The second challenge to my MSTC brothers

Concerning the historical approach to Word [Christ] and Scripture let us briefly look at the following as drawn from Dr. Muller's Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics - Holy Scripture.

While the distinction between the essential Word of God, the written Word of God, and the spoken Word of God have been lost in the present fog of Post-Christian Christian theology, I would like for my second challenge to my MSTC brothers to offer a glimpse into pre-Enlightenment theology in order to demonstrate your reckless abandonment of historical terminology, thought, and theology.

Let me begin with Bullinger and more specifically his work entitled, Decades. In this volume he writes concerning the Word of God,

"For verbum Dei, the Word of God, signifies the virtue and power of God; it also indicates the Son of God, who is the second person of the most reverend Trinity; for the saying of the evangelist, "'the Word was made flesh,'" is clear to all. But in this treatise, the Word of God properly signifies the speech of God and the revelation of God's will; first of all uttered in a lively voice by the mouth of Christ, the prophets and the apostles; and after that registered in writings which are [Mine: Please note the absence of "were"] rightly called "'holy and divine Scriptures.'" (Bullinger I.i. and Muller p. 186)

Muller concludes after the preceding quote, "The certainty of the Word is intimately linked to its cause.[i.e. God]" (Muller p. 186)

Bullinger continues concerning the entire canon when he writes,

"so that now we have from the patriarchs, the prophets, and the apostles, the word of God as it was preached and written. These writings had their beginning in one and the same Spirit of God, and tend to one end, that is, to teach us men how to live well and in holiness." (Bullinger I.i and Muller p. 191) Please note again the wording, "we have" not "we had" or "we will have".

Muller paraphrasing Calvin writes, "The Word (Mine: Scripture) is the scepter by which Christ rules his kingdom." (Muller p. 193) The MSTC crowd is comfortable with ascribing error in some way, shape or form to the instrument of Christ's rule.

Ursinus in his Loci theologici Opera 1 writes concerning the intimate nature of Word and Scripture when he writes concerning the Bible in these words, Scripture is the "Word of God (Mine: Christ) inscribed in letters." (p. 434)

Burman in his Synopsis theologiae wrote, "the Word of God existed before all things: it was, with God, invisible" (I.iii.2) Muller goes on to comment that Burman concluded that "the Word was active in creation and was subsequently spoken audibly to Adam and Eve in paradise." (p. 193)

I offer these few quotes with the intention of putting forth my second challenge. I challenge my MSTC brothers to offer through verifiable quotation that your Greek and Hebrew texts are considered under such phraseology as “rightly called "'holy and divine Scriptures’” and “so that now we have from the patriarchs, the prophets, and the apostles, the word of God as it was preached and written.” If you cannot, then it is fair to conclude that you have strayed from orthodox theology. If the above is not enough then I offer Muller’s entire volume as evidence against your lack of orthodoxy.

1.) To those I have challenged, I will not discuss the veracity or truth of the above quotes until you have first dealt with my First Challenge.

2.) To those I have challenged, I will not discuss the veracity or truth of the above quotes until you have first offered verifiable quotation indicating that the position you hold remains within these historical norms.
