I believe the 'you' to your question is more powerful if it is a walking proof of God's word.

It depends on what you mean by powerful? I can pick up a tennis ball, but the Bible can not. I can try and live my life the way God wants me to but I will almost always fall short, but God will still accept me. The Bible does not fall short because he authorized its writings. The first example I am more powerful, the second the Bible is more powerful.

The Bible teaches us how we should live our lives. If you have the knowledge and understanding of what is listed and described in the Bible, then I would say that a person is more powerful. They are able to encounter more people. I know that millions of people read the Bible everyday but non-believers do not. If a person is knowledgable of the Bible then they are able to reach and communicate with those non-believers who probably would never have looked at a Bible on their own.

Me. The bible is a tool. It is good and holy, but a bible can't do anything. I have to use it, I have to read it, I have to learn from it, study it, and ultimately apply it. Therefore I am more powerful than a bible.
However, if you are trying to say am I more powerful than the word of God, then of course I'm the weaker. For w/o the word of God, I could not even exist.

Simple Put? The Bible! The words of God has the power, to heal the sick, the lame and give confort to the broken hearted.
The word of God can take a drunkard and make him sober, a drug adict, and clease him and give him a new heart, and a meaning for life. But most of all! It can take, a person, by birth a child of the Devil and give him a New Birth, making them a Child Of God.

To the gullible and deluded masses, it would be the religious tomb (bible, quran, torah, etc..)... no matter what they may say otherwise. Their lives are an illusion centered around a fantasy. For the others, the individual is stronger and must always be accountable for his and her actions.

Me. Humans are living things and thus have energy stored in them, the bible is just a book with fictional content.

Depends on how you define power.
I can hurl my bible, my bible cannot hurl me.
The bible can delude more people than I can.
I can have new ideas, while the bible cannot.
I guess others will have to decide what measure of power means the most to them.

I guess it depends on a person's intention and how they choose to use the Bible.
