The becoming of Holy Scripture

“The Bible is God’s Word to the extent that God causes it to be his Word, to the extent that he speaks through it.”

—Karl Barth, Church Dogmatics I/1, p. 109.

    Ahh yes, since "God is the Lord of the wording of His Word" (KB, CD I/1, p. 139).

    The word of god is in you.
    To listen, just breath.
    In stillness you will hear.
    that voice inside you.
    listen to your breath.
    listen to the voice.

    Thanks for your point of view, Darksat. In contrast, I would prefer to say: The word of God is outside us -- and for just this reason it is really the word of God!
