There is a letter out there, and it is know to kill. You know you can almost relate it to being the word of God as it is a double-edged sword. A sword that cuts deep into the soul, even into the marrow of the joints, Marrow inside of the bone, how deep. Dividing the soul and spirit.
The Bible can be used on a congregation of manipulated people, you have it in and through history, of people joining cults and following man.
That ended up in multiple deaths, abuse, and trauma of the person who was following one who manipulated them.
What a shame for people to be mislead in this way. They were all probably trying to seek for truth, and possibly could be treated harshly by the one over them.
Then there are those out there who share and desire to share out of love and for the growth of another person, and that is a good thing. It is better to share the good with others along with the truth of other matters in pertaining in the context of a single book and at least get an understanding of its context and what is truly being shared with you.
The Spirit will never produce anything bad because it is heavenly. It is Gods Holy Spirit, you also have the spirit of Christ that indwells within you by faith if indeed they do indwell you.
The Letter (even flesh) can cause problems especially when it comes to doctrinal definitions by a set denomination. The the scriptures can be used to make their own point and trying to tear another person down rather than trying to just follow the spirit to have love for God and others.
2 Corinthians 3:6
He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
