For too many conservative and fundamentalist Christians, their conception of the Holy Trinity is pretty much “the Father, Son & Holy Book”. In other words, many are guilty of “bibliolatry” — worshiping the bible, often to the exclusion of the Holy Spirit.
In response to such heresy, here is an interesting quotation from Ted Haggard that he posted on Facebook last week:
“The Bible didn’t die on the cross for me, it tells me about how Christ died for me. Jesus’ blood saves me, the Bible tells me about that, but it didn’t bleed for me. Jesus will never leave me or forsake me, that’s what the Bible says, but I might not have access to a Bible always — but I always have access to the Holy Spirit. The Bible is not God, it is the book that tells me about God. We must not worship the Bible, that would be idolatry. We worship the God of the Bible. That’s the difference – and it’s very important.”
