Rhema vs Logos

 On Greek

This is a study of the Greek words for "word," Rhema and Logos. In the past century a curious teaching has risen up in the word faith movement. The teaching states that Rhema means what God is saying to you personally. This may supercede the scriptures. While logos is the written word and not a direct revelation from God to you directly.

We can see both words used interchangeably in scripture, which indicates that the word faith teaching is nothing more than a lie Satan has designed to get well meaning Christians off into confusion rather than God's word.
