‘The word’ proclaimed uses the definite article; it is specific to Jesus being the Messiah in Acts 18:5. It is not a question of what I or anyone else believes.
If there are all these different ‘The word’ proclaimed verses, then it becomes confusing. That is why I am asking a fact based question. Are there any other verses that proclaim ‘the word’ means anything other than Jesus is the Messiah?
Paul's proclaiming (preaching, testifying, devoted to) the word (the truth, the gospel, the exact expression and illumination of God who is Jesus, the good news, the solution to the world's penalty of death, our salvation ), was what his mission was everywhere he traveled and all that he wrote _ until he died.
Paul testified to the Jews that Jesus was their Messiah, by using Old Testament scriptures and varifying thatJesus fulfilled hundreds. The Gentiles needed more than that. They weren't familiar with the scriptures containg the Law and the Prophets, nor were these Hebrew scriptures important to them prior to this time; so obviously a different approach was used. He preached Christ crucified, about His miracles performed, His teachings and resurrection and ascension witnessed by over 500 people.
Jesus is the WORD.
In the begginning was the WORD and the WORD was with GOD and tue WORD was GOD... the WORD became flesh and dwelt among us.
Capisce?
