You have been very clear Cheryl, thanks!

I agree also on the importance of understanding that the Holy Spirit and the Word work together. After all, even if the written word is not as full a revelation as Christ, it is still a revelation of God. God does not disagree with himself!

I had to nut this out myself at Bible College where I was told that it was the BIble that sanctifies us (John 17:17), and that Christian Worship was gathering around the Bible, and that all of scripture was required for a believer to be made perfect etc. This was because every NT reference to the Word was considered as a direct reference to scripture alone. Realising that Jesus was the greatest revelation of the Word of God opened up so much more meaning and understanding for me in the written word! I guess you could say it is one of my hobby horses 😉

I love it when we agree with each other and disagree with the opposition!
