scripture is neither of these.

scripture simply offers us a beginning of a personal relationship with our True Father in heaven.

scripture is scaffolding that helps us get our house built.

but after our house is built, then we need to relate directly to God for ourselves. It is a real, living relationship.

Saint Paul is our perfect example of a man who went through the learning curve of Jesus Christ to pass into Life.

But he is not a pattern for us to follow.

Each of us for our own selves must come to God. And talk to Him. And get to know Him.

If I decide to something or other today..... It is nothing to do with things saint Paul wrote a long time ago.

No father wants his child to come to through another.

Scripture is just a starting point for us in getting to know our Father. It is not a new 10 commandments.
