And wadr, no, the Word is not in the Book. The Word is talked about in the Book, It is discussed at some length in the Book, both OT and NT, so as to make it perfectly clear, that It is not the Book, and is not in the Book, anywhere, and by definition, of "Word," cannot be in a Book, and so that is where we are still at.
The Bible is not the Word, and the Word is not in the Bible. period. full stop.

The word is God's PLANS and PURPOSE -- His heart is manifested to us through that word. He put that in the book we call the bible.
When someone wants to the word I open the bible and show them what it says abut God speaking to men and saying certain things. Those things he said to them are written down. And the thoughts he wants us to think about and know are related to us in those pages. When the message gets in our hearts, we have found the word.
