It truly is.<br /><br />Of course, what do you mean by "Word of God"? Martin Luther had quite an ability to engage and critique Scripture in a manner that would make many modern Christians nervous. Would we be willing to call James an epistle of straw, or comment that Revelation is not very revealing, in the way that Luther did? No, I don't think we would today, because I think we've overly conflated the printed/written Word of God with the Living Word of God. Luther, who commented that the Bible is the manger in which the Christ Child laid, kept the two - written word, living word - more separate than we do today.Chris Duckworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569502792071232013noreply@blogger.com
