No, but I worship God Himself which wrote the whole WORD (Bible) and that’s really the purpose to have the Bible written so that we can understand and how one is to be saved, and so that mankind can be reconciled to Himself.

It is simple my friend: Eph. 2:8-9 “For by Grace you have been saved through faith, and this (faith) not of yourself, it is a gift of God that no man may boast”. It’s really very simple. The word is His means to save us through faith in Jesus.

The Bible hasn’t been manipulated and changed, God wouldn’t be very sovereign to having created us, this universe and all of creation, as well as providing His plan for salvation, just to let it become corrupted (it hasn’t, btw. the contents which are identical to even the earliest records we have: the Dead Sea Scrolls).

And you still haven’t proved that I have “misused them”!!?

“and that’s really the purpose to have the Bible written so that we can understand and how one is to be saved, and so that mankind can be reconciled to Himself.”

That is a misuse of the written word. The early Christian had no New Testament, they were saved by the Holy Spirit that was spread amongst the world after Jesus defeated death...and themselves testifying to the new grace that was dispensed for all, who are willing. That is why you are misusing the bible.
