What is the 'word of God'?

"The Bible."

Is that a correct answer? Yes. Is it a complete answer? No. Is it the best
answer? No.

Is that a correct answer? Yes.

B - Okay right from the get-go we have problems here. What is the word of
God? "some say it is the Bible"...or "I believe it is the Bible" but to
say "is that a correct answer? yes." Well I return to oft-said ad nauseum
question...can you prove that?

Hi Bren

You have to put the other bits (chopped out) with this one to make sense -
which was the point of the original post...

Briefly: the best answer is 'Jesus Christ - not the Bible as such - is
supremely the Word of God' (Hebrews 1:1-3)

Now, if Jesus Christ is God's Son in a unique sense, we just may have the
'author' wandering around telling us about his book! So a Christian believes
about the Scriptures what Jesus believed about them... But, he said, they
point to him, so they are the 'Word of God' in a secondary sense... Now does
that make any sense?

In the begining was the Word,
The Bible Is Jesus in Word, in Book form, and the spoken Word of God is
God, In God, by and about God. God spoke the World into exsistance by HIS
WORD.
The Bible is God, Holy Spirit, Jesus

Saying it does not make it so.

The pprevious posts did prove the bible was the word of God.Bren, can
you prove that the Bible is not the word of God? Why do you have a
hard time accepting this?

B - How did they prove? I can't prove it is..nor can I prove it is not. I
have no problem accepting possibilities..but I will not believe in
something just because someone "says so" unless that someone is God..why
do YOU have a hard time accepting that?
