I am, by no means, a Greek scholarm but I am pretty confident that "the word of the Lord" means the Gospel message; especially aince there are other instances in the Bible where Christ is referred to as 'the Word'.

When one does a study of what Y'shua preached;
one will discover,
He did not preach anything else other than the Tanach.

He condemned the traditions of man and always pointed to the Holy Word of G-d

b'shem Y'shua

That is true partially, but Jesus certainly expounded on their meanings as taught by the then religious authorities.

For example: Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not commit murder, and whosoever shall commit murder shall be guilty of the judgment; but I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother out of control shall be in danger of the judgment (Mat 5:21-22).

And of course, when Jesus talks about suffering in the face of persecution and turning the other cheek, I don't find that in the OT. Perhaps you might help me there, I don't find it.

He condemned the traditions of man and always pointed to the Holy Word of G-d

No He didn't. We have previously discussed this. Jesus only condemns traditions that move men AWAY from God. Thus, Jesus tells His Apostles to OBEY THOSE WHO SIT IN THE CHAIR OF MOSES...Where is that in Scriptures??? In addition, Jesus, at the end of Matthew's Gospel, says NOTHING about the written Word of God (nor do the other Gospels) when He commissions His Apostles to teach and preach ALL that He had taught them. Nothing about securing a printing press and distributing pamplets of the "Gospel" for private interpretation...

Regards
