"What part of The HOLY SPIRIT inspired is repellent to you?"

No part at all. The HS, as promised, guided the bishops of The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church to define the canon of the Christian bible and the Fathers to properly interpret it with reference to the Holy Tradition of The Church which the HS guided the earliest bishops to teach and practice. This is called "Orthodoxia" and "Orthopraxis".

"There is no spin in God's HOLY Word."

If you mean the bible, sure there is. The Johannine Comma springs to mind. There are other examples.

"Only God's Word is Holy...."

Really? Funny, the Mohammedans say the exact same thing about Allah's Koran.

"...there are no blessings to behold without HIM/HIS Word."

Are you equating God with scripture? Don't tell me you're one of those who think when +John wrote Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος. οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν, +John was referring to the bible!!!!!!!!!!

"So according to The Word Jesus, The Savior, yes, I am blessed. I hear and obey and don't lean unto my own understanding nor am I tainted by man's teachings/traditions."

Well, good for you! :) Your comment puts me in mind of an observation made by a monk about 1400 years ago, "An angel fell from heaven without any other passion except pride."

I'm still among the chief sinners....

Reading your post, I agree.

"'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'"

God's WORD REIGNS! Jesus is THE WORD, Thank You, JESUS!

Unfortunately there are many fringe, “nondenominational” self-proclaimed “popes” who make the embarrassing equation between John 1:1 and the Bible, treating the Bible as if it were Christ: The Word of God = the word of God. Bad translations, lead to bad theology. But anyone with more than a single digit IQ score knows that.
