CAN WORDS BE SEPERATE FROM THE SPEAKER?

Biblically yes. NOTE Isaiah 55:11

ISAIAH 55:11 - New King James Version

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Although the words still "belong" to YHWH Jehovah meaning they will still be attributed to him as their originator, the words themselve are sent away from Him. If the words were inseperable from God he would have to go with them. (Note the words eventually "return" to God which would be impossible if they were never seperated)

Do your words belong to you, JW?

Yes

I dont know what you mean. They start in my mouth or at the touch of my pen to paper. At that moment they cannot be found inside my body

No

I suppose you are refering to Jesus, and askng how they came to be in different locations. How did this happen? The bible says by God sending him to earth while by all accounts He himself (YHWH) remained in heaven. Thus they came to be seperated geographically.



God has always existed, so they (Jesus and the Father) would not have been together before "God who spoke His word into existence"

They are all gone. What is left 'that the world might believe'?

A book in which to squabble over...
