Bible Question: ... |
Bible Answer: Hey Maerl, You give the short answer to your post as "as sinful as this may be..." What did you mean by that? Anyway,the bible is the word of God. Nothing else is sufficient. I don't mean this as an attack, but you sound like you have little or no reverence for the word of God. I hope I'm wrong. The relationship between God and every individual (lost and saved) is a very personal thing. For those of us that are saved, our relationship is different as you know. You say you are "sick and tired of the Scripture interprets Scripture". Why are you sick and tired of this? What else would you prefer to use to interpret scripture, if not the scripture itself? Regarding the word "faith", you might not appreciate this as an answer, but read scripture to gain a better understanding of faith. A "saving faith" is a gift from God. This kind of faith will never lose it's meaning regardless of how often you hear it. You say you are "ready for something that is consistent and authoritative". well my friend, there is nothing more consistent and nothing more authoritative than the scriptures. Friend. The Holy Bible is the word of God. If you look anywhere or to anything else, you are looking in the wrong place. Sincerely, Jeff |
