And if we do that, we can't say that the Bible is the Word of God because a) the Bible is not Jesus (though sometimes protestants get that confused and worship the Bible by mistake) and b) the Bible never claims this for itself.

If I give my word, I'm enabling an especially close relationship, promising that associated words of mine were or will be true, or something like that, and God gave us Jesus.

When I see the "word of God" in the Bible, I think of him and not scriptures. I see the scriptures as a seperate category, some thing that emenates from God, but is not God. Something that is God breathed, but not with god in the begining. It is the story he tells us, but not something on par with him. Do you all see a difference between the word of god and scripture?

That message can be delivered in many different forms or translation styles, but as long as the meaning of the text is delivered then the word of God is being communicated. Jesus (#4) was one way that the message was delivered, as were the autographs (#2) and the Bible as we have it today (#1). For me, it’s #3.
