The BIBLE IS NOT THE COMPREHENSIVE WORD OF GOD. It may contain some records of the history which occurred when the Word of God came to various individuals. However, those original holy scripts were lost in the annals of time and we are only left with the feeble and corrupt translations of fallible men.
Nevertheless, God’s word is more than written scriptures, biblical translations, paper and ink or digital transference of scriptures.
Even the Holy Scriptures tells us in John 1:1-3 that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were created through Him, and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created.
And Hebrews 4:12 confirms this TRUTH by saying “For the Word of God is living and all-efficient, and much sharper than a double-edged sword, and it pierces to the separation of soul and spirit and of joints, marrow and of bones, and judges the reasoning and conscience of the heart.”
And according to the evidence presented to us in the scriptures, The HOLY MESSIAH is THE WORD of GOD. And one never “reads the Word of God”; rather, the Word is always to be heard. The scripture text of Romans 10:17 attest to this fact by saying that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”
ABOVE ALL, we must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from the prophet’s own interpretation (understanding). The prophecy came not by the will of man in the ancient times, but when holy men of God SPOKE, being compelled by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1:21)
Christianity tells us that the Bible is the WORD of GOD. But GOD does not say this.
The Bible may contain Scriptures that may record GOD’S WORD. However, GOD never refers to the Bible or any written book as HIS Living Life-giving Eternal WORD.
Before there was a Bible or even a scripture text written, The WORD of GOD existed. The WORD was and is without beginning or end. Amen.
