I get your point. But there are plenty of practical living issues that--apparently given current thinking--are hard to determine by simply reading the Bible. For example:
Is gay marriage valid?
Is abortion permitted?
Can married couples divorce?
Can we sue other Christians?
There are arguments on both sides of these questions, and Christians line up both ways. So without some kind of direct guidance from God, simply knowing the Scriptures seems inadequate.
Thoughts?
