Hi Mike. As has been shown, 'He was the word chosen by translators when it could just as easily have been translated as 'this or it'. John 1.1 shows the word to be the Logos which is 'word, speech, divine utterance' in Greek. So this fact should be taken into consideration when understanding John 1:1.Even so, if you understand 'He.' to mean the…[Read more]

Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me.Quote On the other hand, to add the word “IN” into Paul's…[Read more]

Mike I'll need to finish the rest of your post later.

Hi Mike.Quote Hmmm…………John 5:26For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself.John 6:27Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life.”57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live b…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Dec. 21 2012,05:58)2beesee,John is most likely speaking about the actual Word of God; though he personalizes it as you hypothesize.  The Word is the things of God and God “embodies” those things and reveals them through the Spirit.The Word is God as he “embodies” it.  The Word is with God since his Spirit that is with him reveals i…[Read more]

T, the CREATOR OF THE WORLD (think about it………………………..) spoke through Jesus Christ. If my focus is more on the word of Jesus, then so be it.

Quote (terraricca @ Dec. 21 2012,02:22)are we saved by debating ,or having knowledge beyond what his written in scriptures??? or by our own views and interpretation of the scriptures or is it BY BELIEVING IN THE SCRIPTURES AS THE WORDS OF GOD TO US John 6:63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing.

Hebrews 9:14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Dec. 21 2012,14:57)So YES, we CAN add the “a” when the context dictates we should.  But NO, we CANNOT just go around adding the word “IN” where it does not belong – just so the scripture suits our doctrine.And the context of John 1:1 either says that our one Almighty God was WITH HIMSELF, or it says he was with a DIFFERENT…[Read more]

He does not write without care in this respect, nor is he unfamiliar with the niceties of the Greek tongue. In some cases he…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Dec. 21 2012,14:21)2B,Your statement above is what is called “an inflammatory statement”.  There is no reason or rule to it, and it is said just to create thoughts and emotions that are NOT based on solid facts.You have already acknowledged, along with ALL Greek scholars, that we in English can either ADD the definite article…[Read more]

T, we will be judged for every word that we say against another believer in God and his son. Careful.

1Peter 1:22-25.

And as I was reading in scripture the other day…'Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently: having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

This makes more sense to me…'Jesus (Yahshua) and His apostles labored mightily.  They spoke the Word, the Logos, which is the eternal purpose and plan of God.  And they wrote His vision for this earth down for us to be able to study and prepare ourselves for the end times.Now we, the sons and daughters of the latter rain must follow our e…[Read more]

Let me hear you say it Mike…. In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God…!! Amen?

Quote (terraricca @ Dec. 20 2012,13:10)BY TELLING PEOPLE THAT YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN PAUL AND BE TRUTHFULLI did not say that I do not believe in Paul, T, I said that, due to the fact that people twist his words, including translators (i have seen it) then I prefer to concentrate on what I do know rather than to risk being a 'twister'.I quote quite…[Read more]
