No JD; my belief is that there is no relationship with Christ apart from acknowledgement of and obedience to

His Word. It makes no difference how it is received or whether or not one is in possession of their own personal Bible. (In our generation we have no excuse). The Synogogue came out of the Babylonian captivity and the original purpose for this was to teach the WofG to the children who were born in captivity.  I'm glad you include Bible study in your list below because without it there is no plumbline.  Anyone who is off following dreams, visions, and fellowship could wind up following the angel of light and they wouldn't know the difference.  jt

You believe that there is no relationship with CHrist that is apart from the bible itself.  My point is this:  there have been thousands, if not millions, who have no bible  from the first century on.  They could not curl up by the fire and read ANY scripture  --   it was kept in the synagogue or whereever  --  what about them and your theology. 

 

I still say that Christ HIMSELF is the issue as He manifests Himself in dreams, visions, fellowship, prayer, fellowship bible study and the like.  Do I still sound like I do not know what I believe ??  Jd

The codex were scriptures, and the Bible is scriptures.  jt

So was the codex called the "Bible."

It does not play into anything; upon what grounds would you make such a statement? The dark ages

where ppl were illiterate and the rcc kept the scriptures chained to the pulpit were much later. jt

Judy, do you accept that thousands of Christians of the first and second centuries never personally

read nor studied the Bible?   How does that play into your point below.
