You miss the point about Rice and his JCSS. The "opera" does not help the salvationary spread of the gospel. You just think it does. Satan is more deceptive than your realize (Genesis 3:1)

And in this very way, Satan does further God's rather awful purposes. God is not even trying to save everyone.

On the matter of worshiping the Word of God "versus" worshiping God, I think you need to quit imaging competition here. You need to have a much higher view of God's Word. The connection between the Scriptures and the Second Person of the Trinity is more solid, more perfect than you realize.

God has highly exalted His Scriptures in ways that you haven't noticed.

The "opera" does not help the salvationary spread of the gospel.

I contest that assertion and submit myself as evidence.

Even if JCSS was totally wrong, JCSS steered me toward the Scriptures. If Rice was trying to hurt G-d, he merely forgot G-d's power.

I'll ask you again, does your pastor preach?

Shalom.
