Close. The word can be verbal or written but the word is the Godhead

Yes, it can, but the Bible is not the Word. Don't make that mistake. God did not promise a book and there is good reason for that. Look at what Christianity has done by claiming that book as authority and NOT looking to the Spirit first, using the characteristics of the Spirit as taught by Jesus and Paul in the sermon on the Mount, Cor 13 and Galations 5: thousahds of denominations claiming to have the truth.

Whining can be a gerund.

It may be of interest to know that I am there briefly at some point every day since. The mind is a mystery.
I did not know this and glad I do now. And wow..bless you.
I never have read you 'lecturing' or intolerant , either!
But I do know the meaning of the word 'projection', lol....kettle/pot... And we
are mirrors for each other.

That is funny. I talk about 9/11 enough that I assume it is something everyone knew by now.

It's just a dodge in any case.

The problem is you wouldn't know GOD, or even about the spirit, without the book you see. So this is an impossibility. You wouldnt even know WHO God is without the book.

Once it was completed, God no longer directly spoke with man. His plan became using humanity to spread the gospel. People who think the spirit is going to guide them to do anything outside of Gods written word are not wanting to learn who God and his purpose for humanity.

The spirit is great. It guides everyone in scripture. It is what prevents us from sinning more than what we do, having the laws written on our hearts by the holy spirit.

Anyone who rejects Gods word to us is rejecting GOD himself. HE IS his written word to mankind+ the spirit which activates those written words making them real. We may not like what God expects of us in the written word so can pray to anything and say any reply is of GOD. This is what my brother in law who had schizophrenia did. Trust me, what HE thought GOD was telling him was NOT of GOD. I know because I read the bible, his word to me. GODs written word+ the holy spirit is how GOD communicates with us
