That would depend on whose words we're talking about...
Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart
Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word
Maybe I'm misunderstanding Master's meaning here but you have to wonder at a statement such as "...and then you can throw your Bible in the garbage can and there’s no sin in that". Especially considering he has (presumably)a large audience which no doubt contains many who don't 'get it' like he thinks he does.
Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
I don't care who you are,you will not win any real battles if you throw your ONLY weapon in the bin!
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart”
You do not understand what is meant...it is the spirit really...there are not good translations in our bible. Clearly here and many other places, as in Genesis, it is not the word, literal word...it is the spirit. Obviously that is meant, as when the creation is happening they are not there with an open book looking at words. This is many Christians problem, they look at words rather than the holy spirit that is the SOURCE of expression of those words.
