJV) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that...

    A recent exchange with a reasoning AI pertaining to Matthew 24:15-30

    Might try asking Partial Preterits how 70 AD fits since this was not the only time the city and temple, with Jews subjected to massive deaths, and some of them taken into captivity to be servants by their captors has occurred. How can 70 AD be "great tribulation, such as was not since the...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    How shall any man believe unto salvation without hearing the word of God? When we hear the gospel of the Kingdom of God proclaimed, all who will be saved through the power of the Holy Spirit receive faith to believe. Because eternal life does not come through human birth. We are given eternal...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Salvation is of the Lord! He shall save His people from their sins. Those who are eternally saved respond through repentance and faith because they have been saved, NOT to be saved!

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    What do you mean by "not having anything to do with us"? One who hears the gospel of the Kingdom of God proclaimed and believes in their heart, believes by grace through faith that is the work of God toward those who are eternally saved. We don't believe in our heart if our heart after...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Is that what you believe? It certainly is NOT what I believe, nor is it what I've said!

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Yes, salvation from start to finish begins, and also ENDS with God who alone is able to eternally save whosoever is born again!

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    But you do say it is by our good deeds that we are ETERNALLY saved. That ignores God saving believers to the uttermost through Christ who lives and makes intercession before the Father for we who always fall short in this life. Hebrews 7:25 (KJV) Wherefore he is able also to save them to...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    What part of man before they are saved is Paul speaking of being "dead in trespasses and sins" if not spiritual death without exception of every man except Jesus? What part must be made alive (quickened) that is dead in trespasses and sins? Not only are we, who were (spiritually) dead in...
