Hmmm. I'm completely calm. The questions I asked were rhetorical. ;-)
You are avoiding my gist of my thread however. You're wishing to take the Bible as "above" the Church and yet the canonized Bible was formed as a result of the Church. The Bible can tell you no more about the mind of God than the Church can.
What words in the Bible are those of Jesus? The ones with the red letters? Then which of the words in the non-canonical gospels are those of Jesus? Some, none, or all?
