I'd like to add a comment to this. At 1:12 I say that I believe that Fellowship is more important than God's Word, the Bible. That was poor phrasing on my part. The Scriptures are paramount and supreme as to how we live our lives and the final authority in them, inerrant in their original forms. What I meant was in a "normal" existence, IE not in solitary confinement or times of extreme circumstance having the Word of God, without fellowship with God and His people is a lesser experience for us. As we previously discussed earlier in this Bible Study understanding the Word brings it's power to change in a life and this happens most in fellowship as the Word by the Spirit through other believers bears fruit in a persons life. "More important" was a poor choice on my part and not an attempt to minimize the Word of God and it's role in the world or our lives.
