Subject: Knowing the Word |
Bible Note: one brief comment. It may help if we do not use the word "word" when referring to the word scripture . Jesus said Mat 4:4 "MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'"" He did not say "every scripture". He did use the word scripture (graphe) many times but not in this instance. For the sake of accuracy it may help if we do not substitute one word for another. We should not exchange the word "scripture" for the word "word - rhema" or for the word "word - logos". They do have 3 different meanings. Jesus did not say "but on every scripture that proceeds out of the mouth of God. There is no evidence to suggest that every word that came out of the mouth of God became scripture. My intention is soley to focus on keeping things clear as to what the scriptures say. Otherwise we will certainly lose our way. |
