Is this my idea? No.
The Word is God.
"In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
John 1:1
The Word became flesh.
"And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
word = scripture.
"If he called them gods,
unto whom the word of God came,
and the scripture cannot be broken;..."
John 10:35
I was saved in 1974. I am a born again Christian.
But shortly before I joined this forum I caught myself in a habitual sin which I committed over a period of many years.
A partial result of this sin was that my soul grew into having a deep despair.
I had little hope and often thought of suicide but then I knew I would meet God and then what excuse could I give?
I did not want to tell anyone for fear of humiliation.
All I knew to do was to keep going.
What gave me a little light in my pit was watching two videos on youtube by Derek Prince (professional philosopher and Greek scholar at Cambridge, and later Bible Teacher, now deceased) about the importance of the word of God.
I do not hold to Pentecostal doctrines.
Brother Prince more or less comes out with the idea of the above title at the end of the first video at about minute 40 and continues for about 13 minutes developing it.
I still think both videos are excellent and watched them again today.
