Milk, meat and bread (hidden manna) are in the scriptures. You are only able to feed on what is necessary for your growth at that particular time. So it's a lifelong pursuit (or should be). Peace

Do you revere the Bible?
I wouldn't put it on a pedestal to be idolized.
However, I can appreciate the inspirations.

Feel you need it everyday?
I don't feel it is necessary to drink the milk of others on a daily basis.
Although, others may find it comforting or having a gently calming effect.

Disclaimer: Read it with discernment, not all parts are edifying.

But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit--just as it has taught you,>>> remain in him.

The fact that you heavily rely on a bible that is viewed from thousands of different angles goes to show you know nothing outside the bible(inluding God for God is not the bible), but you also are susecptible to every wind of doctrine and belief. Knowing by the peace within is what you should be seeking, but i don't hold out much hope of you due to your love of the bible.

An easy, "Sure, I could leave it alone for 2 weeks and pray.''
Or a , "What!? How dare you ask me that?"

Does the Bible give you a high, an inspiration, a good feeling or could you feel all that
being alone, in solitude with God's Presence...or waiting for It?
Thanks
Why would someone want to turn away from God's Word?

The only one susceptible to every wind of doctrine is the one who is still filled with his own breath (where did you THINK those winds come from? ). And since we know that His word is G-d breathed, we should fill up on HIS breath, not our own. Which, coincidentally, is why things strangled (with THEIR breath and blood still in them), is unclean. Better see to that hack you got, right away. And you wonder why I LOVE the law.....it's so.... revealing. Peace

If only you loved God and one another more than the law. You undoubtedly will be "judged by the law" since you choose to love it and follow it instead of Christ's instructions to love God and each other and repent when we don't. When it comes time to reap what we sow, I am confident Christ's instructions will prove to be the wiser choice.

His Word, His Breath. Always has been, always will be. You cannot separate the Breath, it IS His Spirit, it IS Him, the Spirit is NOT divided. Peace
