Find me the verse that says Jesus gave authority to a book instead of a Church, and I’ll regard you as something more than a religious flim-flam artist.

There's a tagline just waiting to happen.

“Find me the verse that says Jesus gave authority to a book instead of a Church, and I’ll regard you as something more than a religious flim-flam artist.”

“1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4But he answered, “It is written,

“’Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,

“’He will command his angels concerning you,’ and “’On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”

7Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.”

10Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written,

“’You shall worship the Lord your God
and him only shall you serve.’”

11Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.” — Matt 4
