Without the Bible -- I am NOTHING. All my beliefs, thoughts, actions, hopes, dreams... my life's purpose -- it all amounts to nothing without my belief in the truth of the Word. Where else do we hear about the Law and the reason for sacrifice and how the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus was needed to cover the sins of mankind. What other book or person am I suppose to live my life for? In Psalm 119 (among many other verses) we are told that the Bible is the Truth and we should DAILY live our lives by it. We either believe this or we don't. I choose to believe it. There is nothing else I'd rather measure my life by, and nothing else I'd rather live in accordance to. "If you were on a deserted island and could have only one thing with you, what would it be?" "the B.I.B.L.E. -- yes that's the Book for me... I stand alone on the Word of God... the B.I.B.L.E." Of course I also cherish my relationship with God in three persons -- but any spiritual experience or revelation I may have in my relationship with God (or other Christians), I still use the Bible as a means of validating, confirming, measuring, guiding, instructing, etc. Splash |
