THE WORD OF GOD — SCRIPTURE / REVEALED MESSAGE
Scripture uses 'word of God' for God's revealed message. The Scriptures are God-breathed and profitable, and apostolic teaching was communicated in words taught by the Holy Ghost. Inspiration, canon recognition, transmission, and translation are related historical questions but should not be collapsed into one process.
