Jesus' Name is "The Word of God"
- Revelation 19:13 - read the whole chapter and see that Jesus is called the Word of God
- John 1:1 - the Word (Jesus) was with God and is God
- John 1:14 - the Word (Jesus) was made flesh and we beheld His glory as the only begotten of the Father
- 1 John 5:7 - the Father, the Word (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost are one (a.k.a. the Trinity)
- NOTE: If you don't use the King James Version, you may not have this verse. Many versions either completely remove this verse, combine it with the next verse, or say "these three agree in one". Beware.
- Proverbs 30:5 - every word of God (Jesus) is pure... Jesus is referred to as our unblemished lamb (purity)
- Luke 4:4 - Man shall live by every word of God (Jesus)... with out Jesus have have no life.
- See 2 Timothy 3:16
- Luke 8:19-21 - Jesus' brethren are those who hear the word of God (Jesus) and do what it says.
- Romans 10:17 - faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the world of God (Jesus)
To blaspheme means to speak reproachfully, rail at, revile, or to speak evil at or of.
- Proverbs 30:6 - adding to God's Word is blaspheming the Word of God (Jesus)
- See Revelation 22:18-19
- Mark 7:9-13 & Titus 2:1-5 - All these attributes are to be found in women of God so that the Word of God be not blasphemed. Today, we let tradition make the Word of God of no effect. When we go against the Word of God, how can we not say that we are adding unto His word? Our tradition of today is called "women's liberty". Women are allowed to take leadership roles in the church and the world when the Word of God forbids this.
- 1 Timothy 3:1-12 & Titus 1:5-16 - Bishops (pastors) are called to be "the husband of one wife" and have his "children in subjection with all gravity". God's qualifications are point blank!
- 1 Timothy 2:9-15 - Women are called to be in submission to their husbands and not usurping authority over men. But women have blasphemed the Word of God by not being in subjection but by usurping authority over men.
- 2 Corinthians 8:12, Acts 17:11, & 1 Chronicles 28:9 - We must have a willing and ready mind to submit ourselves to the Word of God.
Read Matthew 5:1-2
