Revelation 19:13King James Version (KJV)
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
The bible has no means of protection to me. The Spirit, by all means does.
I understand what you're saying, but the bible contains words spoken by God and written down, thousands of years ago, but is not the living and active Word of God. The Word of God is Christ, who is Spirit, and not the bible. It certainly cannot keep up with times. The knowledge in this world has run rampant, the times are completely different from thousands upon thousands of years ago and only the Spirit, who is alive and active and has no subject to time, is of truth. The bible was not in the beginning nor does it speak, or hold the foundations of the world or is in all and through all, or is the final authority. God is authority. And He's been replaced with a book. The thoughts and will of God spoken to mankind. One will not hear these thoughts if they are living in vain. One could say since the bible speaks of no electricity, no technology...no internet, Or cars, etc. Then a man should not have any of this. We are told to sell all of our possessions. . Or one can simply say knowledge was made available to certain men and women who were inspired to create such things for the world. There is truth and inspiration revealed every day, that which is known. Through science, through many things that is ignored so mankind can hold on to their vain imaginations of whatsoever they want the scripture to say to suit them. The bible has become a Golden Calf. Not many know how to seek the Lord in purity and properly, because they are too busy idolizing a book and reading instead of hearing true wisdom by the master teacher and bringer of light and revelation. The bible or scripture is not a sword, God is the sword. The bible and scripture has been translated, endless times, through the hands of many many men who you know nothing about, and whom have changed, added, removed, and abused it all so much and yet your trust is still in this and men. You trust in all of that over the Spirit. There is one mediator, and it's not even who or what you think it is, or the bible. There is life and so much potential in you, and you choose to waste it in vain. If you could never have a bible again, would your life crumble, would you lose God, would it change you internally at all? Before I even knew what a bible was, I knew right from wrong. The commandments and laws are scribed and written deep in a man's heart, brain, and mind. We have that nature, our Creator designed is a certain way. We just choose ourselves and darkness through points of our lives until it consumes us and we are the walking dead without even realizing. To limit this author of life and the universe to a book is absolute audacity at its finest. You worship a book without even knowing it. A book and oneself is exalted. Faith "IN" Christ is not a belief, you genuinely have to be IN the Lord and since you have no idea that the Lord is in you or how so, it's all vanity. There is one God, and one access to God and it's IN you, and you must be IN that. You look up to the heavens and see nothing, you see the sky just as everyone else. When you see the heavenly places within you opened up, and that Spirit poured upon you, and reigning in your life, let me know. Trust me, you can't miss it when it happens. Learn what being IN the Lord means. Do you still believe that when you pray, that prayer goes to a man sitting in the sky, who relays that prayer to the Father who is sitting right next to Him? Do you know what the Godhead dwelling bodily means? I understand it's difficult, the NWT has eliminated any means of really amazing truth to create an all literal, outward, physical perspective on everything, paint a wonderful historical timeline and lesson, and that its blasphemous to go against the big wigs sitting in their NY corporate offices. . But your duty is not to please them, or yourself.
