Just who are you speaking to?

There is a spirit world and we are told not to contact it. It is a world of entities that can be evil.

There are evil spirits in high places. Even Michael the Angel rebuked satan as he did not want to speak to him.

There is a spirit and it lives in God's word. The words are spirit. The Holy Spirit. We can be filled with the spirit through God's word. It is the food for our spirit and Christians hunger and thirst after righteousness in the word of God.. they will be drawn to feed on the word to know Jesus and praise God for what He has done for us. Redemption is the gift for all who receive it.

It's abundantly clear that you've never actually experienced God...and deep down Mike, you know I'm right...no matter how much you bluster otherwise. Seek God within Mike and quit looking to others to spiritually feed you because they are feeding you stale bread which is stagnating in your gut.
I've told you once about the insults and adversarial tone of your posts.

No one knows God apart from first, the gospel which leads to eternal salvation, and then after having been saved, learning what the word of God says about God.

And again, this is a sidebar. The topic of the thread is that the Bible is the word of God.

I'm speaking about the Holy Spirit that dwells in all of us...the Holy Spirit is not evil and it is not the words in a book...you are still sooooo very confused.

Apparently early church fathers and modern day scholars didn't/don't view the Bible as the inerrant Word of God. I wonder when this cognitive dissonance will wear off.

"Nowadays, as is evident, there is a great diversity between the various manuscripts, either through the negligence of certain copyists, or the perverse audacity shown by some in correcting the text, or through the fault of those, who, playing the part of correctors, lengthen or shorten it as they please." - Origen


"Certain Christians, like men who are overcome by the fumes of wine and care not in the least what they say, alter the original text of the Gospels so that they admit of various and almost indefinite readings. And this, I suppose, they have done out of worldly policy, so that when we press an argument home, they might have the more scope for their pitiful evasions". - Celsus

"Besides, it is not at all fair to bring this charge against the Christian religion as a crime unworthy of its pretended purity; only those persons who were concerned in the fraud should, in equity, be held answerable for it" (Origen, Contra Celsus).

"They write down not what they find but what they think is the meaning; and while they attempt to rectify the errors of others, they merely expose their own" (Jerome, Epist. lxxi.5).

"Now, inasmuch as all interpolation must believed to be a later process… One man perverts the scriptures with his hand, another their meaning by his exposition… Marcion expressly and openly used the knife, not the pen, since he made such an excision of the scriptures as suits his own subject matter" -Tertullian(De Praescript. 38).

In his book, Introduction to the New Testament, B.W. Bacon wrote: "The Christian can only mitigate the disrespect he feels for plagiarists and impostors by the reflection that the conscience of the second century had practically no recognition for those literary crimes, rampant as they then were in the Church" (p. 168).

In his Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament, by Dr. F. H. Scrivener, he writes that: "In the second century we have seen too many instances of attempts to tamper with the text of Scripture, some merely injudicious, others positively dishonest".

Because, according to Mike, and so many others who have been indoctrinated and brainwashed...God "dictated" the words...word for word and none of them have ever been changed, added to, deleted, etc.

When will Christians ever learn that it is the Spirit WITHIN that guides one INTO ALL TRUTH...and not a book.
