God’s Word starts with these words, “In the beginning God…” Those words come from what is called the Old Testament, but the New Testament reiterates this truth: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.” As we read on in the first chapter of John (from which comes our New Testament truth) the Word spoken of is Jesus. In other words, Jesus is the Word, He is God, and He was at the very beginning. It is clear that God was at the beginning, His Word was at the beginning, and Jesus is the very embodiment of that Word.
The Word of God exudes from God the Father, and God the Son. In the very first chapter of God’s Word it says, “Then God said, … and it was so.” God speaks and what He speaks occurs, comes about, is Truth. The Truth He speaks is not subject to culture or man’s interpretation of the human condition. He spoke this Truth before man’s existence and His Truth is not open for a cultural debate, since man’s cultural debate is often silenced by some new discovery, and God’s Word has never been silenced by true discoveries. The Word of God revealed to us in The Holy Bible has proven to be true despite the persuasive words of intellectual elitist, who themselves will always be silenced by the Truth revealed. All of which clearly shows that God is the Author of the Word of God, and not man, and so various passages in the Bible cannot be called “clobber passages” of man, since man is not the author. In fact, since God is the Author, I would not want to be one who speaks that demeaning phrase against the work of God, nor be the one who sets about to change the words to fit “our cultural understanding”.
Great article on God the AUTHOR!
