Guess the only thing that fits that I can think of is the letters and writings of the Apostles.

If that were so blatantly obvious you would be able to cite Scripture to make it explicit instead of playing with fonts and sarcasm.

If "Word of God" were synonymous with Scriptures, Christ would be a book.

As have asserted . . . Holy Spirit leads into all Truth.

Including related to The Scriptures.

I thought it was better known, even amongst the RC folks, that God sometimes hides things in plain sight.

I didn’t think the Berean thing was hidden at all. But, for some, it may be hidden in plain sight.

Perhaps you could spell out for us what YOU think they were searching???

But please, avoid suggesting that they were searching:

—Mary’s tea leaves.
—The varying glows and colors of Mary’s halo.
—Which way she folded her hanky that day.
—How much fuzz was left on her velveteen elbows.
—Whether her hair was up or down that day.
—Whether her angelic manicures had been done yet that week.
—Whether her chosen pillow for the night was satin or flannel covered; down or feece stuffed.
—Whether she genuflected or not passing an Eastern window.
—Whether she DICTATED her memoirs in cursive or BLOCK CAPITALS.
—Whether she wore blue or purple on Thursdays or Sundays.
—Whether John gave her an extra helping of fish or mutton on Fridays.
—How much her current wedding ring was close to being worn away by all the kissing of the faithful.

Some of us consider that the Bereans were a LOT more clever than to be bothered about the above.

If "Word of God" were synonymous with Scriptures, Christ would be a book.

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Don't be too hasty in your criticism...The word of God is a Spiritual book...It is unlike any other in the world...

You'll notice that when you crack open that book, that book is looking back at you...And judging you...
