Well, Christ is also referred to as the Word ( translation the Word of God ) and since Christ has been around along side of God since God has existed and the New Testament is entirely based on the teachings ( words ) of Jesus I would say that the Bible is the Word of God.
If you are not a believer all the secular knowledge you can muster about Christianity and the Bible will not help you to rationalize your definition of what a Christian is. Takes one to know one, as they say
“Well, Christ is also referred to” and so forth and so on....
I was responding to rface who wrote “Christ did NOT say the Bible was the word of God.”
Of course He did. But the new testament was written after His death, correct?
Anywho, God made us sentient beings (or we helped ourselves to that gift in the garden) so we could read and understand.
But He didn’t cite chapter and verse, as He could with the old books, because they were still in the heads of his disciples.
By that I mean he didn’t say, “Well, in Book so and so, subchapter viii. I urged any without sin to cast the first stone.” Because He was busy doing all these things.
Okey dokey?
Nice sermon though . . .
