Bible Worship

The Bible is not the Word of God Part 1
Jeremiah 8:8
"How can you say, 'We are wise, And the law of the LORD is with us'? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes Has made it into a lie.”

Bib·li·ola·try: Excessive adherence to a literal interpretation of the Bible or excessive veneration of books
It is just a big word that means Bible Worship
I believe Bible Worship is detrimental for 2 reasons:
1. it diminishes the true worship of the person Jesus
2. it greatly limits the scope of text we would use for gaining revelation

It diminishes the true worship of Jesus because the Bible is not the Word of God. The perfect and infallible logos (spoken word), became flesh, dwelt among, died, was resurrected, sits at the right hand of the Father, and is now inside of us who are in him. Jesus did not become a book.

Many Christians prefer to have a relationship with text instead of the person Jesus and our Father. The written texts of Judeo-Christian history are a tool that we use to renew our mind; they are not the source of word. They are a historical writings that contain interpreted (filtered) revelation (uncoverings) of the true word himself.

Word is in our spirit if we are born again. Paul, for example, drew this word from his spirit as revelation knowledge and expressed this Pauline filtered content as text. We read what he wrote; as its truth unites with the word in our spirit our mind is renewed. Without word in our spirit (the source) we cannot have first hand revelation. Many people can read the text and get nothing from it because they have no source in their spirit.
