of course there are many as i speak who insist that the true WORD OF GOD only exists in the BIBLE. this is false. the QURAN says if all the WORDS of GOD were ink that the 7 oceans cannot contain it. since the WORD OF GOD pervades all of the creation it is simply too big to be contained in any book known to us or to be contained even if we were to combine all books which exist or have existed in the past and then it was printed down in them. it has been sent down from heaven in many many forms and it has been a sign and witness down through time, that first of all there is only one GOD and he is alone. if we believe the BIBLE at all the OLD testament has GOD saying in the first person, i am the LORD GOD and there is none beside me. i would say here that to define GOD and then differentiate GOD from all other things is really basic. there are really only 2 categories here we are speaking about. 1) all things which can be traced to an origin. 2) all things which cannot since they have no origin.....there is only one who cannot be traced and this IS GOD. and i am talking about the creator and not the created. that having been said then we even put the word of GOD in the same category of things which show a definite origin. the WORD OF GOD issues directly from the mouth OF GOD. since it originates from him it cannot be said to exist before it was spoken. it issues from the ETERNAL FATHER and i am aware this term ETERNAL FATHER is not actually true. we must say that even eternity is traceable to an origin, the creator. for there is nothing eternal outside the creator of eternity. we call GOD the eternal FATHER simply because from our vantage point it is completely beyond human ability to comprehend. an infinite thing is simply not infinite at all. example the very globe we dwell on appears to be infinite but when we travel some distance away from it we then see that it is a definite 3 dimensional object. but from the vantage point of one who lives on the planet never ever knowing what we do now, either it is totally flat and sailors beware! if you sail out into the unknown far enough you may sail off the earth forever! or it simply goes on forever, hence from our perspective it appears to be eternal. so those who attempt to narrow THE FULLNESS OF GODS WORD IN ANY ONE BOOK do not know GOD. nor are they aware of the greatness of his spoken word which pervades all of the known universes both in the macrocosm and the microcosm. it is naivety to assume that the BIBLE alone contains the word of GOD. there are lots of things the BIBLE does not say. and there are those who refuse to accept advanced scientific concepts simply because the BIBLE doesn't mention anything about it. as i have said and will repeat GOD sends his word down to address everyday issues of the particular group to whom it is sent. this is why HOLY BOOKS other then the BIBLE have words which are not repeated in the BIBLE. example people who live in an area where there is excessive snow fall need shovels while those who live in subtropical zones need not have a shovel nor do they need to know how to drive on it. this doesn't mean that it is invalid to know about snow fall and what to do with it nor is is the same for those who happen to live in areas which are warm and have no snow fall................
