I got into a discussion about how we know and find God's love. Their stance was we find it via the Body of Christ. My stance is we find God's love via the Bible, prayer, and the Body, not just the Body of Christ alone.
He then argued that I think I can't find God's love via people because I am expecting perfection from people.
I then argued that people are imperfect, so I'm ALWAYS going to turn to scripture first, people second.
So, church family, which is it? Am I right to look to scripture first? I've seen people twist God's love, why would I rely on humans?
Please give scripture and wisdom.
