Doctrine Law vs the Spiritual
My new devotional is entitled Jesus Calling, not God Calling. I bought it because of the title as I am very easily focused on Jesus even tho I have yet to buy a Red-Letter Bible, with only the words of Jesus quoted in it.
Since Jesus is quoted in the full Bible mentioning Jonah for example, this gives greater authority to that prophet, one might think. This could give some stumbling blocks. Those concentrating heavily on doctrine are often found less attentive by the spirit than the physical in my view.
Nevertheless, since Jesus agrees with the Bible He is quoted in the devotional as author of it. For those troubled by this difficulty, I can only suggest giving more emphasis to John 17. The spiritual is highlighted there.
