Think about it. How much of God’s Word, as it is revealed in the Scriptures, can be outright rejected by one who is a Christian? How much of God’s Word can be altered or changed by a Christian? How much of God’s Word can be ignored by a Christian? How much of God’s Word can be interpreted by a Christian apart from the interpretation provided by the Holy Spirit?
This question becomes even more important when one takes John 1:1 into account.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Then, if John 1:1-5 is considered the question looms even larger.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
If the Word is God, that is, if the Word is Jesus, in whom alone life and salvation are found, by whose name alone salvation and everlasting life are received, how much of the Word is necessary?

Is this a trick question?!? :)
It does force one to think - if it is at all possible to alter the Word.
nice!

Trick questions?
I suppose many will think so.
I consider them to be a series of rhetorical questions. I do hope that they promote further thought on the matter.
