If people couch their positions in ambiguous statements, then I prefer to clarify my answer to a position that is more clearly defined.

Then why not simply state you need clarity from the poster rather than you beating around the bush?.. Had you asked the the poster what they ment by 'the Word' it would have supported your effort to "clarify your response, but that does not seem to me what your intentions were...as mentioned prior in my post...rather distancing from the statement.

Look at the poster and the content of the post.

...In other words Jesus is the Gospel. ...Jesus is Gods promise. He is God both speaking his word and keeping his word. ......and so what I have stated surely is true and the scriptures clearly attest to that as stated here.

Negative. Jesus is NOT the Gospel. Jesus is the Word of God (Logos). The Gospels are the words of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (through however many translations) that attempt to write the Word of God into the word of God. We believe that the Gospels are the highest point of revelation to man, since God Himself Incarnated as a man and spent His time on earth teaching and Creating His Church.

Now maybe you don't do that but many do Mark...you seem at times to be on a different page then others who practice Catholicism...however your tag does attest to where your devotion lays.

Thank you; I will take this as a compliment. But never forget that I as a Christian stand on the shoulders of theological giants. My tagline comes from St. Augustine, a theological giant and defender of the Church. He not only believed it; he used it effectively to battle the heretics and apostates.

Christians look to God's Word ALONE for Truth - all others look to man for truth.
