This deserved it's own post….
Amen brothers and sisters.
The Word of God is INDEED God.
The only person who disagrees is Nick.
He says The Word of God is OF God…how foolish.
In the beginning was the word, the word was with god, and the word WAS god? lol
anyways here's my magic verse.
——————
1 kings 19:
9And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
10And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
11And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
12And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
14And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
15And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
ALL capital LORD is exclusive to YHWH alone in the bible.
Jesus usually was Lord, but i understand it's not the same in all bibles. In the KJV however, we hold that as the authority.
If the WORD of GOD was attributed LORD. He is God.
If Jesus is The Word of God manifested as flesh, can we not say Jesus is God in the flesh?
was his name not to be called immanuel meaning “God with us (humanity)”?
These verse show this is not an Angel.
These verse also are from the OT…
so you cannot attribute them to Jesus, for he was not incarnate YET!!!!!
So aparently The Word of The Lord (only person you possibly can be talking about here is YHVH himself or pre-incarnate Jesus as part of the Godhead) is YHVH.
This OT scripture agrees with the new testament,
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
So if the OT and NT agree that the word of God is God…
I have two questions,
one for Nick…
How the heck do you believe it's OF god when it's explicitely shown in both the OT and NT that The Word is GOD himself.
and second question, how do any of you anti-trinitarians reconcile Jesus, NOT being God when we know he's THE WORD manifested as flesh?
Not saying i'm for trinitarianism either, but you better start believing Jesus is God is his death means nothing.
