In reply to:
[color:"blue"]But the same can be said about the written Word. It does not capture the complete person of Christ either, but that “imperfection” (used in all reverence) does not abrogate its propriety.

Jason,

The Bible does NOT say, "In the beginning was the picture, and the picture was with God, and the picture was God, but it does say, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Christ is perfect and He gave us the His Word which is perfect, we just do not understand it perfectly. An imperfect picture cannot bring forth a true worship of God, which God's Word can and does in His elect. One is inspired and ministered by the Holy Spirit the other is condemned, by the same. See the other posts.

How in the world do you use “imperfection” (used in all reverence) and apply it to Scripture?
