BRIAN A VOICE ON THE RADIO, PART 2
While driving home from work one evening, Brian stumbled onto a Christian radio program. As he listened to the voice, it told a story he had never heard. His hand stayed over the button on his dashboard. “You know there was another man who sacrificed everything for yo…[Read more]carmel replied to the topic John 1:1 in the forum Scriptural Teachings 3 years, 5 months ago
Hi Proclaimer, and ALL.
You: Jesus Christ is even called The Word of God.
Me: Now this is the vital question that seems well clear throughout this topic, and, humbly speaking except through my posts, no one ever seriously addressed, thus:
Why, and what is the origin that Jesus is not only even called The Word of God, but since God is eternal,…[Read more]

‘Logos’ can be translated as ‘word’, ‘speech’, or ‘reason’. In Greek philosophy, logos was used to refer to the principle of reason and order that governs the universe, and was considered to be the divine force that created and organized the cosmos.
In John 1:1 we read about the divine Word of God, which was made flesh in the person of Jesus…[Read more]

To everyone,
Do we know the origins of the word “logos”? It was coined by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus around 600-500BC. He invented the word to “explain the divine reason or plan which coordinates a changing universe.” “Logos” isn’t an everyday word used to say “word” in the Greek, “lexi” is. Yet for the last 20 years people here have been…[Read more]

It’s funny because you believe the son of Mary is Jesus because that is his name, but you ignore him as The Word of God. You seem to only accept the things of the flesh.

Wrong, I certainly do know people and things are called by their “ATRIBUTES” A airplane is call a bird, because it flies like a bird, but is it an actual bird? Of course not, there in lies the problem, being call something because of a similar a tribute does not make you that thing, I fully understand that, and that applies to Jesus being ca…

Hi Jodie
You
Hi Berean,
You said, “AND HE IS THE WORD OF GOD WHEN HE RETURNS AND IN BETWEEN”
Me
THE SON OF GOD IS CALLED THE WORD IN THE BEGINNING AND FOREVER.
IT’S A NAME THAT MEANS
THE CREATIVE POWER OF CHRIST AND HIS POWER THAT SUPPORTS HIS CREATION.🙏

Proclaimer……..to create is one thing, to be getting is quite another.
TO BEGET, requires a birth process.
TO CREATE, does not require a birth process.
Adam and Eve were not begotten, but we’re created the First begotten human being was Cain, Jesus was the begotten, from the loins of his Physical Father King David, when God plan…[Read more]

We are also “MADE”, a “little” lower then the angels, and we also suffer death. And we must also put our “wills” to death, just like he did.…[Read more]

Hi Berean,
You said, “AND HE IS THE WORD OF GOD WHEN HE RETURNS AND IN BETWEEN”
The Son of Man returns in the glory of our Father, he returns where he has God’s Spirit upon him whereby he makes righteous judgments, judgments not by his own eyes and ears but through God directing all his ways.
This Son of Man returns to give true believers…[Read more]

The little boy sat in the pew, his feet dangling off the floor. His tousled little head could barely see the priest on the platform in front of him. He stared curiously and shifted toward his mother. He wanted to know so many things about what the priest was doing and saying, and the questions tumbled…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,
You: God’s seed represents God’s Spirit.
Me: GOD’S SEED IS A SPIRIT! and THAT SPIRIT IS
“THE WORD” made Flesh, Jesus, the Son of Man.
God is a spirit, and all His attributes and tasks generally speaking are all
spirits!
Once God committed Himself to create, He created all that for us is the entire physical creation BY/IN/FOR in His…[Read more]

I’m betting the rebuttal to my post will be just to interpret each scripture I have quoted as meaning the opposite to what is written. It won’t be that blatant, but surrounded by lots of text where the detail is easily hidden.

Adam was called the Son of God.
But Adam was created by God.
Jesus was begotten by God, emptied himself, came in the flesh, died, rose again, and is seated next to God in the glory he had with him before the cosmos.
He is also the final Adam. So he too can rightly be called the Son of God in that sense. But because he is the firstborn of all…[Read more]

You reject the trinity doctrine; yet, hold onto the “preexistence” of Christ, why?
They are not mutually exclusive. This comes from Greek thinking where anything can either be creator or creation. But scripture teaches us that there is this thing called ‘begotten’ which is neither.
In fact, one of the reasons why the Trinity Doctrine is bel…[Read more]

I am not rejecting the aforementioned scriptures, I’m questioning our understanding of them. Do we understand them in the context and perspective of which they have been written or are we understanding them with our modernistic minds of what other people have told us these scriptures mean?
Sure and I already know that. But I believe some are r…[Read more]

If YHVH is God of gods and Lord of lords, and there is one God and one Lord and they happen to be two persons, then the YHVH who is God, is one person WITH the YHVH who is Lord, another person.
Your trying to fix a problem that doesn’t exist in scripture. Therefore, your theory is just as wrong because it proposes to be the fix.

Agreed that wisdom is an attribute of God just as light, truth, and love are too.
However, I think that God creates life and endows them with attributes or different measures and mixes of it, which makes us unique. We know that truth is of God, but Jesus said that he was The Truth. We know that life comes from God, but Jesus said he was The Life.…[Read more]
