Is the Bible alone sufficient?
Do you think it is possible to simply read the Bible, with no extraneous study materials or personal guidance, and come to a saving faith? Do you know anyone who has?
There is no reason to listen if I cannot hear. Just Another Voice,
I think it can be sufficient. I haven't done it personally - God used people to help me commit to listening by sharing their convictions. I didn't use any extra books, though. Do you think that's foolish?
I think that if we read the Bible, in its original language, no one could help but come to faith. Note I didn't say saving faith! ;-)
For the original languages show our Lord and Savior to be so much bigger and more loving and more SUPERNATURAL--there would be no doubt as to who He was, is, and is to come. There would only be Love.

Absolutely not - you're one of the smartest people I know! ;)
I read the Bible several times on my own and so has my Dad, and neither of us could make any sense of it other than some historical things.
I wonder what other people think?

Couldn't tell you, not much interest in the topic. :)
Another day, perhaps?
Present Missy
Perhaps.
See ya later,

I meant LANGUAGES.
