Quote (Oxy @ Aug. 09 2006,08:06)I think you missed my point.  When I said they were teaching the Word of God, they were teacihing Jesus I meant that Jesus IS the Word of God that they were teaching.  Scripture points out very clearly that Jesus is the Word of God made flesh.  Nowhere in Scripture is it written that the Word of God became a bo…[Read more]

Quote (Oxy @ Aug. 09 2006,06:48)Yeah, they were teaching the Word of God.  They were teaching Jesus.  Try reading the Scriptures from this point of view. When you see the Word of God, think of it being Jesus, not the Bible and it will have a whole new meaning.  It will lift up and bring glory to Jesus instead of the book.  Remember that the boo…[Read more]

Quote (Oxy @ Aug. 09 2006,04:34)epistemaniac, thanks for your reply, but if you take the Scripture you quoted with the understanding that the Bible calles Jesus the Word of God you will see that it reads quite differently.Hi Oxy,If Jesus is the entire word of God as you propose, how is it that he himself is subject to the word and will of God?…[Read more]

Quote (epistemaniac @ Aug. 09 2006,01:46)Jesus plainly calls the OT the “word of God”:(Mat 15:5-6 NASB)  “But you say, 'Whoever shall say to his father or mother, “Anything of mine you might have been helped by has been given to God,” {6} he is not to honor his father or his mother.' And thus you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your…[Read more]

Quote (Oxy @ Aug. 08 2006,01:17)Hi, thanks for your replies.I too was told at Bible College many years ago that the Rhema was the spoken word and Logos the written word ie Bible.  My studies since have shown me that whenever Jesus is referred to as the Word of God it is always Logos John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, Rev 19:13  And He had been c…[Read more]

Hi Oxy,I can see that you are explaining yourself so that I should understand you better, but am not quite following you– it's alluding me. Others may hopefully pick up on the point you're making and so respond more effectively.

Hi Oxy:2 Peter 1:21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but *holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.  2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for…[Read more]

Hi Mercy,I believe that those who love God are predestined to dwell with him, and when it is all said and done, they will not be moved or regretful of that decision:  e.g. Psalms 15 & 24.
