Full Court, the person using the word here is not God, it's the translator.
"If you do not believe that the Bible is the Word of God then we have no common ground to discuss issue from."

Full Court, the Bible was written in a different language. In particular, the New Testament was written in a form of Greek. Sometimes when you translate a word into another language, you don't have the exact word in the other language and you have to approximate. In my reading of the Holy Sciptures, that appears to be the case here. Otherwise, the Apostle James appears to have been the brother and the father of the Apostle Jude, which would indeed be a miraculous occurance, and Mary has a sister named Mary.

"I have studied the history of the Catholic church and her actions, so I know that there is no chance at all that she is a correct body of authority."

It sounds like you are quite convinced, and I have no illusions that I'll be changing your mind. However, just reading through your posts, it seems to be your strong conviction that Catholics and the Catholic Church are evil. Am I understanding you correctly? If so, would you mind sharing a few of the reasons that caused you to feel this way?

"The Word of God however is. Yet you reject it."

Full Court, I hold the Word of God in the highest regard.

No, you are not correct.

But anyone who rejects the Word of God for man made tradition has a serious problem.
