Bible Note: Steve: You wrote: "Please provide scripture to back up your assertion that the Bible is on a par with Jesus who is the 'image of God'." Please point out to me where I made that assertion. I do believe in the complete sufficiency of Scripture as a guide for the Christian life. Of course we are indwelt and taught by the Holy Spirit. I never one suggested that we do not have the Spirit of Christ. However, He works in conjunction with his Word. Since you already acknowledge that the "still, small voice" is not found in the Bible, how did you know that it was not your own eagerness, your own sinfulness and pride, or just something that didn't quite agree with your digestive system? In addition, if, as you assert, the "still, small voice" is indeed described IN THE BIBLE, how can you make the claim that it is something beyond the Bible? The Bible contains all we need to know as believers to direct our steps in a Godly manner. It is the Holy Spirit which enables us to understand what has been revealed to us about Christ in the Bible. There is nothing that the Holy Spirit teaches us about the Father or the Son that is not already contained in Scripture or that can be logically deduced from Scripture. So, please, Steve, give me one SPECIFIC example of something you know about Christ Himself that is not found, mentioned, or described in Scripture. --Joe! |
