1 | What is a two-edge sword? | Heb 4:12 | Jepson | 24131 | ||
Heb. 4:11-13 Why is the Bible called a two-edge sword? In vs. 12 "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edge sword...." This verse indicates that the Word of God is sharper than a two-edge sword, yet the Word of God is called a two-edge sword. | ||||||
2 | What is a two-edge sword? | Heb 4:12 | Emmaus | 24132 | ||
I believe Heb 4:12-13 is referring to not just to the written word of God, but in a deeper sense to Jesus himself,the living Word of God. " No creature is concealed from Him...to whom we must render an account. See John 1:1 and Rev 1:6. The written Word comes forth from the Living Word, Jesus. |

3 | What is a two-edge sword? | Heb 4:12 | Jepson | 24177 | ||
I think of the Bible as a two-edge sword this way. It is like a weapon that gives eternal life or eternal death. It has the power of life and death. Heb. 4:11-13 uses adjectives to describe the Word of God. Words such as living, powerful, piercing, discerner. The Word is living, meaning that the spoken word in Gen 1 became a living human as seen in John l:1 and John 1:14. Word, as seen in these verses is the Greek word Logos, meaning the living spoken word. That is God in the second person as Jesus. There is nothing hidden from God. He knows us as if we were sliced open by a sword, our spiritual destiny, that is "piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit". Prior to our birth He has known us. Then there is the physical aspect of our lives, that is both "joints and marrow". The activities and behavior we choose to be, or not to be, invloved in this life are known to Him as well. We can hide our thoughts from those around us, but God knows our deepest secrets. He is a "discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Nothing about us are hidden from Him. When we memorize the Word and evangelize, the Bible as a two-edge sword can be an effective weapon used in conquering enemies of God. |
