Of cause it is you, do you really think I would expect you to say otherwise?.

So clearly I do not reject the scriptures. There's never a day go by when I have not mulled over and dwelt on them.

See. Scrolls are BOOKS, NOT the Word who is Jesus the Christ.

The Word was made FLESH, NOT a BOOK!!!

The Word that was in the beginning...would that be accurate, Mystic? Before
vocal chords and pen and paper? That Word?

The Roadmap to Disney World is not Disney World.
Neither are the ramp or the Exit sign...

For an analogy, how about a long car trip without a map of any kind, in a foreign non English speaking country, without any money, credit cards, phone or even the ability to see out your windows? That's about what trying to understand G-d is like and what He expects, what He has set in motion, without the book. But please....go on and drive away....oh, and no one to tell you to..... LOOK OUT FOR THAT CLIFF!.....either. Peace

My philosophy is; All roads lead to home.

Physically and spiritually.

Never said not to use the Roadmap...just that it was not Disney World....the roadmap can't take you to
the top of Space Mountain...nor to the depths of the Pirates of the Caribbean.
Putting it down and walking into The Magic Kingdom with your own 2 feet can do that.
A guide, Jesus, and a roadmap, the Bible, are great things.

An inbuilt one. What use is the peace of God the leads us forth being outside of us?. The road map is for those who are lost.
