Bible Question:
Has everyone seen the following exchange of posts (ID# 46919)? tomn posted: "Words, spoken or written, are ONLY symbols which contain an idea that we are trying to get others to understand. Such as the idea that "the Bible IS the TRUTH" ONLY in that it has words which contain the ideas of God about what is TRUTH. Ideas like as the rain of vs10 has an effect on that which it drops, so will God's ideas have ALL the effect He wants them to have on those who hear His ideas." kalos posted: "It is not true that the Bible merely contains the Word of God. The Bible IS the Word of God." tomn posted: "kalos,please don't reply to me unless you do more then mindlessly repeat what you have been taught." |
Bible Answer: Greeting Kalos! Just an observation about your statement: "The Bible IS the Word of God." John 1:1 states that "In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God." How did the Word become "the Bible?" John tells us that "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us!" (v 14) I agree, the Bible is indeed the Word of God, but dare we limit God by suggesting that He can ONLY speak to us from these Divinely inspired pages? God often speaks to me through the posts on this Forum! Shouldn't we all be bothered when Forum members (I include myself here too!)stoop to "name calling" or slander the ideas of others in an unloving manner? "Let your speech (conversation) be full of grace" Col 4:6 Blessings, Mommapbs |
