What's the difference between the living Word and the written Word?
The Living Word of God is the Spirit of agape love incarnate. The written word is man's fallible and pitiable attempts to understand.

Yet you use that "fallible and pitiable attempts" to justify to us your beliefs yet you do not allow others in disagreement with you do the same.

Please give us a list of the fallible portions of the written Word so we can better have your "understanding".

Easy peazy . . . ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that is incompatible and inconsistent with the Spirit of agape love, period. (If you need clarification of agape love see: 1 Corinthians 13, Galatians 5 and the Sermon on the Mount.)

Please stop using that "fallible and pitiable attempts" to justify your beliefs and tell us this non written Word you have. Please? I said please. If the Bible is so horrible and sorry why do you keep using it?

Show us the real source of your knowledge. Please?

The real source of knowledge is experience, discovering and learning.

The use of reason is more powerful than Scripture.

Some believers would say that you are following the Antichrist. The Roman Catholic's version of Jesus Christ. But that is your choice, isn't it?
