Modern Christians are so dependent on the written words that they simply forgot all about the original source (GOD).
I have seen many Christians that can't defend their claim on why they believe in God without quoting the scripture.
In fact most Christians can't answer one simple question or even defend their faith without going to the Bible.
The best way to fully convince an unbeliever that you're serving a living God, is by using your own personal encounter and experience, because simply quoting the Bible, "to them" is like asking someone to believe in stories without you having any tangible evidences. As a Christian it's your duty to be able to defend your faith with powerful proves, not just words.
you're suppose to use your personal experience first as an example, then use the scripture to back up your claim.
  I know the Bible is our guard on how to come closer to God and know more about all his plans and so on........  "DON'T GET ME WRONG, I STILL BELIEVE IN THE WRITTEN WORDS (BIBLE)."
Lets say for example, God decides to remove the Bible from this world, and ask us to write a new Bible with our own biography, experience, encounters, all we've witness. Do you think the lifestyle of this generation will be worthy enough to create a new Bible? I don't think so. "Why? you may ask!! If nothing but the whole real truth is to be told, our stories won't be convincing enough to captivate, motivate, encourage, attract, inspire or boost the next generation to strongly believe or have unquenchable faith in God or His son Christ Jesus.
Am afraid that our stories will rather destroy the real image of our Lord Jesus and all his true teachings about the gospel will be lost.
We have no real encounter with Jesus, no real story that have not been twisted to mislead people, we barely have anything that is qualified enough to be used as an inspirational text for the next generation, that's why most of these generation Christians can't answer simple questions without using the scripture, they are not confident enough in themselves or have any convincing stories about their encounter, spiritual accomplishments that is powerful enough to be used when preaching to an unbeliever.
We are not worthy enough to write and compile a new Bible because the level of selfishness, wickedness and greed of this modern generation is beyond words.
I don't think the selfish heart of this modern generation will allow that Bible to tell real stories without it being twisted, exaggerated, manipulated to mislead people for their own selfish gain.
If we can't even read the Bible without twisting or misquoting it for our personal gain, then how can we that purposely misuse the Bible for personal reason, be worthy to write a perfect one?.

The men and women mentioned in the Bible are just simply people, with little to no education what so ever, yet hundreds of years later, their stories are still being told and it motivates million daily.
They were so faithful in carrying out their duties perfectly without twisting, manipulating or misusing words for their selfish gain, they were not selfish or into using the word of God for money making business like this modern generation Churches, they were into it for the love and joy being shared, and not for the praises or fame, they stand for truth and nothing more, most of them died for their faith, they didn't build or live in mansions and have cars, they were just simple people who lived a simple life, but carried out all their duties perfectly till the end. Today the whole world knows and still talks about their accomplishments. "(WHO KNOWS ABOUT YOU OR YOUR STORIES AND YOUR ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS, APART FROM YOUR FAMILIES AND CHURCH MEMBERS..... IS THAT ENOUGH?)...... Just a food for the thought.

Believing in the words of the Lord is never enough, it's your solemn duty as a Christian to have good knowledge on the true  standards to the words of God. You really need to know the difference between the genuine one from the twisted and manipulated ones from the pit of hell.  Most churches these days have different versions of the Bible, remember; not all churches belong to the body of Christ Jesus, and Most of them only function on assumption not realization. If a pastor or denomination leader gains wealth, power, respect and fame off preying upon the hurt, the hopes and fears of any sick, misguided, depressed, desperate or ignorant Christians, He or She is simply heartless and truly "a very wicked person."  If your wealth, respect, power or fame is gained off distorting, manipulating the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, you are not of His body, "short and simple"!! Sowing and reaping is biblical yes, but most time, the seed the Bible is referring to, is...

Whenever people begin to study the scriptures without a prayerful, teachable spirit, they will twist the plainest passages away from their tire meaning. The whole Bible should be given to the  people just as it reads. The word of God is plain to all who study it with a prayerful heart. People are blinded to Satan's deceptions. He succeeds in displacing the Bible with human speculations. People set aside the Law of God, and the churches are in slavery to sin while they claim to be free. The false doctrine among the churches remove landmarks that the word of God has established. Few people stop when they have rejected just one truth. The majority set aside one after another of the principles of truth, until the reject the Christian faith altogether.    The errors of popular theology have driven many people to skepticism. It is impossible for them to  accept doctrines that outrage their sense of justice, Marcy, and kindness. Since the churches say that these are the ...

People now claim that Christ resurrection on Sunday made it the Christian Sabbath. But neither Christ nor His apostles gave any honor to the day. They admit that the New Testament is completely silent about "any explicit command for the Sabbath (referring here to Sunday, the first day of the week) or definite rule for its observance." The son of God came to "exalt the law and make it honorable. “Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true.  Remember that as long as heaven and earth last, not the least point nor the smallest detail of the Law will be done away with — not until the end of all things.  So then, whoever disobeys even the least important of the commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be least in the Kingdom of heaven. On the other hand, whoever obeys the Law and teaches others to do the same, will be great in the Kin...
