Who gave us the Bible? The Spirit. Jesus said....
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
“...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” The point was many have the Bible in their hands and quote it ... a lot of the time in condemning another. No. God is not the author of confusion. Man is and all his man-made doctrines ...doctrine by implication means they read it and quote it religiously but for the sake of flesh and what it profits which is nothing. So the word in their mouth is nothing. God said His word would not return to Him void...in the same verse you quoted above as His words being Spirit and life ...the flesh profits nothing. He said one must pick up their cross and follow Him and His sheep hear His voice and do follow Him. What voice would that be? The voice “my words are Spirit, and they are life.” The word being Spirit and free from the bondage or being bound by man. Resurrection spirit is not bound. His word is not bound. While Paul in the flesh may have been bound...Life in the word of God is not bound. The Bible without Life and the Spirit of God...is bound and leads death ...that is the author of confusion. Countless denominations when the doctrine of God is One.
John 7:16-17 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. [17] If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
I would ask you if someone holds the Bible in their hands and there is no life in them, what is that book to them? Is it alive or dead?
