John 1:1
In the beginning was "THE WORD " AND "THE WORD" WAS WITH GOD, AND "THE WORD" WAS GOD.
My question to you and Dewey would be:
WHY WOULD GOD [NEED] TO ELEVATE HIMSELF ABOVE HIMSELF ?
He is: The Most High!
whosoever shall call upon "the name" of the Lord shall be saved.
what soever you ask in "My name" I will do it.
there is power in "the name" of Jesus Christ.
GOD SAID : I AM GOD AND THERE IS NONE LIKE ME, I WILL DO MY PLEASURE, I WILL SPEAK IT AND I WILL DO IT.
JOB 40: 1-2
MOREOVER THE LORD ANSWERED JOB, AND SAID,
SHALL HE THAT CONTENDETH WITH THE ALMIGHTY INSTRUCT HIM ? HE THAT PROVETH GOD, LET HIM ANSWER IT.
40: 3-5
THEN JOB ANSWERED THE LORD AND SAID,
4: BEHOLD I AM VILE; WHAT SHALL I ANSWER THEE ? I WILL LAY MINE HAND UPON MY MOUTH.
5: ONCE HAVE I SPOKEN; BUT I WILL NOT ANSWER: YEA, TWICE; BUT I WILL PROCEED NO FURTHER.
JOB 42: 1-6
THEN JOB ANSWERED THE LORD, AND SAID, I KNOW THAT THOU CANST DO EVERY THING, AND THAT NO THOUGHT CAN BE WITHHOLDEN FROM THEE.
WHO IS HE THAT HIDETH COUNSEL WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE ?
THEREFORE HAVE I UTTERED THAT I UNDERSTOOD NOT; THINGS TOO WONDERFUL FOR ME, WHICH I KNEW NOT.
" HEAR, I BESEECH THEE, AND I WILL SPEAK; I WILL DEMAND OF THEE, AND DECLARE THOU UNTO ME.
5:[ I HAVE HEARD OF THEE "BY THE HEARING OF THE EAR": BUT [ NOW] MINE EYES SEETH THEE.]
6: WHEREFORE I ABHOR MYSELF, AND [ REPENT] IN DUST AND ASHES.
Faith comes by the hearing and the hearing by the "Word of God "
Jesus is the "WORD"
Jesus said : I and my Father are "One."
I personally shall not speak for God. I shall let God speak of Himself through " The Word " of God, which is God Himself ."
He Alone is WORTHY...
Blessings to you all
Love in Christ Jesus.
