hello: I'm not asking what we SHOULD do or what is the RIGHT thing to do... I'm asking what YOU do...
Thank you :)

Answer 1

I rarely find "answers" in the Bible. I often find "insights", and more often find "questions" which are resolved through prayer and meditation and study. If I need answers, well, I ask :-) That might be prayer, asking others, or even asking myself (i.e. reason)

Peace to you.

Answer 2

To me, that's like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg? Reading my Bible strengthens my relationship with Jesus, and my relationship with Jesus makes me want to read the Bible more. Sometimes, I get the answers straight from the Bible, sometimes stuff in life happens to illustrate or expand on what I learned from the Bible, sometimes the Bible explains what just happened in life, sometimes I just know the answer through prayer even though it's not specifically addressed in the Bible. So, the answer is both. I can't have one without the other, they're equally important.

Answer 3

a faith or a sect or a cult? There are cults that each and everyone themselves Christians and that they don't seem to be, and there are people who have faith that Catholics are Christians and that they don't seem to be, however the Catholics have a Bible they adhere to with non-canonical books stated as the Apocrypha that are actually not scripture and there are some cults such that produce extra advantageous-biblical literature and perverted scriptures yet are actually not Christians. Mormons have faith they have extra advantageous-biblical revelation which God gave them and have faith they upload to the revelation given by scriptures and are stronger to the Bible. Jehovah's Witnesses have their New international Translation of the Holy Scriptures it relatively is in actuality a Bible with some scripture and a few enhancing to make scripture say what they like it to declare in spite of the shown fact that that's not the Christian Bible and the tenets and doctrines are actually not an identical. the main depended on and powerful version of scripture is the King James version which became produced by potential of a set of the main found out and truthful human beings available in 1611 below the value from King James. that's been the main constantly used version of all time and rather well worth examining. So in essence the respond is - NO! not each faith utilising the Bible is Christian.

Answer 4

Both. Which one is more prominent? Can't tell. Sometimes I go to prayer for answers and somethings I find them when I read the bible. Finding the answer to your spiritual inquiry does take more patience, sensitivity, and trust in God than ordiary questions.

Answer 5

Both

The Bible is Guidance

Prayer is a Relationship with God

Answer 6

Both. I cannot have a relationship with Jesus Christ without the Bible, and without times of prayer and fasting. They are not mutually exclusive. One without the other is dead.

Answer 7

It is because of my relationship with Christ that I can pray with any confidence and my prayers are based on the Word of God. Without the Holy Spirit, I will not know or understand the Word of God in reference to praying or understand when God answers.

Answer 8

Neither, I rely on my spiritual relationship with Goddess and God to give me the information that I need to figure out what I need to for myself.

Answer 9

They both go hand and hand. First we should pray for a relationship with God, The bible is the life of Jesus Christ.

Answer 10

Answers? Definitely prayer and my sacramental ministry throught Christ, our Lord. Sometimes the Scriptures will have something interesting to say about some certain point....but the answers usually come through prayer and meditation.
