Hank: The idea (implied) that we are better off without the Bible and that experience and faith are somehow superior to the Bible is one of the oddest notions I've ever heard. Without the Bible, how do we know who or what to have faith in? "It wasn't until men began translating the bible...that there were difficulties with understanding what God has said...When you operate in the spirit, there is no need for translation." What's that supposed to mean? That ignorance is bliss? It sounds like he's saying that the Word of God is a hindrance to understanding what God has said. This is even more confusing when we consider that the Bible is the record of WHAT GOD HAS SAID. "When you operate in the spirit, there is no need for translation." Contrary to widespread opinion, there is no conflict between the Bible and the Holy Spirit. All we know of the Holy Spirit is contained in the Word of God. I give up! I guess we're living in the bizarro world where up is down and down is up. Sign me Bewildered, Radioman2 |

Hello, Radioman -- Well, it does cause one to wonder why God ever bothered to write His Bible in the first place. And look at all the time, not to mention the cost of expensive writing materials, that the human authors wasted in taking down what the Spirit inspired. Why, Moses should have stayed in Egypt and behaved himself, Matthew should have stuck with tax collecting (they were better paid than writers in those days -- still are). And think of all the tents -- more than enough to keep Barnum and Bailey Circus out of the rain forever -- Paul could have made while he was writing his heart out to those foolish Galatians and other ingrates. And Peter could have caught enough fish to keep the Fulton Fish Market supplied for years. ..... Isn't it ironic that anyone would have the temerity to say that all we need is to be led by the Holy Spirit, the same Holy Spirit who wasted His time giving us the Bible? --Hank | ||||||
