Is the Bible all you need for your morality?

The same Spirit that guided the writers of Scripture can guide the born again believer.

Thanks for voting. A "No" here implies that you need more than the Bible for morality. Can you give an example of a moral tenet that wasn't derived from the Bible, but came to your from the HS? (Or am I missing something? As usual. )

Me thinks the poll question is tricky.......if you mean do I believe the Bible contains all the necessary "moral code" that I need to live by....the answer is yes.

If you are asking does one need more than the Bible to possess morality....the answer is YES! I can have the Bible memorized and tattooed on my eyelids (that would be rather interesting/painful I would think) but but that makes me no more moral than standing in the garage makes me a car.

Yes, that's the question I intended.

Meaning just knowing what it says isn't enough: you have to put it into practice?
