1 | Love God, His word, any difference? | Ps 95:10 | Ray | 153566 | ||
Hi Doc, I am having a tough time getting you to distinguish for instance your seven distinct ways and the Way; distinguishing between the words that proceedeth from the mouth of God and the Word that proceedeth forth from God. I think that I will simply decide that you choose to capitalize the Word of God, thus showing your respect for it. I'll leave it at that. 1) Your Matthew 4:4 reference is a passage that has especially interested me through the years. Satan is saying "If You are..." in verses 3 and 6. What do you think? Is Satan asking Jesus to make these stones [I think of the commandments written on stones] Bread? Connecting the verse with 1 Peter 2:4, do we come to Him as to a living Stone? What do you think? Is Jesus being asked to make these stones loaves for Him to eat; thus making the commandments His bread? What do you think? Does Jesus apply the word of God quoted from Deuteronomy 8:3 to His own life on earth; thus saying "Even I as a Man do not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."??? 2) What are your thoughts about 1 Peter 1:25? "But the word of the Lord abides forever." And this is the word which was preached to you." From the heart, Ray |

Dear Ray, "The Way" is simply Gospel living. Before it was called Christianity, it was called simply, "the way." Believers are livingstones per Ephesians 2. Christ was a perfect example of how we are to live. See, for example, where He states that He does nothing of His own, but only under the auspices of the Father. We are told in numerous places that the Word will last forever. In Him, Doc |

Hi Doc, In Acts "the way" was considered to be a sect. But if you belong to the "Way" that is a different matter. Acts 24:14-16 1) Ephesians 2:17-22 and 1 Peter 2:1-9 are a perfect match to my mind. 2) When you say that the Word will last forever, you would agree with Green's Literal Translation for 1 Peter 1:25, "But the Word of the Lord remains to the age. And this is the Word preached as gospel to you." [Except you would say He is for Gospel living]. I would rather have the word of God in verse 23 agree with the word of God in verse 25 which "remains" to the age. This is the word of God which was preached as good news [the gospel]. From the heart, Ray |
