Does every word That JESUS CHRIST spoke matter?

Originally posted by eagles54Yes, that I can agree with. My view of the Trinity is that Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit are all of one mind - the one mind of God. And they are the three persons of God, with different manifestations and purposes.
I didn't think I was being ambiguous but perhaps I am.
Jesus is the human manifestation of God, am I right? Wouldn't that make them One?

Aren't the words of Jesus equivalent to the words of God?
I'm trying to learn here, I'm not trying to stir it up unnecessarily.

then what is THE BIBLE
The Bible is a collection of stories put together by numerous authors and committees over many years. You also need to define "Bible". There is no one Bible. There are many depending on what Christian or Jewish sect you belong to. [This is a slight problem for those claiming that it is the divine word of God - one would expect that God would have divinely inspired all Sects to believe in the one Bible).
