I read this statement, and it contains such truth I had to  share it...

We are living in a day when so many professing Christians are being raised, spiritually, on commentaries and other good books about the Bible. Seemingly, very few in comparison know how to effectively use their Bibles -- to study it, memorize key passages, and meditate upon it.

In reality we are becoming disciples of key Christian leaders, but not of Christ, who said "If you abide in My Word, then you are truly disciples of mine; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:31-32, NAS). Commentaries and good books have their place in our lives -- but they are no substitute for the Word of God itself.

Oklahoma Howdy to Shylynne,

AMEN!

As an analogy, the Holy Bible is the 8 course meal, and anything else is simply an appetizer or an after dinner mint.

Love In Christ,
Tom

I don't think he'd be too chuffed either:
Quote
12What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas[1] "; still another, "I follow Christ."
13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into[2] the name of Paul?

Oklahoma Howdy to Shylynne,

 Wink  UM??, everyone forgot their Bibles and there are no Scriptures to discuss. Nobody even brought a commentary or a good book about the Bible.   Wink

Don't take it personal - notice the smilies. The Bible Study Area is reserved for the Holy Bible, Scriptures, and discussion of Scriptures.

Love In Christ,

It works through Paul's living word inspired of the Holy Spirit.
Christians are disciples of Jesus Christ who adhere to His word through the inspired word of His apostles and others.

Rom 8:38-8:39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  

I can't be separated from Him.  Paul is between Him and I - Paul, I will meet some day - a wonderful teacher whom I will never equal.  But I will die for Him - not for Paul.  Paul would be appalled at anything less.  I am HIS disciple - not Paul's.

(Unless I am misreading the original question.)  Grin
