The Bible is the Word of God

Hello Lutero,

The Bible is the Word of God,

The Bible is a book which contains the Word of God, Lutero. Jesus is the Word of God. He is not contained in a book (John 21:25).

whatever one may say or think otherwise.

Whatever you may so or think otherwise, the Bible in your hand is not Jesus Christ and it is not God. It is a book.

I/we magnify God’s Holy and precious Word above everything else.

We magnify God above everything else (Luke 1:46).

That is my strong conviction of the truths of His Holy Word and as an ambassador in chains as St.Paul says – for the sake of the Gospel.

YOU consider yourself an ambassador of Christ but deny that the Church and the Pope are ambassadors. Mighty humble of you.

I however, recognize the authority of the Church as Scripture teaches (1 Tim 3:15; Eph 3:10) and the authority of the Pope (Matt 16:18). But your authority, I see nowhere in Scripture.

Protestants never make a idol of a book its simply your imaginations.

It is you who said you hold it above the name of God.

They only abide in the Word of God because its all sufficient for them.

The Word of God is sufficient for us as well. However, we acknowledge the truth of Scripture which tells us that the Church teaches the Word of God (Eph 3:10) and that our Priests teach the Word of God (Heb 13:7) and that the Word of God is passed down by word in Tradition (1 Thess 2:13). And we also see that the Word of God teaches against Sola Scriptura.

After all the scale of preference in a democratic society is always an alternative forgone.

The Kingdom of God is not a democratic society. It is a Kingdom, ruled by Christ through His Church.

Sincerely,

De Maria
