In the beginning of every mans salvation is the word of God, you cant know Him at all without Him giving you His word. His word is not written on stone nor a page of paper, it is written in the heart by God Himself be in you. Jesus didnt receive His word until he was about 30 years old when God came to Him by His SPirit and opened up who He really is in him. Matt 3:16, but I dont expect you will believe Matt 3:16, most dont.
He gave Moses His word the same way, He gave 120 in an upper room His word the same way, and He will give you His word the same way if you will only obey Him and receieve from Him instead of guessing what others has said from a book.
Jesus was very clear how God gives His word, he said ion that day ye shall ask me noting but go to the Father for yourself and He will give it you. You just dont obey to receieve from Him to have that day is all. you are to busy dictating to God your word about Him. And you cant even see what you are doing because from lack in receiving His word in you to be identified with Him in it.. But when, or if you ever do receive from God His word and see Him as He really i by His word be in you, ye shall be like Him. 1 John 3.
The word was God and is with God and man is the temple of His word. he resides no other place for He is Spirit His word is SPirit and man is the recipient of where our identity is with Him by His word be your own disposition just as He is. You never have met Him to become His living word, that is very obvious in your religious beliefs where you dictste to your god what he is, who he is and what he can and cannot do.
