» _Boanerges_ - continuing II....

moving to the last book of the bible, we see [ the word ] again... this time in the image of a sword...

Revelation 2:16: Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

We know what that sword is because the word of God details this clearly...

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

» pink101 - Jesus As The Word of God

.
The idea that Jesus is seen as the Word of God can be deconstructed.
.
To deconstruct an idea, as I have mentioned before, does not have to be seen as a good or bad thing. So, I hope we don't have to argue the point over and over and again and again until the end of time. Just let it rest.
.
What does it mean to be the Word of God in the sense that Jesus IS that Word? Can we discuss it as a concept rather than being bound to the idea that it doesn't make any difference what it means and that what really counts here is that the Bible says it is so?
.
So, what DOES it mean to say that Jesus IS the Word of God?

» _Boanerges_ - the end of the high priest - the beginning of the prophets

Eli was the last of the high priests that God used to deliver His decree to the people. Then came Samuel, the first of the prophets, who would deliver the 'word of God' to Israel first, then to the gentiles......

Revelation 10:7
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

» _Boanerges_ - Early Views on Prophecy

In response to the end of the high priest - the beginning of the prophets posted by _Boanerges_:

Early Views on "Prophecy" - by J. R. Church
http://prophecyinthenews.com/articledeta...

snippet...

"Prophecy was a popular subject right from the opening days of early Christianity. Time and again, Jesus referred to the Old Testament prophets as He taught His disciples. In turn, they established and taught these prophecies to new congregations across the known world. There are 209 references to the term prophet, prophecy, prophecies, etc. in the New Testament; 106 of which are in the Gospels; and 46 are in Matthew alone! By the middle of the second century, prophecy was a well-respected part of Christian theology; and, as far as we know, no one treated the subject more thoroughly than Justin Martyr (A.D. 114-165)."

I was wondering about that 'Go Tigers' reply. Now I get the connection. (I'm slow sometimes.)
