Maybe you dont understand what the world alive means, words can not be alive, a book can not be alive, words do not move, do not touch and do not breathe. God is not talking, rather you are reading words from a book.
I understand very well. I know God spiritually. I know what the world alive means. That world came from the Word of God who made it to live. He created this world through His Breathe when He spoke. And, YES His Word DOES move when it drives directly at anythin' to make it alive. It TOUCHES and BREATHE to keep everythin' runnin'.
For example here :
Jesus COMMANDED the 7 demons to leave a woman's body. The 7 demons obeyed Him and left her body.
I know what you are trying to say, youre tyring to get the point across that the bible is so important to you and the words in the bible motivate you to the point that you express the book and its words as being 'alive.'
However to me, its no more alive than say, websters dictionary or the newspaper. I get what youre saying though, that it is in existence or operation, meaning it is in a sense 'alive' even though it is inanimate.
