Yeah, it's pretty blasphemous.I chose it in this instance it because it's preferred by Catholics. As opposed to a "Protestant Bible".
I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. Genesis 3:15 Douay-Rheims
Wow.
both say scripture, neither says "the word of God"Really? Because one says scripture is God-breathed, and another says scripture is the result of God speaking.
Nope. That is not the case.Actually, the phrase is used to refer to both. In this case, it's talking about scripture.

The subterfuge on you part was editing my post to alter the context.You said it. Now you want to pretend that you didn't?
Myself and the learned @The Liturgist concluded it could be said the two are interchangeable.
I cut away the unnecessary verbiage.The subterfuge on you part was editing my post to alter the context.
All graphe is inspired, this is a significant theological proposition that is not exactly transferable to all logos. Protestants often confuse matters because they do not properly distinguish between what is said (or revealed) and what is written. Writing is a later step in the process of making what is revealed part of a record that can be passed across the generations without the need to invoke memory (anamnesis), it has both good and not so good implications, as was evident in the way that the Pharisees used graphe together with their teachings to evacuate the graphe of its true intended meaning. In this thread some among the Protestants have evacuated the scriptures of their meaning by treating "The Word" as "graphe" and thus opening the door to the heresy that this thread is combating, namely elevating the scriptures to the status of God.Well, then @Xeno.of.athens presented an argument concerning revelation vs. the written word and that makes me much more on the fence, since it seems when referring to Scriptures the Bible uses the Greek word graphe for those cases.
Now you're being impolite again.I cut away the unnecessary verbiage.
Well, that was a side issue. The main issue I believe we agreed upon is that calling scripture "the word of God" is not heresy, contrary to what the OP purports.Well, then @Xeno.of.athens presented an argument concerning revelation vs. the written word and that makes me much more on the fence, since it seems when referring to Scriptures the Bible uses the Greek word graphe for those cases.
it is not the case that every word in any given post written by you is relevant to the thread.Now you're being impolite again.
Said or revealed by whom?All graphe is inspired, this is a significant theological proposition that is not exactly transferable to all logos. Protestants often confuse matters because they do not properly distinguish between what is said (or revealed) and what is written.
Ironically what you've described applies more to certain aspects of Catholic dogma.Writing is a later step in the process of making what is revealed part of a record that can be passed across the generations without the need to invoke memory (anamnesis), it has both good and not so good implications, as was evident in the way that the Pharisees used graphe together with their teachings to evacuate the graphe of its true intended meaning.
No, what they've said in the graph is from God and therefore of God.In this thread some among the Protestants have evacuated the scriptures of their meaning by treating "The Word" as "graphe" and thus opening the door to the heresy that this thread is combating, namely elevating the scriptures to the status of God.
"show me these 38 times when "the word of God" undeniably means "scripture" in the NT"it is not the case that every word in any given post written by you is relevant to the thread.
Yes, and one on scripture too.I see you've started a new thread on this subject: "the word of God" in sacred scripture
Prophecy is not didactics and is subject to more than one interpretation.Take a second look
Revelation 19:11-13 LSB Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sits on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. (12) His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; having a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself, (13) and being clothed with a garment dipped in blood, His name is also called The Word of God.
But English is words, and his name is "The Word of God", right?Prophecy is not didactics and is subject to more than one interpretation.
Revelation is prophecy not spoken clearly but in riddles/dark sayings (Nu 12:6-8), subject to more than one interpretation, right?But English is words, and his name is "The Word of God", right?
It astounds me what lengths you go to just so you do not have to admit that your earlier claims was wrong.Revelation is prophecy not spoken clearly but in riddles/dark sayings (Nu 12:6-8), subject to more than one interpretation, right?
I don't take my doctrine from prophetic riddles, I take it from apostolic didactics., where Jesus is the Word who is God (Jn 1:1) rather than the Word of God, which is Scripture (2 Tim 3:16, 2 Pe 1:20-21, Heb 4:2).
