Misha may be referring to an idea most popularly expressed by Fr Romanides in which it is pointed out that though Scripture is the word of God and the revelation of God, it is secondary to and "about" the Word(Logos) and Revelation of God, the Godman Jesus Christ. Scripture is, in this thought, an icon of THE Icon of God, Christ.

I don\'t agree with this idea. First of all, WE TOO are icons of God since we were created in His image. But we don\'t go around interpreting Scripture haphazardly. That\'s Protestantism. \"First of all you must understand this, that no prophesy of scripture is a matter of one\'s own interpretation, because no prophesy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.\" II Peter 1: 20-21

Be the first person to like this.
