Jesus is the Word. The Bible is not the Word. It is an account of the Word.

That's what your church teaches you anyway...They have to elevate their man-made traditions to the level of authority as the spoken words of God...

The word of God is NOT just an account of God...There is POWER in the words of God which are the scriptures...Power that your church doesn't have when it goes outside the scriptures...

But actually, this statement is indeed very true in response to post 4: we are talking here and I think the statement in 4 could be made by different peoples of different creeds. The original statement from post 4 is "Jesus is the Word. The Bible is not the Word. It is an account of the Word." I don't find this correct but we all make mistakes or possibly not use the best choice of words and then it comes out not in the way it was meant. I mean maybe your spirit-filled Church has members that perfectly interpret the word and they are to be congratulated if so but I doubt if that is so.

However your original point I quote is accurate without using the rest that seemed to contain criticism. We have a Holy Spirit service at our Church on Tuesday nights. Some people appreciate such charismatic ministries.

Iscool certainly is correct that we should seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

I have apologetic books and there are apologetic websites on the internet. So often when one can be confronted with a known argument, it is relatively easy to search out some data in response. It works both ways.
