What is the Holy Word
Would it make more sense to say that the Holy Word is a combination of language and expressions or a vernacular and expressions being that expressions and a vernacular are components of language? What is the Holy Word?

Probably for most the Holy Word would be that which was revealed by God...and then expressed through language...

"Holy Word" almost as interesting a concept as "Western Civilization".

Re: What is the Holy Word
I would suggest an etymological paperchase:

word ... verbum ... logos ... memra ...

I would say the Holy Word is the Immanent Presence of God in the soul, it is shekinah, Holy Spirit, barakah, aum ...

God bless
