The one problem that so many people seem to be forgetting is that the Bible is not the Word of God. Christ is the Word of God. He has stated that Himself. Even the Bible states that God's Word will never pass away. And nor will Christ. Christ will always remain....even when the Heavens and the Earth pass away.
But the Bible never states anything about the Bible being God's Word. Thats because the Bible is just a collection of different teachings over time. But many of those teachings are false and or have been twisted or altered to fit religion. Christ however perfectly and clearly stated that HE is the Word of God. And the Bible also states that. It says that God's Word is the Truth, the Way, and the Light. But what the Bible doesn't mention on the other hand is itself, which is because it is not what is really important.
So we have the facts. The Bible, among many other texts outside the Bible, such as the Gospel of Thomas and other gnostic texts, all state that Jesus was the Way, the Truth, and The Light. And the same is said about God's Word. So therefore, it would be impossible to conclude anything other than that Jesus IS God's Word, and that Jesus is the Way, The Truth, and the Light.
God gave the Word.
Christ IS that Word.
Christ gave the Law.
The Law is "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, all thy heart and thy body; and thy Neighbor as Thyself. Do this and thou shalt have Eternal Life".
The Law is the Truth.
The Truth is the Way.
The Way is The Light.
And the Light is the Life.
ETERNAL LIFE.
