Choosing To Withdraw

Near the end of the first century, John the Apostle being led by the Holy Spirit wrote: Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’” John 20:17 (NKJV) By choosing to withdraw from bits and pieces of the Bible, in this case John 20:17, one could say that Jesus “ascending to” His God, and Father, doesn’t pertain to us today. This could eventually lead to one having the Bible cancelled altogether, in their mind. Could it be that portions of the Bible they want to withdraw from, shows them to be wrong? Without the Bible, I know that I’d be on the wrong side of what’s best for me. I hope I wouldn’t have taken it as far as to wanting to cancel the Bible altogether. In Christ Jesus, Jim
