What is "The Word"?

In the Old Testament "Dabar" is translated as "Word" in phrases indicating the words of God are in view. Thus communication to carry out His purpose. Often the singular (word) is used to convey a statement containing several individual words.

In Genesis 1:3, where God says "Let their be light" we might jump to the conclusion He spoke words in the Hebrew language. But this was before that language existed. Certainly God commanded His creative power to create light out of nothing visible. So we might say "the Word" is what carries out God's purpose. And it certainly comes in the form of words understandable to His human audience, such as the Ten Commandments, in the form of creative power, and most importantly to me, in the from of God the Son.

The Word is a Person who is both someone else with God and yet is very God too. God the Creator. The true Light, by whom God is light. There is only the God who Is One.

Jesus was One person, not two. He was God incarnate, not God co-mingling with a human person.

He being always both with God and being God. John 1:1-3. The incarnation was a change as how He was with God, John 1:14. He never ceased being God. John 14:6, and 1 Timothy 2:5, the man Jesus Christ.

If this response is a veiled claim Jesus was two persons, it is a falsehood.

False. In John 1:1-3 and John 1:14 He is both with God and God being one Person.
The false claim Jesus is two persons should not be tolerated. God the Son is one Person, who was with God (the other two Persons) and was God (the Son).

Who besides you are bringing up the false teaching of Jesus being two persons?

Sadly, I can't see it, though the Word is Jesus Christ, which is God. The word of God is scripture.
Yes, the Word is GOD, GOD Himself, self-executing, understand? Great mystery. The Word -GOD- was made flesh. JESUS was born. And JESUS said: No MAN knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any MAN the Father(the Word), save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him. Aleluiaaa!! And the angel of the Lord, John the Baptist, said: John 1:18:-> No man hath seen GOD at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.

When I open my Bible I find myself face to face with my GOD, the Word. By the way, "GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days (last two Days or 2000 years) spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also GOD made the worlds;

3 Who being the brightness of His glory, and the EXPRESS IMAGE of the Person of GOD(as is expressed in the Bible), and upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

Dear Oseas,

I am referring to the capitalized Word of God, and lowercase word of God are not the same. Word of God is Jesus, and scripture, which is not Jesus is lower case.

Jesus is not the Bible, Jesus is not the scripture.

Jesus is not the Bible, Jesus is not the scripture.
JESUS said to the Devil: Matthew 4:4 p->Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the MOUTH of GOD. Where is written the Word that proceeded out of the MOUTH of GOD, as JESUS said for the Devil?

Furthermore, JESUS is the EXPRESS IMAGE of the Person of GOD: Where does the EXPRESS IMAGE of the Person of GOD is written?

The word of God was spoken by the LORD JESUS CHRIST who is JEHOVAH who spake to Moses and he wrote down in the scripture.

I think we are having a misunderstanding, I am not saying it wasn't written or such. I am saying Word of God is not same as word of God.

Yes, Jesus is the Word of God, but he is not the word of God.

The use of W vs w is important.

JESUS is not Jehovah, two thousands years ago the Word was made flesh, the Word is GOD from everlasting to everlasting, and jehovah is not the name of GOD, the Word, but JESUS, as JESUS said: O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee BEFORE the world was.
JESUS never was esoteric, neither kabbalistic, nor spiritist. The esoteric, and kabbalistic, and demonic jehovah has nothing to do with JESUS. Jehovah is the esoteric, and kabbalistic and spiritist NAME of the DEVIL, the Old Serpent and Satan. In fact, the DEMONIC NAME jehovah is one of the ten kabbalistic names of the Devil, understand? or nicknames.


Your thinking is from a human perspective, A STUMBLING BLOCK -Genesis 3:1, not from GOD's perspective-Matthew 16:22-23.

Revelation 13:3-4
3 And I saw one of his (7) heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the WORLD wondered after the Beast.
4 And they WORSHIPPED the dragon (THE OLD SERPENT, ALSO CALLED THE DEVIL AND SATAN-Revelation 12:9) which gave power unto the Beast(Revelation 13:2): and they worshipped the Beast, saying, Who is like unto the Beast? who is able to make war with him?
 
Dear Oseas3, it says here in the word of God, that the LORD said to Moses, that his name was JEHOVAH.

Yes, he also have other names like God, LORD, LORD GOD, the Lord Jesus Christ, Word of God.
