Doc,
Might I add the truth and power of Heb. 4:12-
"For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (NASB)
"For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart." (AMPLIFIED)
Speaking the Truth in Love,

Dear Brad,
I do not know all of the nuances of Webster's thinking, but he also wrote, "If there is anything in my thoughts or style to commend, the credit is due to my parents for instilling in me an early love of the Scriptures." Given his assertions of the authority of Scripture, and the prodigious amount that he committed to memory in his life, and the repeated emphasis he placed on its importance, it seems to me unlikely that Webster (per post #219079) was suggesting that other literature could supplant the Word itself. Instead, note his emphasis of the crucial necessity of the dissemination of the Word to "every hamlet."
In Him, Doc |
