Subject: why five stones |
Bible Note: Hi Doc, I do not refute one single statement here. I do not in any way question the authority of scripture. I am not trying to be argumentative either. I believe that our tracks are parallel and very close to each other. Here are some facts. No commentary. I don't have time right now. Just an observation A thorough search of the scriptures will reveal that in the New testament that which is referred to in John 1:1 as "The Word of God" is never the same word as that which is used to translate the word "Scriptures". Mathew 4:4 is another word for "Word" Similarly in the old testament the word used to translate to "The Word of the Lord" (that came to Abraham or the prophets) is never the same as the word used for "The Law", The Commandment, or The Statutes". (The word scriptures is not found in the OT NASB.) Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. logos is used here. logos; from 3004; a word (as embodying an idea), a statement, a speech:--account(7), account*(1), accounting(2), accounts(2), answer(1), appearance(1), complaint(1), exhortation*(1), have to do(1), instruction(1), length*(1), matter(4), matters(1), message(10), news(3), preaching(1), question(2), reason(2), reasonable(1), remark(1), report(1), said(1), say(1), saying(4), sayings(1), speaker(1), speech(10), statement(18), story(1), talk(1), teaching(2), thing(2), things(1), utterance(2), what he says(1), what*(1), word(179), words(61). And here2 Tim 3:16-17 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. here it is graphê; from 1125; a writing, scripture:--Scripture(31), Scriptures(20). Matt 4:4 But He answered and said, "It is written, 'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'" here it is rhêma; from a modified form of 2046; a word, by impl. a matter:--charge(1), discourse(1), fact(2), matters(1), message(2), nothing*(1), remark(1), say(1), say say(1), saying(1), sayings(3), statement(6), thing(2), things(4), word(18), words(22).
