If you think that you can follow 'the words in red' and ignore the rest of scripture you are in error.

Man shall live by EVERY WORD that proceeds out of the mouth of God. It doesn't say 'by every red-lettered word and the rest is superfluous'.

For those that believe Jesus is God, wouldn't that be Jesus?

Joh 17:16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
Joh 17:18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
Joh 17:19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

Jesus IS the Word.

From Genesis to the maps.

Er... well, the end of Revelation, anyway.

Well.....that should be enough then. When you have Jesus, you have the word.

Ephesians 2:19-21
New International Version (NIV)

19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.

In your opinion, was Jesus not speaking of salvation when He said....

Joh 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Joh 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Joh 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
Joh 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

Actually, he was. And even more amazingly, he was speaking in large measure of what would later be called 'The Lord's Supper'.

Too bad the catholics completely missed his point though, as do most pentecostals, today.

Ah, even more than mere bread and wine... 'the cup which we bless, is it not the COMMUNION of the blood of Christ? the bread which we bless, is it not the COMMUNION of the body of Christ? for we, being many, ARE ONE BREAD...'
