I always include scripture as I write! So, to try to assert scripture is not my authority is grossly wrong, and *probably* because you cannot refute it...you resort to asserting that.
Remember this...anytime you want we can enter debate! It is not to try to convince one another though Biblewriter...it would be about the scripture that says "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens his friend". That would be my point! You're accountable to God...not me, and vice-versa.
Also...stop trying to say I don't read the whole bible...because even as you assert that...I'm in Genesis 45 as I read the bible through in a year. I've *probably* done that more than you have.
As for how I study the scriptures Biblewriter, you have no clue. That doesn't even deserve a response!
Let me add this:
Jesus stated in John 8:
I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.
Now I'm just as you, a sinner saved by God's grace. I'm not perfect, and neither are you. God opens our eyes as we learn to let the Holy Spirit enlighten us. As we read the scriptures through life God will do that *if* we open to the Holy Spirit. That is a lifetime struggle as we read, and read, read, read, and read some more.
I don't have a problem conceding I'm wrong...when God convinces me that I'm wrong.
