If the Word isn’t the Word until a human being hears it … well, how about this verse?<br /><br />"Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired;<br />My ears You have opened;<br />Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.<br />Then I said, 'Behold, I come;<br />In the scroll of the book it is written of me.<br />I delight to do Your will, O my God;<br />Your Law is within my heart.' "<br /><br />See also Hebrews 10:7 for the proper exegesis of the referent.<br /><br />If obedience is part of the Word becoming the Word, the primary obedience is that of the Son. Everyone else’s is merely a shadow of that obedience. The Word was always God’s Word because the Obedient One had it hidden in His heart from the start: “I do always those things that please the Father.” <br /><br />God is self-existent, because He needs no “other” to confirm by his/her hearing and obedience either His Person or His Word. He is all He needs to be, in Himself … Father, Son and Holy Spirit.Immanuel Cannoreply@blogger.com
