“Even Jesus- as God in the flesh- did not counter satan with His "experience" in Matt 4. He quoted the WRITTEN word! That's a pretty strong endorsement as to its' authority”. And the Written Word Jesus spoke of was the New Testament??? In all my learning, since there was no New Testament for Christ or the Apostles to refer to, they spoke of the Old Testament and the oral teachings they themselves had rendered as the word of God. When they spoke of the Word, it was not only the written word to which they speaking. Romans 10:17 (NASB) So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. 1Peter 1:25 (NASB) BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER " And this is the word which was preached to you. Faith comes from hearing, which is an oral communication. And 1 Peter tells us the word was preached, again an oral communication. So where does it mention that the written word will supplant the oral teachings of Christ and the Apostles? Just something to think about. WOS |

Hi WOS, Romans 10:18, "But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; "THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD." Do you see, personally, a capitalized "Their"? Romans 10:17, NASB, "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." [or concerning Christ; other ancient authorities read 'of God']. From the heart, Ray |

Okay, I'm lost now. Don't take this the wrong way, I'm probably just missing the point. But what does your reply have to do with th question I posed? What is the reference to a capitalized "Their". WOS |

Hi WOS, Even though the Hebrew of Romans 10:18 was written in all capitals, I believe that the "their voice" and "their words" are not talking about God. They either refer to the sound of the heavens declaring the glory of God (see Psalm 19:1-4) or is talking about the preacher in Romans 10:14 and 15 who bring glad tiding of good things. So I agree with you in that "the Spirit works in us in more ways than the written word. And I agree that the written word will not supplant the oral teachings of Christ and the Apostles, especially as we have them in the New Testament. Yet, with that said, the bottom line is that the people of God know the One who is speaking. Isaiah 52:6, "Therefore My/ people shall know My name; therefore in that day I am the (One) who is speaking, 'Here I am.'" 7 How lovely on the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace And brings good news of happiness, Who announces salvation, And says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"" Isaiah 50:3, NASB, 1997, "I/ clothe the heavens with blackness And make sackcloth their covering." 4 The Lord God has given (Me) the tongue of disciples, That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple. 5 The Lord God has opened My ear; And I was not disobedient Nor did I turn back." The slashes and parentheses are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |
