Exactly.  That IS the problem with scripture for some with accepting it on face value instead of using “critical thinking”.  (Why do the most critical people push that concept???) iz   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Terry Clifton Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 6:20 AM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The TEXT will never be uniformily apprehended!!!   The big problem with the Bible is that it does not always say what you want it to say, therefore it is not totally reliable.  If you start trying to go strictly according to the book, then you have no latitude to see Jesus as you would like Him to be.

I believe the written Word as scripture is just one form of THE WORD of God. It cannot be brushed aside as less than that IMO. izzy   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of David Miller Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 8:27 AM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The TEXT will never be uniformily apprehended!!!   Izzy wrote: > Jesus IS the Word.  Neither is "secondary" > to the other; they are one and the same.   Jesus is the Word but Jesus is not the TEXT.  Scripture is a subset of the Word.  The script can be considered secondary to the Logos himself because the world is not big enough to contain all the texts that could be written about Him.  None of this is meant to undermine the authority of Scripture.   Peace be with you.
