the Bible, as divinely inspired as it might be, is not God. It’s a book. Or rather a collection of books. But it is not the Word, the Logos of God, the Word made flesh. The Bible is very clear that honor belongs to Jesus
“when we trust in God’s gift of grace through Christ and believe in His forgiveness and justification, we are accounted righteous as though sin did not exist in us.”

“the function of the Spirit is to lead us into all truth. Now, truth is a Person and that Person is Jesus. Thus, at a deeper level, the Advocate works both in and for us, bringing us into recognition of our essential Christ-union.”

“The truth is that God has appointed each member in the body as He wills. As you grow in intimacy with God, your passions will emerge. But don’t assume that the passion God gives you is the passion God expects of everyone. God has gifted you and appointed you as He sees fit for the purpose of edifying the body. Your calling (and my calling) is not to heap guilt upon those who do not experience what we are experiencing, but to edify the body in love as God gives us the opportunity.”

“Love is the all-or-nothing of the kingdom of God. Above all we are to love (Col. 3:14; 1 Peter 4:8). Everything we do is to be done in love and, thus, communicate love (1 Cor. 16:14). We are to imitate God by living in Christlike love (Eph. 5:1–2), and if we do this, we fulfill the whole law (Matt. 22:37–40; Rom. 13:8–10). If we lack this, everything else we do is devoid of kingdom value, however impressive it might otherwise be (1 Cor. 13:1–3).”
