How holy is the New Testament?

[ViaCrucis]

In my church....There is only God.

God's in my church too, but there's also the pastor, the choir, and all the rest of us as well. Seeing as God is present in His churches there doesn't seem to be a particularly good reason to go it alone; especially since we have the promises of God, in Christ, that He will meet us in His Word and in His Sacraments. Christ says, "This is My body" and "This is My blood" and so He meets us every time we gather at His Table. And it seems to me that it would be prudent to fellowship with God on His own terms, rather than demanding that He do so on ours. He, after all, is the Boss, and we are but mere servants of the Great King.

Good luck to you.

 

[John 1720]

Ok I don't want this question to cause any discourse between us all but it's a question many non believers ask.
How can we prove that the New Testament is to be relied upon for guidance, how can we be so sure in this day and age that we are receiving the correct message.

Rather than write it out it may make more sense to bring you up to date on what they are finding.

Thanks Ted, I honestly feel that I have felt the Holy Spirit come upon me and I wept for Christ. I never read the bible and I was not going to church, this is such an illogical faith for me, that I can't see the bible like others but I'm sure God touched me in some way.
I have been trying to make sense of it all but I can't. It's why I'm so curious about scripture.
To make matters worse I have an aversion to reading the bible as I think it's boring, it just doesn't make sense that I feel the way I do. Yet in spite of this I feel so sure God has spoken to me and revealed his son to me.

If that is true, the Holy Spirit will leap out to you from scripture. Not only will you find scripture vital instead of boring, you'll find it presents you with more and more intentional contact with the Holy Spirit instead of a chance meeting.
