Hey bro ABinF. That was my point about Abraham, that, he received God's word without any Bible at all. It's been asked out here, "How could you know God without the Bible?" Well how did Abraham know God? And don't tell me I wouldn't know that without the Bible. Just because I wouldn't know about Abraham isn't the point. The point is I can too know God without the Bible, or knowing anything about Abraham.
So, you are right when you ask "ever heard of speaking?" You got my point.

Writing is the record of what God has spoken, the Bible is that record in one form or another--either in the words of God verbatim or through, for example, the Acts where there is a lot of history mixed in with God's word.

And thank God for the Bible. It's full of great stuff. If the Psalms is the word of Christ it's because God can speak without a book. So the Bible is not necessary to receive the word of God. The Bible can be dead letter ... that can "kill." Do you realize the Bible can kill? It kills when it replaces God's living word. That's why people beat each other up with it.
