Because I said the Bible was not the word of God God is the Word Joh. 1.1 it is but a declaration of the Word and the word was God and the word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us This was not the Letter and the Letter saith the word is sharper then a two-edged sword he doth not say the Bible is sharper then a two-edged sword Heb. 4.12 And Jeremiah saith the word is as a hammer and a fire but he doth not say the Letter is a hammer and a fire but the Letter saith the Word is so so you blaspheme in saying the Bible is the Word and sets it up before God who is the Word and was before the Letter was Accusation 7.
