Different churches vary in their emphasis upon:<\/p>\n
I have seen a mixture of these sources in most churches, but you will generally find that:<\/p>\n
My personal experience leads me to rely on the Bible – not as a legal or scientific thesis, nor as poetry or drama; but as a way of being drawn closer to God, and being given ever new understanding as I read it.\u00a0 In that sense it is a living book.<\/p>\n
I find it important to share in worship and fellowship with other believers, but I have also found all visible human organisations are flawed in some way.\u00a0 The media have more than enough material to use in their attack upon visible church organisations.<\/p>\n
And while we rely on human reason for so much, it is very flawed as a source of guidance.\u00a0 You may find the “Liberal” churches to be subject to the latest social fads and causes, and most illiberal in their application of them.\u00a0 Human logic alone can lead us to some illogical places, and the Age of Reason ended in the Age of the Guillotine!<\/p>\n
Let us explore what the Bible says.<\/p>\n

5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone\u2014
7 while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels shouted for joy?<\/p>\n
when it burst forth from the womb,
9 when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10 when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,
11 when I said, \u2018This far you may come and no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt\u2019?<\/p>\n

Given that “I am” is the name God claims for himself (Exodus 3:14)<\/a>, was this a claim by Descartes for humanity to supplant God?
Has it been used in the modern world in that way?
