I suppose you are postioning a view that asserts if:
A=B
and
B=C
then A=C.
{Note: this is referred to in mathematical circles as the Transitive Law of Equality}
If I am misunderstanding the source of your bewilderment... please accept my apologies.
If I am NOT misunderstanding your bewilderment (obviously my word not yours), then I offer this (for about the 7th time here on AFF
)
The Word of God is NOT God.
The word of God is NOT a FULLY substitutionary equivalent of God.
God's word (like our own word) proceeds forth and comes from us (by our own will).
For A=B, B must be fully equivalent to A.
For B=C C must be fully equivalent to (able to be substituted for) B.
You can not make God's Word a substitutionary equivalent to God without making two God's; God himself and God's Word.
God did not become flesh.
God's word became flesh and dwelt among us.
