I would never argue that the gospel can be found in the new versions. That's not the debate. The debate is whether or not the new versions can be trusted completely concerning all truth God has for us.
I guess the words are just words but the spirit behind the words is where the spirit of Christ is found. Only a few people can see this because it can only be seen through 100% faith in the words.

I would think that someone who fluently reads Greek And Hebrew could see the spirit of Christ behind the text. Jesus ways are no different today than they were before.

Example: What truth do we have when it comes to homosexuality? If what we believe comes from a bible that cannot be trusted, then we have no standard to live by.
With that attitude, then it's not a big deal for a believer to obey Scripture. Just do your own thing. Follow Jesus, but that's not necessarily following His word. That's insane.
Remember the Word is Jesus, not the bible. Controversial, but true statement. Watch my new typing style, no more dots people have complained about that to me im trying to learn how to type proper
I agree. And good luck to learning new typing habits, perfection is not needed but somewhat proper typing helps follow along and makes your post look more serious.
Again you are making the mistake and using Bible and God´s word as synonyms. They are not.
God´s word is a message or information from God.
Scriptures are written books or letters by people and inspired by God.
Bible is a library, a compilation of various editions of Scriptures. Made by people.
You cannot trust your Bible in every word. Some Bibles are very good, some are very bad, the KJV is so-so.

Again you are making a mistake by using words of Jesus and your Bible edition as synonyms. They are not. You have only a translation of selected manuscripts.
And yes, Scriptures are "only" useful. Bible is not our God. Its our tool. We live by Spirit, not by any material thing.
