"Aren't all of the words within sacred to you?" Yes, but you do not understand the biblical concept of Word. Word in the Scriptures is a precept or an idea. It is not he mechanical thes, ands, buts and therefores. Sometimes it is necessary to communicate a precept through a lengthey anecdote. The Book of Job is an excellent example. The book has thousands of words but ONE CENTRAL PRECEPT and a multitude of minor precepts. God sometimes uses long bloody battles and stories of incredible cruelty to transmit one precept. Sometimes through a prarable. The parable of the Good Samaritan is an example. One central precept locked into many words. Sometimes precepts are communicated in a short phrase or paragraph. Proverbs and Psalms are good examples. God uses all three literary styles to communicate His pure and holy words or precepts. Languages and culture help us transmit our inner precepts and feelings. A good analogy is the transmission of valuable crystals from Calif. to NY. We may use wrapping paper and styrofoam to pack the crystals and Federal Express to transport them in their vehicles. From the Calf. to NY the wrapping may be damaged and the vehicles may even get into a minor accident, but the crystals are delivered in perfecte shape. Do not be too concerned with the wrinkles and dents in the wrapping paper and the transmission vehicles of language and culture, but rather be concerned with the integrity of the precepts being transmitted. When you unrap the Word or precepts of God contained in the imperfect wrapping paper and vechicle of Greek and Hebrew culture, you will find that the precepts are holy and perfect. We cannot fully understand the purity of the Word of God without the Holy Spirit of god enlightening our hearts. The examples I have given you can al least give you a glimpse of what we mean by the Holy and Pure Word of God.
