Bible Question (short): Word or word? |
Question (full): It is said that Jesus and the Word are synonymous. I would agree if one is talking about the Jesus and the Son. The problem comes when we capitalize the Word of God, the Holy Bible. Then we have a misunderstanding between the Word, Jesus, and the word of God, the Bible. In the verse for this thread we can see the problem by comparing the NASB with the Amplified version. Question: For Luke 8:11 is the parable talking about the Scriptures or about the Son of God? Luke 8:11, "Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God." From the heart, Ray |
