Mike………Again look up the word Through, it can just as easily be rendered FOR as Through. Mike brother what you are not considering is that those scriptures were translated by people who were already indoctrinated into the concept of Jesus being a GOD and preexisting before His berth here on earth, they were of the Greek and Gnostic…[Read more]

Mike………..God was PRESENT through the (CHRISTOS) or anointing on Jesus. Jesus spoke words being revealed to Him the same as the prophets did.That scripture is even less supportive of the doctrine of preexistence then you earlier ones were. Don't you believe that GOD was (IN) Him as he plainly said He was. So sure GOD'S Presents was there “HE…[Read more]

GeneBalthrop replied to the topic John 1 1-3 in the forum Bible Texts & Translations 16 years ago
Kerwin……….I agree with martian right on brother. John is the most distorted scripture in the bible. Col 1:16, is another the word (By) is written In in about 20 places there and only Once written (BY). So they assume it means Jesus created everything or God Didi it (by) Jesus. Pure assumption on there parts. True understanding of scriptures…[Read more]

To All……I mean if we can even agree on what a WORD REALLY IS, man we are screwed up!> Again A WORD is Simply an (INTELLIGENT UTTERANCE) By someone. THIS IS BASIC IT SHOULD BE A NO BRAINIER. A word proceeds from a mind it begins as a thought and then uttered and it is who the person really is “SO A MAN THINKS SO HE IS”. GOD and (His) words are…[Read more]

Mike……….One problem you haven't started from the start of the text , but jumped in mid way and yes by doing that it does appear as if He is talking about Jesus, But you see that is the old trick to force text to meet a persons perceptions.

JK………..”Dude”……If you understood the “WORD” was GOD and GOD was (IN) Jesus instead of (BEING) Jesus it would be clear for you, “GOD (IN) ALL and (THROUGH) ALL”, GET IT “DUDE”.

WJ………..So you fill free to just change the words written in John 1:1 from the Word “WORD” to Jesus right even though the Apostle John Wrote “WORD” There. But you claim to not have changed the “WORDS” to fit your Trinitarian and Preexistence views, isn't that somewhat of a Joke?

Martian………….notice how what you quoted from Tyndale goes along with what Jesus said about the Word, “the words i am telling you ARE Spirit and Life, and he said those words were not his words. All things were indeed made by (IT) The Word of GOD. Not Jesus the Man, but the Words GOD Spoke is what created everything because the power of…[Read more]
