***John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Church, and the Church was with God, and the Church was God.”
See, here is our problem. We, the Reformed, believe that the Word of God is the Bible, while you believe that the Bible is just a bunch of stuff written by a bunch of men.***
Inspired men, but just men.
Tell, me if you would. Do you believe that the Word mentioned in the Bible is equivalent to God? Or do you believe that the words in the Bible are words of men who tried to write down their thoughts and impressions and memories of their experiences that they had related to God, or readings that they read or orations that they heard?
In other words, do you believe that the Bible is equivalent to God?
The earth and all it holds proceded out from God, and it is not God. Neither is the Bible, but the Bible holds the wisdom of God, and all who ignore it do so at their own peril. Yes, the men were inspired, by the Holy Spirit, who, as we know, is God. These men did not write, as you put it, “Thoughts and impressions and memories” but instead wrote what the Holy Spirit wanted us to know about God the Father and his Son.
