If this is true...?

Question

Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.

And we can see God by invisible attributes, why do we NEED the Bible. Not that it can't be useful, but why do we NEED it? Was Paul wrong or right?

Answer 1

the bible guides and affirms just like any other book of knowledge and thats a good point imo ... its not made for mindless following by ritual ... its an asset but its nothing without a believer with faith and the Spirit of God ...

Answer 2

God’s word tells us that He is self-existing and ever-existing. In eternity past God was there. At a certain point he made a decision to create man. God’s desire was to have this man express Him in His image and represent Him with His authority earth (Gen 1:26-28) The bible tell us in the very first page of Genesis that God’s creation of man was different from His creation of all other things. He created man in His own image. Let us illustrate this matter by using a glove. A person’s hand cannot fit into a handkerchief because it does not have the image or form of the hand. Because the glove is in the image, the likeness, and the form of a hand, it is able to contain the hand. A glove is made in the form of a hand for the purpose of containing the hand. In the same way, the human life was created according to the image of God so that God could dispense Himself as the divine life into the human life. Man was created not only to express God but also to be God’s representative authority. The unique way for man to express God and represent God is to receive God as his life that man may become a counterpart of God. Man was created with the capacity to receive and contain God’s divine life. All of man’s human virtues, such as love, honor, and goodness, were created by God so that man may have God’s live and live out the divine attributes

By the creation, we know that there had to be a creator. It is a testament to the fact that God exists- but the creation does not reveal the details of exactly who God is, and His deeds throughout history and His moral laws, etc. We need His written revelation- the Bible, in order to be aware of those things.

(((And why would anyone post that blasphemous chain letter that alters & makes a mockery of the word of God? No wonder some atheists scoff!!)))

Answer 4

Received this as a mailing from the Old Catholic mailing list:

THE CHAIN LETTER OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS
_________________________________________________________________

The Chain Letter of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians WITH CHARITY
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE This epistle comes to you from Philippi. Grace
be to you and peace. Spiritual gifts will be delivered unto you within
four days of receiving this letter--providing you in turn send it on.

2. This is no joke. Send copies to whomsoever among the gentiles or
superstituous peoples of other denominations you would comfort in all
their tribulation. Do not send material things. Charity vaunteth not
itself, is not puffed up.

3. While visiting the Household of Stephanas, a Macedonian proconsul
received the epistle and was greeted by his brethren by a holy kiss.
But he broke the chain, and now he is become as sounding brass or a
tinkling cymbal.

4. Gaius bestowed all his goods to feed the poor, and gave his body to
be burned, but it profited him nothing. He failed to circulate the
letter. However, before his death, he received the unleavened bread of
sincerity and truth.

5. Do note the following: Crispius had the gift of prophecy, and
understood all mysteries, and all knowledge, and had all faith, so
that he could remove mountains. But he forgot that the epistle had to
leave his hands within 96 hours, and now he is nothing.

6. In A.D. 37, the epistle was received by a young Galatian woman who
put it aside to copy and send out later. She was plagued by various
problems: thrice she was beaten with rods, once she was stoned, and
thrice suffered shipwreck. On the last day of these occasions, she
spent a night and day in the deep. Finally, she copied the letter. A
trumpet sounded, and she was raised incorruptible.

7. Remember: Believeth all things, hopeth all things. The chain never
faileth.
