Worship Word of God or Bible?
by brendyn on Jun.06, 2008, under Beyond Belief
“Many people think that the Bible is the authentic word of God and they worship the Bible, making it an idol…” Alan Watts, from “The Essence of Alan Watts series - GOD
That’s a beautiful quote. The Word is Jesus. Jesus isn’t the Bible. The Bible is a collection of books, inspired by God, translated and transliterated by men. The essence is true, the manifold on which it rests is, at best, susceptible to distrust.
Christian vs. Disciple

In all my imperfections, in all my religious habits, in all my abuse of grace, in all my distrust of God, in all my hate of others, in all my jealousy and wrath, in all my pride and discontentment, in all of my flesh, and with the thorn in my side…I will press toward the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus. I am a disciple of Christ, not a Christian.
Philippians 3:14.
