Subject: Why Matthew is "introduced" late... |
Bible Note: Hi Rowdy, I appreciate and agree with all that you say here. Upon examination, to my mind I would only change the capitalization of the Word. I honor the Scriptures and would capitalize the word "Word" if it did not confuse who or what we speak. That is why I speak of the word of God, the Scriptures. You spoke of His Word being protected. God Himself does not need protection but the Scriptures do indeed need to be upheld and protected. We definitely do have the whole *word of God. I say all that in the spirit that Luke was expressing; in the desire for exactness and accuracy. Don't feel that I am finding fault here, and I do not expect everyone to talk about the word of God. But we have to be aware of the difference between the word of God and the Word. From the heart, Ray |
