Any thing that degrades the written word is abomination.
Leave the Holy Bible alone.

LOL“…the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.” (Jeremiah 6:10, KJV)
Do you actually think he was talking about the Bible?
A history lesson is in order.
Good point.As usual in these discussions, folks don't distinguish between the Living Everlasting Word of God, the Logos which sustains all of creation, in other words Jesus...
Agree.And the Scripture - a reference to Truth given by God as written text that can not be understood of itself, but the reader will only understand the Truth as the Holy Spirit gives understanding and discernment.
What? I'm stunned. The former being what exactly? Rightly worshiped?Two very different entities - both precious - The former alone is rightly worshiped.
Good point.
Pretty sure I do, but thanks the comment. (others may benefit)
Agree.

I hope you didn't mean the Bible. (Rightly worshiped?)

As in "the Word"? (Jesus)Only the first entity is to be worshiped.

Probably seemed obvious to you, but perhaps not to other readers.

Wow Steven.....when I read this I thought it was so good I just hoped you wrote ever bit of it.From the OP (with new emphasis)
I have encountered some that I thought had fallen into this trap.
I asked them, "What would become of your faith if you put your whole library out on the curb on trash day?"
The guilty are left mostly speechless. Or, alternatively VERY angry. How come?
To be clear, I love the Bible and use it every day. But I know the difference between the book and the author.
In my experience, my relationship with the author is much more important than my relationship with the book.
Appropriate scriptures come to my mind all day long. Due to the work of the Spirit to quicken these things to my memory.
- The Bible is not omniscient. (all knowing)
- The Bible is not omnipresent. (everywhere present)
- The Bible is not omnipotent. (all powerful)
The Bible does NOT love me.
It's paper and ink, maybe a leather cover. (or digital info)
That cow didn't die to pay my sin debt.
A true Bibliolator will demand chapter and verse to support my premise. - LOL
The bottom line:
Let's use the Bible to grow closer to God and each other, rather than as a weapon to destroy each other.
John 13:35 NIV
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

You may not be DEAD but you're down for a 10 count with all I'm reading concerning your 'training'. I totally correct the errors I find in my bibleS. I corrected my bibles AGAIN just last night. Actually I corrected 6 of them. And only ONE did the verse justice.Im seminary trained, ive perfomed extra studies regarding "extant Grk Texts". "manuscript evidence"... etc, etc.
So, as i said, i am a BIBLE BELIEVER, and i would not be caught DEAD trying to correct the word of God.
Believe it.
So, the Jewish concept of pre-existence is unknown to you.By the way, Jemeriah 6:10 is a reference to what Jeremiah, under the unction of the Hoy Spirit was speaking as a Prophet of God to Israel.
This was a manifestation of the Eternal Word of God, (Jesus speaking through him) he wasn't reading Scripture.
For those who doubt Jesus the Son of God spoke and was respected in OT times - consider the following verse...
Psalm 2:12
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Yes. The content solely of my composition. Feel free to share. Thanks.So, did you originate the whole post?

There are no contradictions in the Bible. There are "apparent" contractions, which are resolved once the passages are properly understood.So, you have never seen any contradictory passages in your bible?
May I suggest that you get yourself a copy of a book called "Hard Sayings of the Bible." In it, not only will you see those passages that contradict, you'll see "experts" dance all around trying to explain some of them. But then, it is your choice in how you learn scripture.

Behold,"agenda'..
What is the person's agenda.. for being on a forum.. or for writing a commentary... or for making a Video.. or for declaring that the bible is "filled with errors".
When you discover their Denomination, or their Calvinism, of their Catholicism, .. or their "Mary Baker Eddy" relationship....
When you read a Translators "greek commentary".... ... what is their AGENDA, ? What is their Denomination... What is their root theology.
Its like this reader, and im not casting stones..
But, if you are a Mormon, a Catholic, a Christian Scientist, a Calvinist.... or any other man-made Theology Disciple, then you are OF that Purpose for being on This Forum, or any Forum.
Everyone here has their Agenda, and it's always going to be.. "what Calvin taught", or "what your denomination teaches"...
That's your Agenda, and that will focus your point of view, regarding the bible, as to BE any Theology, its because you were taught it..
That's why you are here..
You are here to argue your belief......and here is the issue.
Unless your Theology is based on Paul's Doctrine, ONLY , as He teaches it, then you have a problem.
And to solve it, is to see yourself......as then, you can get away from whatever it is, that is not Paul's Doctrine...
If you're a Catholic, then you are built on Peter and Mary and Water Baptism.
Paul Isn't.
And i can do that with every man made Theology.........like Calvinism, or Joseph Smith..
So, you dont need to have a tantrum...... what you have to do, is get out of all of that, and learn what Paul's Doctrine is.. and stay there.
"behold that is just your opinion"...
No, its not, as Paul told you to "be a follower of ME, as i follow Christ."
So, that excludes all other MEN, who have created "Theology" that you are believing...and teaching.......if im talking to you.
God bless you to see it, and no longer be that one.
And to get you started...
Understand that there are "no Denominations in Heaven".
God is not a Catholic.
God is not a Baptist
'God is not an Assembly of God.
God is not a Calvinist
God is not YOUR DENOMINATION, as it was created by a MAN.
All denominations are man made.
Christianity, the "church" is GOD made.
Are you a born again Christian?
Then here is your denomination...
"Bride of Christ"... "Temple of the Holy Spirit"..>"Heir of God".. "Joint Heir with Jesus"... "In Christ".. "one with God".
See those?
God made those, not MAN.
