Why then the Bible?

Because it was written by the Holy Spirit?Terry


Of course I believe the Spirit had a role in giving us the Bible.   That is not the point.  


If we have a Spirit that tells us what we need to know,  why do we need the bible?   Look at what is being said.    It is like me writing a letter of instruction to my children on what to do with the house when the wife and I are on vacation and then telling them, "if you have a problem with the letter, don't worry, I will calling you several times a day and making it clear as to what I want done."  There is no point in my writing the letter if I am going to suerintend their handling of the letter.   Not to mention that this teaching results in the believer having to say that his/her interpretation is right because it is inspirited.
