It is very Protestant to think ‘word of God’ means the Bible. No. It doesn’t. God speaks and what God says goes out into space and space keeps and persists it in the heavens, among angels who hear it. That is presumably how the laws of Nature came into existence.

When God said “let there be light” there was no Bible at that time, nor was it spoken in English or Hebrew, or Welsh. Yet it changed everything and the word forever rings around the heavens and lies on the hearts of the angels. And not because of the Bible.
