After Paul saw heaven and Light of God he said that words do not exist to describe what he saw. If words do not exist how do you write them down?
Paul's meaning in 2 Cor.12 was actually that he heard words "not lawful for a man to utter." That's a different situation that what you're thinking.
2 Cor 12:4
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
(KJV)

Because the bible teaches in several places knowlege of God comes from it --the bible is the word of Christ. according to John 1:1
It says no such thing. Its called circular reasoning, paleontologists use it. You can tell the age of the dinosaurs by the layer they are in, and how do to you know how old the layer is, by the dinosaur bones found in them. Why are people so foolish.

so you think God just zaps knowing him into some one .. you cannot show us that in the bible.. it simply not there

the fact is the only reason you may know christ is because some one knew the bible that was even able to make you wise for salvation in jesus Christ.. And they told you about it..

Because the bible teaches in several places knowlege of God comes from it --the bible is the word of Christ. according to John 1:1

and bible verses say---------------- the bible Gods word ------ gives us knowlege of who God realy is

2Timothy 3:15 /// Romans 10:17 //// 1Thessalonians 2:13-14 /// John17:17
Suffice to say, there are 2 definitions of the word "word in the greek. One is logos & the other is rhema. If you study those out, it will mean something new for you.

there is good reason God talks to every one by means of the bible.. so some cant hold you ransome--------------- to what they say God said.
There is a reason why Jesus gives us teh Holy Spirirt, it is sop we could learn from Him, but we would rather learn teh Bible, than there are those who say," the bible says, and it is the word of God", and they hold people ransom. God never gave you the BIBLE it is NOT the WORD OF GOD, Jesus is the WORD OF GOD, come in the flesh, JEsus gave you the Holy Spirirt to teach you the truth and untill you got to Him who is the truth and come in to the fulness of teh truth you are only reading fables and mens tales,

In all His Love
