Would you trade your Word of God (Bible) for the Original Word of God (which was not the Bible)?

Jesus was sowing the Original "Word of God" in the Parable of the Sower. Luke 8:11

And since the New Testament did not exist at that time, would you trade your Word of God and Paul’s teachings of sacrifice for sins for the Original Word of God that Jesus was actually sowing?

Was Christ's "Word of God" more powerful and more profound than reading a Bible?

Christ used the term "Word of God" in the parable of the sower to describe the seed that he was sowing out to everyone, and said his Word had the potential to produce a bountiful crop. (Gospel of Luke)

Now, keep in mind, he was giving his "Word of God" out before the Crucifixion, which means that it had nothing at all to do with blood for sin… but it did have the potential to produce a bountiful crop.

Do you think Christ’s "Word of God" was more profound and more powerful than the "word" that is read from a book (Bible) these days?

(This question and puzzle about "the Word" came from http://gospelenigma.com if you want to look into the complete context)

I want to start doing crossword puzzle but find most of the puzzles too difficult for me?

I find it discouraging to get only 2 correct answers out of the entire puzzle. Where can I find crossword puzzles for adult beginners.

Is this an unanswerable riddle? Try your best……..!?

A RIDDLE: WHO AM I?
[This riddle was written by a lady in California in response to an offer from a gentleman in Philadelphia, that he would pay anyone ,000 who could write a puzzle he could not solve. He failed to solve it and paid the money.]

——————————————————————————–

Adam, God made out of dust,
But thought it best to make me first,
So I was made before now,
To answer God’s most holy plan,
A living being I became,
And Adam gave to me my name,
I from his presence then withdrew,
And more of Adam I never knew.
I did my Maker’s law obey,
Nor never went from it astray,
Thousands of miles I go in fear,
But seldom on earth appear,
For purpose wise which God did see,
He put a living soul in me,
A soul from me God did claim,
And took from me the soul had fled,
I was the same as when first made,
And without hands or feet or soul,
I travel on from pole to pole,
I labor hard by day, by night,
To fallen man I give great light,
Thousands of people, young and old,
Will by my death great light behold,
No right or wrong can I conceive,
The Scripture I cannot believe
Although my name therein is found,
They are to me an empty sound,
No fear of death doth trouble me,
Real happiness I’ll never see,
To Heaven I shall never go, or to Hell below.
Now when these lines you slowly read
Go search your Bible with all speed,
For that my name is written there,
I do honestly to you declare,
"The answer is ONE word."

Why do believers think the Bible is the “Word of God?” (Jesus used the term long before the Bible came along)?

The New Testament did not even exist when Jesus used the term "Word of God" in the Parable of the Sower (Luke 8:11). So why in the world would believers think that something that did not exist would be included in what Jesus himself called the "Word of God?"

Was he sowing out Bibles?

Just exactly what was Jesus sowing out to all those people that would bring a "bountiful crop." It certainly was not the Bible… and it certainly was not himself if he was the one who was sowing that word.

Was it his message?… and if so, what particular message of his was called the "Word of God?"

This question (puzzle) comes from the Gospel Enigma e-book.

How many books are in the bible, and what are their names?

I am doing a puzzle and it involves the 30 names from the bible, but it doesn’t name what it’s looking for.
Can you help me please with that question, thank you.
Appreciated.

Like a really good riddle? For any one?

Please try to solve this simple little puzzeL The answer is one word found only four (4) times in the Bible* Search hard and you are surely to find much more than the word… And when you do find the word you will say "It’s too simple and everyone should know…"

A Gospel Enigma: John 1:1 says "the Word was God," so is the Bible your God?

It is common for ministers to say that the Bible is the Word of God, and John 1:1 says: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

So, the conclusion would be that the Bible is their God.

To make the puzzle even more interesting is the fact that Jesus himself was speaking about the Word of God in the Parable of the Sower, long before the New Testatment came along (and I doubt that he was sowing the Old Testament out to the people either)

I think the Word of God is something other than the Bible… something much more profound than 1500 pages of reading. So what do you think? Is the Bible the Word of God that Jesus was speakng about in the Parable of the Sower… and the Word which is found in John 1:1?

Or is the phrase "Word of God" just being used to elevate the status of people like Paul/Saul, who in fact was rather active in terrorizing the Original disciples (Acts 7:58-8:3).

Question from http://gospelenigma.com (Ch. 6)

Why does God seem to enjoy us when we seek his Word to find?

And this takes a certain amount of studying & effort.

Like Jesus spoke in parables so those who really wanted to understand would press in & ask Him for further explanation. So the bible seems to be a puzzle to put together & there are always more puzzle pieces to fit together.

1b. Why does it seem that God likes us to try to figure things out by asking Him questions in prayer, searching His word and being still & listening?
Bibigirl, The reason why there are a bible code, is because the old Hebrew just had constenants. So you could find many words because of that.
I believe there are bible codes in the bible, but not to the extent some like to teach.
Like if you read the lineage by the definition of the names, you have another prophecy of the promised of the Savior.
Mia, I asked God those too. I believe Jesus is YHVH (Jehovah) on that visit to Abraham.

Bible is out of order?

Does anyone else know that the Bible was written out of order and then put together like a puzzle???
My youth pastor told me this last week and I was like "WHAT?!"
Since then, I’ve been researching what order the books were originally written. I can’t find anything.
Was he kidding or is it true?
