The Living Word | Patriarchs

It’s easy to fall into the trap of worshipping the Bible, or even studying the Bible, and turning it into an idol.

There is no understanding, spiritually, that can come through labor or rational analysis.

Although we may be naturally drawn to and enjoy the experience of reading the Bible, all of its meaning is exposed through Grace.

And the pattern preserved in the Bible of the salvation of the individualized consciousness in every man and woman is downloaded through experience.

We individually are the source and the experience that is described in the Bible.

And we gain an affinity for deeper understand when we see it as a reflection of our own experience.

But it is always secondary to our own “I Ams.”

And our intellects will never be able to break apart the pattern in the Bible in a way that we can digest and turn into personal wisdom.

It is only through the predestined and predetermined accumulation of experience that the pattern in the Bible becomes recognizable to us.

There are two classes of Christians, fundamentally determined by this distinction.

The pattern in the Bible is preserved by the lower class and spread for the sake of the upper class of Christina that have accumulated suffiecient experience to appreciate the Bible as our personal story.

Everybody will serve in the role of the upper class of Christian at some point in his or her mortal experience.
