scriptural term which deflects Christians from the truth that there can only be one
'version' of Scripture (or 'bible') per language (Gen 11:7, Rev 22:18-19). There can
not be multiple and conflicting 'versions' all, together, constituting The Scripture as
the Word is one Word, not many (John 1:1, 10:35, 1 Cor 14:8, Rev 22:18-19). The
Scripture is singular not plural (John 10:35) and no two 'versions' can both be
correct (1 Cor 14:8, Rev 22:18-19).
The Word exists in every language as a spiritual book (John 1:1, 4, 9, 2 Cor 3:3,
Heb 4:12, Rev 14:6, 19:11-16, 22:18-19). He is God, not ink, print or paper (2 Cor
3:3). This is a spiritual mystery. Even a perfect material rendition of the Word,
written in ink on physical paper and being a perfect ‘Bible’, would not be God and
ought not to be worshipped as it is a physical creation made by the Creator and
with human involvement as to its physical production (Deut 4:15-16, Rom 1:23,
25, 2 Cor 3:3). The physical book is not God but the spiritual book is (John 1:1,
1:14, Rev 19:11-16, 22:18-19). The word ‘Epistle’ (found in non-copyrighted,
earlier KJVs) in the title to 2 Corinthians is part of the Word (2 Cor 3:2). The
titles to the 'books' (sub-books) of the Word, as they appear in the King James text,
are part of the book of the Word. The title of the book is 'The Scripture', not The
Holy Bible (John 1:1, 14, 10:35, Rev 19:13). The Word of God is also the name of
a Person, the Person being both God and Christ (John 1:1, 14, Rev 19:13, 16). We
worship the Word, as we should, by obeying it (James 1:22). We too, by Christ
within, are in that sense even now the Word made to dwell in flesh (Rom 8:11, 1
Cor 3:16, 2 Cor 3:2, Col 2:9-10, 2 Tim 1:14, 1 John 4:12-16). Clearly our flesh
sins (1 John 1:8) unlike that of the pre-risen or risen Christ (2 Cor 5:21) and we are
not God (Rev 22:9).
There are therefore no possible internal ‘contradictions’ or ‘discrepancies’ due to
this integrated singularity and holistic structure (John 10:35). The bones of Jesus
were not broken (John 19:36) even though he died, and was ‘broken’ in body in
that sense only (1 Cor 11:24), and was thus fulfilling the stipulation that the
Scripture could not be broken (John 10:35).
The Word is also God who is the Holy Ghost (Mark 3:29), and the Holy Ghost
preaches itself in proportion to the readiness to accept it (Mark 4:24-25, 33-34,
Luke 24:32, 45, 1 Cor 3:2, Heb 5:11-14). Someone can therefore receive the Word
from the written Word or from the Holy Ghost, non-written, spirit form (John
14:16-17, 26, 16:13), both The Word and the Holy Ghost being the same God
(John 1:1). The Word is not anything or everything that the Holy Ghost says but
only that which is included in the closed canon of scripture (Rev 22:18-19). God is
not anything and everything that God says but God’s Word, as represented in the
