I don't see the point of this response. Could you try to say clearly
what claims I've made about the NT which you disagree with?

I said that Jesus Revelation was the Gospel, or Injeel, not the words on a page.

 

In another letter you referred to the Gospels (individual) being the reflection of the Gospel as in the sense of Jesus' Revelation.

 

I would have to agree that is true. The written words are a reflection of the Revelation in every instance where the words have been written.

 

The Qur'an is a reflection in text of the Revelation of Muhammed. The Iqan and Aqdas are reflections of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah.

 

The "BOOK" can only reflect the knowledge and certitude of the Speaker, because to Those Holy Souls the knowledge that They impart is what God intended Them to impart, not the totality of Their knowledge.

 

In some ways it reminds me of the old move line: "I may have taught you everything you know, but I didn't teach you everything I know."
