1 Thessalonians 2:13
13 For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

You are giving the Bible the same authority as you give God. You can't give anything the same authority as God.
And you can follow that through starting from here also
John 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
John 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
John 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. (see John 13:20 also)
John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
1 Thes 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
These being sent
John 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
He also says
John 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
They are all of one
Heb 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren
Because you belong to Christ (pertains to them having the Spirit of Christ, See Romans 8:9)
Mark 9:41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
Mat 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

You are giving the Bible the same authority as you are giving God. You can't do that. It is true that the Bible quotes God and Jesus often, and God and Jesus always spoke the truth, but you can't give the Bible the same authority as you give God.

Why do you profess to be Christian and reject the Bible??? You're drastically confused and making false accusations!

I do not believe the Bible has the same authority as the Lord, and I have a right to defend my position.

I am a believer in Jesus Christ. And what false accusation have I made?
Not if you don't believe the Bible is God's written Word!
Two of them were pointed out already in this thread.

Quantity does not mean that is is better in this case, NOT! What about quality or writings and absolute truth?, do you believe the words of Jesus are truth? I certainly do and I have complete faith in Him do you believe, trust Jesus, the messiah, the prince of Princes, the Lord, the Labm of GOD, the son of GOD?

My only "accusation" is that I believe some people give the Bible the same authority as they give God, and I think my "accusation" is correct.
And where did you get the idea that you have to believe the Bible is God's written Word to be a Christian? I believe in Jesus Christ and try to obey all of his commandments.

no one is rejecting the Bible here, these are false accusations. you act just like the pharisees did in the time of Jesus.
