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.

I see it a little different John.  The Holy Spirit helps me to understand the Bible.  He doesn't call me several times a day.  I call Him when I need clarification, just as your child might if the electricity was off and he could not find the breaker box.Terry
