Absolutely not.
When I was a God-believer, one of my beliefs was that for a person to trully know God they must believe out of their own living experiences, noy by the reports of others.


That is very true.

Worshipping God is a personal relationship between God, Christ and the worshipper his, or her, self. Only they can fomr that bond. It cannot be forced and comes only though knowledge. (John 17:3)

Of course for that knowledge to be valid and real it also has to be accurate knowledge.

That knowledge can only truly be gained through God's word, the bible, since, it is the only record we have, and the thoughts of man are too easily influenced by Satan.

You are clearly just another book(e Bible in your case) worshiper. I suppose it makes you feel safe.

No I don't worship the book, though since it is demonstrably God's word I do respect the wisdom in there.

However as a current argument shows I trust the principles and meanings in there, but not necessarily the actual words.
