Or....the Word (truth and wisdom) of God being the rock or foundation of the Christ's lawful assembly or the Church (and purposed not merely for initiating a relationship but for maintaining such a relationship)?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? John 14:6-9 KJVSo God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:27 KJVWhich was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God. Luke 3:38
