Qx:Still recovering from the . . . shocking . . . sentence above

Please don't be shocked, Q. God never wrote a single jot or tittle. Not for Noah, not for Job, not for Abraham, not for Jacob, nor for Moses, not for the Apostles...not for the pure in heart.

He prefers to reveal to those He finds acceptable in words and not in writing. The Old and New Covenants started and grew from oral teachings, which God revealed to the saints as unwritten tradition, some of which was later, much later, reduced to writing for you and me.

WRONG . . . in one case . . .

THE FINGER OF GOD DID WRITE the first tablets for Moses.

And, there are a number of cases in Scripture where He told His guy TO WRITE His words down.

I don't find the point particularly significant. It's still clear in Scripture that God places a very high value on His WRITTEN WORD.

Christ dealing with Satan persistently said:

IT IS WRITTEN:
