"which christian are you talking about?"

the bible is not the Word of God

Jesus is the Word of God

we do not worship a book

we worship the Giver of the book

and the One revealed in the book

we must read the bible often

but we must not read it without guidance from the Holy Spirit

if we read it in isolation, interpreting it alone, we run the risk of starting a church

 one not built on St. Peter

the bible read without the authority of the Church Jesus built on St. Peter makes the bible the most dangerous book in the world

we see the fruit of this everywhere

much of christianity has become something unrecognizable and non distinct

it has become a plethora of individual interpretations and bizarre denominations

"it makes little difference to call oneself a christian in our day.", the old man said,

"which christian are you talking about?"
