"So-called Spirit-led beliefs?" So, those guided by the Word rather than the Book are...doing it wrong, iow? hmm

nice. where's yours, expat, your turn

So, you're quoting the Book to discount the Book?
This strikes me as cover, with all due respect.
This seems to obscure the cause, and highlight a symptom; that being the deliberate ambiguity of Scripture to engender just such perspectives as literalism.
So the Book you are quoting is condemned for working, iow.

"Genuine worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth."

"Father your word is truth."

"Consecrate them in truth."

So, you agree with pcamps, then, and discount the Book?

God's word is in the Book. Once one acquires it then they should use it.

Those who love God keep His word. I know Him and I keep His word. I love Him and I keep His word.

You cherry picking bible verse quoters need to prove to me that anything in the Bible was the word of god or Jesus. How do we know what they're intentions were? You won't believe in climate change and we have scientific evidence of that, so prove it...

Ah. Thing is, the Book is not the Word though. God's Word is not in the Book.

Those who are led by the Holy Spirit of agape love (Who IS God) ARE led by God. Those who are led by the Bible when it conflicts with the Holy Spirit of agape love are NOT following God. NOTHING can ever be from God if it conflicts with the Holy Spirit of agape love, period. Bible idolators have their priorities wrong.
