the same as having faith in our Wonderful loving Saviour ?.
What if your belief in the word is just mans traditions and doctrines brought about by mistranslations of the bible ,what is he left with?
He is my Rock , who is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Before you start saying i am belittling the word , i am not , i read my bible daily.
8Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One),
I believe that our union with Him is a life that is fed by His spirit (duh!) and the Bible is used as bread. But the book alone is not where our source is; He is the living God, not the book. He injects life into our reading, but apart from Him it's dead.
I think you can understand what I'm saying, as I'm half asleep.
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: (but) they are they which testify of Me. (John 5:39)

Then why the thread? Very simple Pcamps if the bible is a fake then Christianity is a farce.
Prove me wrong Pcamps: Without the bible how can you prove God, Jehovah, God the Father is the true, one and only God? and not Buddha, Allah etc.......

Because even without the written word (and thank God we have it in this country...for now) He is still the Deliverer He was to His people in Egypt? The same sovereign Promiser He was to Abraham? The passover Lamb He was in Exodus?
The High Priest He was in Leviticus?
The Fire by night in Numbers?
etc. etc.
They would've loved King James though, even if they couldn't read it.

Your answer really didn't tell me anything. The written word has always been here. How do you prove the validity of His word to others without His words?

How did Peter know Jesus was the Christ ?
Please don't tell me because He was standing right there before Him or He whipped out a copy of the OT
How did Simeon know the boy Jesus was the Christ ?

That doesn't answer my question. Jesus will not be physically standing next to you when you are witnessing to an atheist. Ever heard faith comes by hearing? so what is the person hearing?

Peter grew up with the Torah, the one Jesus as a child read to the elders and they were astonished in what He was doing.... I'm sure your familiar with the teaching.....
The Torah and two other large sections make up the Tanakh.
Directly following the Torah are the books of the prophets consisting of eight books and covering the seven major prophets and the twelve minor prophets. After the books of the prophets are the writings, consisting of eleven books, from Psalms to Chronicles.
Peter and all the other's knew the prophesy and teachings of the their coming Messiah. And of course the Holy Spirit is the one whom opened their hearts to the witness of who Christ was, in what they had been taught.
Blessings
