One of the most effective control mechanisms the church ever adopted was this phrase:

“The Holy Spirit will never contradict Scripture.”

That sentence is not Scripture.
It is a leash.

It was never spoken by Jesus.
It was never taught by the apostles.
It emerged later, when institutional Christianity realized that a people who hear God for themselves cannot be controlled.

The Holy Spirit is not limited by the Bible.
The Bible was inspired by people who were still, in many ways, veiled.

Paul himself said,
“We see through a glass, dimly.”

The entire point of the gospel was not to create better Bible readers.
It was to bring humanity into union.
Into Christ consciousness.
Into oneness.

And yet the church took a book that points to the Logos and used it to beat the very people who carry the living Logos.

That would be funny if it weren’t tragic.

It is astonishing that people believe a bound book was “with God in the beginning.”

You were with God in the beginning.
The Logos was with God in the beginning.
The Word became flesh, not paper.

And somehow the church convinced people to subjugate themselves to a text instead of following the Spirit who inspired it.

Then they parrot phrases that were introduced to suppress revelation.

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard…”
They quote it,
but never finish the verse.

“…but God has revealed them to us by His Spirit.”

The same Bible they use to silence revelation
explicitly says revelation continues.

Then they weaponize phrases like,
“Do not add to or take away.”

That phrase was never about the Bible.
There was no Bible when it was written.

It referred to individual scrolls,
a common historical disclaimer authors used to protect their work.

And yet the canon itself has been added to,
taken away from,
translated,
edited,
and rearranged.

Words were changed.
Books were removed.
Books were included.
Councils decided.

So let’s not play the hypocrisy game.

The early disciples turned the world upside down.

Why hasn’t the modern church?

Why forty-four thousand denominations?
Why endless division?
Why constant policing of revelation?
Why fear of the Holy Spirit speaking outside approved language?

Why does the church guard people from God
instead of guiding them to Him?

Because systems survive by controlling access.

The church has become a gatekeeper
instead of a doorway.

Instead of equipping people to hear God,
it teaches them to distrust their own communion.

Instead of encouraging the mind of Christ,
it demands conformity to interpretation.

Let me be clear.

I am not subjugated to a Bible.
That Bible is not my authority.

It is a map.
A witness.
A signpost.

And maps are not destinations.

Those who live by the letter
and use Scripture to accuse,
silence,
and dominate others
are out of order.

The letter kills.
The Spirit gives life.

If you use the Bible to strike the body of Christ,
you are not defending truth.
You are resisting it.

And instead of telling everyone else to repent,
maybe it is time for the church to repent.

Not repentance as apology.
Repentance as metanoia.
A change of mind.

Put on the mind of Christ.

Stop telling people to say sorry
for not believing like you.

Stop silencing those who carry the Spirit
because your interpretation feels threatened.

I will not listen to someone asleep from below
tell those who live from above to be quiet.

The Logos is alive.
The Spirit still speaks.
And the era of fear-based control is ending.

The Spirit was never imprisoned in a book. 
The book was meant to lead you to communion. 
Living truth does not ask permission from systems. 
Those who hear from within are not rebellious. 
They are remembering who they are.
