mind = blown there lol
10when you obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, when you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
11“For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off.
12It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’
13Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’
14But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.
and i guess furthermore, not only is the bible not the Word, the Word is not even...in the Bible; though i guess i'm going to have to find a better way to say that. His commandments and His statutes are not the Word, not nowhere, and although i'm trying, really hard, the commandments in v10 are not the commandment in v11, are they? They are even two different things. The commandment in v11 is to obey... well dang, nope, it is to turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
What a trip. Better to start at the bottom, and read it backwards, huh. Man, i have to fix a bunch of posts now lol, which i don't even know why i am still posting here

Bible Search: gospel word

You would have to show me fallible. What i'm getting at the moment is "follow the Word, and you will follow the Book." Like, even if you didn't have a copy of the Book, that doesn't matter, if you follow the Word, you would be following the Book anyway. Can you shred that one any?

which doesn't mean that you can't...find a mistake in the Book, but that is Operator Error, looks like to me. So, you can find a mistake in the Bible, but there are no mistakes in the Bible, see what you can do with that one.

even if i am getting closer, by the minute...because the Word is the Truth, and the Bible is not the Word, the Bible is the Law, and the Law is fallible...well dang. Lol.

What is the Spirit going to guide us into if it isn't the Scriptures?

I don't think they are saying that the Bible is wrong, or that It is mistaken, but that It is a Book of Law, and so It is...mis taken.

"because hippies" means that you had to become a fundie first because if a Love Your Neighbor projector came up to you first with this, you would have rejected it, because hippies. You did reject it first. You got approached by a Love Your Neighbor--only of course they weren't saying that, because the Word is not the Bible, and they were completely finished with the Bible (if they ever even picked It up; irrelevant), they were saying some hippy sh_t, as far as you were concerned, and so then you went and got fundied--because Bible--to get Lawed--because Baby.
And you don't ever have to change if you don't want to; that is totally up to you. You have been saved when you have faith in Christ, when you walked through that blood-stained door, no longer a slave, out of Egypt, and you can die in the Wilderness, looking at a snake on a pole, or you can get to the Promised Land, which few find. Either way you have to take grandparents with you.
