Probably is NOT "the Bible is the revealed word and will of God" as so pronounced by VPW. (And that probably wasn't *his* original thought anyway.)
Instead, I'd venture to suggest that it's simply "God loves YOU." In my work out on the streets with homeless people and with young pleasure seekers, it is truly astonishing how many don't know this. And they may have been going to church for years, decades.
God loves each and every one of us. May not love what we do, but loves us nonetheless.
What would you say is the greatest secret in the world today?
I'd go with that.
I'd consider the greatest secret NOT in the world today to be the date and time of Jesus Christ's return.

Jesus Himself, will be personally deciding everyone's eternal location.

That's a good one... I also think that the folks who continue to preach that these are the last days, may be off as well... the preterists certainly would dispute that belief...
the Bible does not interpret itself that has grown up here in some in fairly recent years.
This is a very equivalent to the belief that the Bible is of un-coordinated origins, and lacking authority in lives today. It's not the work of an accurate God, nor an authoritative God who is powerfully in charge. It follows that the Bible is not the revealed Word and will of God in this thinking path.
Yes, it's out of context, but I want it noted that I finally agree with Mike on something.
The funny thing to me is, the REASON you keep having to fight off this pattern of thinking is really simple:
The evidence leads to this conclusion.
And if you're really following the evidence, you will keep ending up on the same road.

Maybe we can discuss this a little more on the new thread Twinky set up.
