Hi, David. Yes, Jesus is the divine Logos--- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God....and the Word became flesh [my heart sings!] and dwelt among us..." And I know that He will one day sit in judgment... But what was in my mind when I posted were the words of Christ in John 12, where He said: "Whoever rejects Me and does not accept my words has something to judge him: the WORD that I spoke, it will condemn him on the last day."
However, you raise an interesting point about "the Word of God" (Christ's title) being equated with the collection of holy scripture. What follows are the verses which contain that phrase:

Do any of these phrases refer to the collection of writings that make up Scripture? Interesting. Yours truly, Hopefulpilgrim
