Re: Bible Worship


 


 

You are correct! No words are equal to the bible!

We are warned Deuteronomy 4:2 “You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take anything from it”(also Deuteronomy 12:32). The reason God is so adamant on this is because “The entirety of Your word is truth” (Psalms 119: 160).

"Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar" Proverbs 30:6.

  In our day there is the belief in “progressive revelation” that originates from outside the Word. What right does anyone have to teach what is not in Scripture as if it is Scripture?  False teachers do not want to submit to its original intent, so they do not seek what Scripture actually (exegesis) means, instead, they conform it to what they want it to mean (isogesis).  They will look to another source as their authority because they are not under God’s authority. This is why Paul admonishes us in 1 Corinthians 4:6: “not to think beyond what is written” (exceed or go past). Why? So pride will not have an opportunity to operate and puff us up. It is pride that makes one participate in false doctrine which makes him spiritually destructive to himself and others who listen to him.

The reason God is so adamant on this is because “The entirety of Your word is truth” (Psalms 119: 160). Proverbs 30:5-6: “Every word of God is pure; he is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.”

If we look at the context it saying “Every word of God.” God is stating for MAN not to add to his words. Adding does not only mean additional words, but can also mean changing them to mean what they do not. When you add new words as equal to Scripture you are really taking away from Scripture.

In the book of Revelation which is prophecy completes the Bible, just as Genesis began the Bible, it states "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this Book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this Book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the Book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this Book" Revelation 22:18-19.

Of all the books Revelation has the strongest warning as it has to do with the end of world system and the coming of the Lord to restore righteousness


Now to the rest of your questions. 

 

Are you asking do I have a good relationship (intimacy) with Christ?  You Bet 

Am I filled with the holy ghost? Why yes I am
 

In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

(Ephesians 1:13 ESV)

Am I blown about by the Spirit as if by the wind? I really do not know what you are asking. It sounds like a baited question

The only time I am really blown around is when I am possessed by the demon of the spicy bean burrito 

Are you asking if I am led by the spirit? if so then yes

 

Are you asking if if I am saved? well yes

Romans 10:9 ESV 

Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Do I love theology more than God?   Nope!

 

 

But how do I get faith? by hearing.....How do I hear?.........By the word of God

 

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

(Romans 10:17 ESV)

2 Tim 2:15

Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

We need the bible to divide this word of truth, for reproof

I love and worship the Lord Jesus Christ. He has given us a book of his word and has told us to test by that book. 

 

So as for your question of limiting God, or rejecting people who claim servitude. I do non of that. But all will be tested by the Bible. If it does not line up, then it is apostasy!
