I wouldn't see it that way, since I acknowledge the presence of 'God's Word' entirely within myself rather than within a scripture.
There is no singular form to the 'Word of God', as often insited on by many, in form of the Bible and the Bible only.
I was trying to throw you a ball.
It's a metaphor based on the distinction between
Law and Gospel or the discription of
Sola Fide and
Legalism on the other side.
It is part of the Lutheran manifest,
The Book of Concord.
Here is another one of my personal acknowledgements:
Religion is a very private subject and if not so, it is rather to be shared than to be argued about.
