'The word' or 'The Word'? The Word said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." Or do you misapply the 'Word of God' to the Scriptures rather than to Christ?

Outside of Christ, there is no Truth. There is plenty of truth outside the Scriptures: St. Seraphim of Sarov was transfigured in light during his conversation with Motovilov, even as Our Lord was on Mount Tabor; St. James the Just, Brother of the Lord, was martyred by being thrown from the Temple in Jerusalem; and the Virgin Mary, who had grown up in the Temple after being entrusted to the priest by her parents Joachim and Anna, was betrothed to the aged and pious widower Joseph, father of James, Jose and Salome, as a way of preserving her vow of perpetual virginity. All these things and many others are true, though there is no record of them in the Scriptures.
