The Bible alone is not true. It was not true in the hands of the devil when he tempted Jesus. The letter kills but the Spirit gives life. It is the Bible plus the Spirit that is actually true. Truth is a person. His name is Jesus Christ.
Perversion is the truth taken out of context. Out of the covenant of God. We take Jesus and attempt to manipulate him.
The Bible doesn't always tell us what God thinks, rather how God thinks. All the Bible is in God, but not all of God is in the Bible. The Bible cannot always tell you what to do in your life; but, it can tell you how.
Jesus said, "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life."
The goal of the Bible is that it takes you into relationship with God. The Bible is purposefully written in paradox so that when you read it, you have to have the Spirit leading you. Having a relationship with God is a requirement for receiving Life from the Bible.
