Oracle:
a diminutive of logos, "a word, narrative, statement," denotes "a Divine response or utterance, an oracle;" it is used of
(a) the contents of the Mosaic Law, Act 7:38;
(b) all the written utterances of God through OT writers, Rom 3:2;
(c) the substance of Christian doctrine, Hbr 5:12;
(d) the utterance of God through Christian teachers, 1Pe 4:11.
Notes: Divine "oracles" were given by means of the breastplate of the High Priest, in connection with the service of the tabernacle, and the Sept. uses the associated word logeion in Exd 28:15, to described the breastplate.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
