People must understand that the word of God is different from the inspiration of God.
I can speak to you directly of my word or even of someone else word, and I can also be your inspiration to writing a book. But when I become your inspiration to writing a book, that doesn’t mean everything in that book you are writing is all my word.
It doesn’t means I spoke everything you are writing in the book to you. And even though I spoke them to you, it also doesn’t mean that everything that I might have told you were all my words.
I can tell you my word and as well tell you other people’s word also. But the reason I might tell you all is so that you can document them down so that people can learn from the mistakes of the people and as well learn from their success.
I might not even know you are writing a book. And might not even know you as well. But you could have just heard my story or what is said or what I said that someone said and be inspired by my life or my story or by what I spoke about others, to write the book. But that doesn’t means the words in the book are all mine word.
You might at some point quote me and you might at some other pages write about yourself and about others.
The inspiration that concerns me in the book could be about the reason you are writing the book. Or the encouragement from me. Or the zeal to write the book. But it doesn’t mean that everything you said in the book were all words that I spoke to you directly my self or words that I spoke to another person directly. It might be about what you heard others said about me that are not true of me like job said of God that was documented down in the bible for our learning by the writer of the book of job. Who said God killeth And maketh alive. But at the end in the same book it was also discovers that those were not the character of God and job repented.
This is what people need to understand as the reason we often do say technically the bible is not the word of God even though the author being inspired by God to write it.
That an author of a book was inspired by someone to write the book, does truly justify that the words in the book are all the word of the one that inspired the writer.
So that the writer of the bible was inspired by God doesn’t truly makes every word in the bible the word of God we should understand this.
We must learn to understand the difference between being inspired to write and as well being told what to write about.
The truth is there is a difference between the two.
The reason God inspire the writers of the bible to write everything documented down in the bible is so that we can learn from it; from the different characters that took a journey of faith with God, as well every other characters that those people encounter with didn’t know our God who also was featured in the course of their life journey.
They were all documented down so that we can learn from them all. From both the good ones and the bad ones.
For some writings, it is so that we should never repeat the mistake of others, their life style, their word and their choice in life and to some it is so that we can learn from others who align with God; their life style, their word, the choices they made in life and etc. In the midst of all this documentation are the direct word of God spoken to the heart of men also written down for our learning. And also in this same writing too, are also words of men that are not the word of God, And that does not justify the character of God but written down for our learning. Or so that we will understand how not to relate with God.
Now it will be wrong to say everything in the bible is the word of God.
When you say everything in the bible is the word of God, is like saying the word of king Pharaoh of egypt that was documented down in the bible are the word from God and as well the word of God.
Or that the word of nebukadnaza were the word of God. Or that the word job spoke of God were the word of God and the nature of God.
When you can’t separate the word of God from the word of men in the bible, you will be teaching a different thing to the people that doesn’t not justify the intent of the bible.
When you can not different between a direct word of someone from a written word of some who is just being inspired by someone, then that means their can never be a true understanding of this writeup.
Until you are able to truly define what you mean by the bible is the word of God, we may never be able to know what we are really saying ourselves.
It is on this note that men go about using the bible to manipulate the people thereby making the bible say what it never said.
But when you understand that everything in the bible is not the word of God but that the bible contains the word of God, then and only can you truly see the need to evenly divide the word of truth to reveal the word of God in the bible.
Even though knowing that everything in the bible was written about God, but that does not mean everything in the bible is the word of God.
Do we know that the word of God is a person
When I first write that the bible is not the word of God that was a long time a go and i didn’t share it in my social media page but only on my website.
In the write up I said the bible is puzzle that the bible is not the word of God but that the bible contains the word of God and many wanted to tear me apart.
If you can not explain the reason you are saying that the bible is the word of God you may as well just forget about the topic and don’t bring embarrassment to yourself
The truth is this topic of discussion is only for the deep learned not for the shallow learned.
Take for instance if I say that ojo went to school and wrote an exam and score 7 As in his exams, is that the word of ojo, or mine, but is what i said about ojo?
i guess yess.
The truth is the bible is a book written about God and his son jesus.
As we all know, jesus is the word of God written in the bible from genesis to revelation. It why jesus will say that they should “……..search the scriptures for their are they that testify of me”_John 5:39
The truth is that in all the books they all wrote about jesus;the word of God. But not every word written in all of those book are totally the word of God which is jesus. It why jesus will say that they should search the scriptures to see those things that was written about him.
And the way to know those things written about him is to study the life of jesus and use it as a guide in your studying of the bible to reveal the word of God in it because Jesus is the word God.
So every word that does not concise with the nature and the person of Christ Jesus in the bible is not the word of God.
I hope this helps
But you can as well say no And still keep to calling me names. As for me I am just trying to help many see the truth from the right perspective.
