I snuck in "the pure word of God" on purpose. But I didn't expect it to be an issue. Being raised in the Southern Baptist church, going since diapers every time the doors opened, some of it had to stick, and one of them was the trope "the pure word of God." If I had a dime every time I've heard it I'd be rich. Then, on top of all that, as bro zeek has proven, Lee liked to use it.
He used it for the same reason I did ; to give authority to my/his words.
Then, if it's the pure Word of God bro Drake can't argue with me ... and I win, if that's important ... haha.
Anyway, I'm not sure which way to go here. I could bring up how that term is used by cult leaders to make it sound like God is speaking thru them -- I personally think Lee did that -- or, I could carry on with bro Drake's Four Point Post.
I'll go with bro Drake. Given his four points, concerning the Bible, we can't get the pure word of God. Cuz what we've got is tainted, to say the least ... and if tainted is not, and could not possibly be, the pure word of God.
So seems to me, if we hunger and thirst for the pure word of God, then that's gonna have to be the Rhema word of God. That has the benefit of not having middlemen ; preachers ; leaders ; teachers ; scholars ; priests and the like ; and/or any other human authorities.
Amen to that. Can I get an amen? (that's another one I remember since birth).
