Worship of the bible is idolatry, because it places the bible between us and God.Bryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-87894733097816974322010-08-31T07:40:19.720-06:002010-08-31T07:40:19.720-06:00I love your thoughts and perspective on things.

I'm 64 (almost 65)<br />2. I came to this realization approximately 5 years ago after being submerged in church life for 59 years.<br />3. Not counting my fundamentalist son, I have never had the experience you describe here.<br />4. I'm still working on the issue of the Bible being supernaturally inspired.<br /><br />That being said, I know if I hold to the path I am on, the experience you describe is bound to happen. The strange thing is....I am looking forward to it.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04148676728860411325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310981.post-14534432305200038492010-08-30T05:22:48.064-06:002010-08-30T05:22:48.064-06:00Bruce puts on raincoat and hat and moves away from...Bruce puts on raincoat and hat and moves away from fan anticipating shi* hitting the fan. :)<br /><br />Great post Andrew. Thoughtful, honest and sure to irritate the heaven out of some people.<br /><br />my view is similar to yours EXCEPT I don't believe the Bible to be supernaturally inspired in any way.<br /><br />A relative of mine, an evangelist's wife said <i>"That is one of the saddest statements I have ever read. You CAN KNOW...its all in the Bible!"</i> <br />In her world the Bible is the divine answer book. The harder this position is to sustain the more they seem to fight.<br /><br />Once again, great post, Andrew.<br /><br />BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
