Genesis 1:26 is a vague passage as there is no context to teach us who us is for certain. Why God chose to hide why he used the word “us” is a mystery. We can speculate but in doing so we are to be careful not to support heresy.

Terrarica,

My knowledge is limited.

Terrarica,

It seems I have to be able to put the clues together in order to understand what the words you wrote mean. The biggest clue is the way you put Jesus in brackets after the pronoun he.

Any pronoun you see in Scripture is an decision made by the translator based of their expert opinion.

What in that passage from John 1 lends you…[Read more]

t8 and terrarica,

John 1:10 testifies that the world does not know the word that comes our of God’s mouth.

Terrarica,

A human is one person with the ability to deceive themselves. A human thinks on different levels, some of which he or she is not aware of.

T8,

How do you separate Jesus the human being from the word that comes out of the mouth of God since they are united and have been since the word of God has been given the character of humanity.

When he speaking of being he is talking about the word part of the unity and not the human part.

When John teaches ” In him was life, and the life was…[Read more]

Gene,

I am convinced that Jesus is a human being conceived in the womb of a woman just like all of humanity with less than a handful of exceptions at this time. (Matthew 1:20)
Like with other human beings Jesus was a human until the day he died. (Acts 2:22)

He is currently a human being in heaven.(1 Timothy 2:5)

I am convinced because…[Read more]

Yes, that is one definition of logos but there are others. I also agree that God has a plan. The word is can be personalized as the chiefest angel as all God’s angel obey it and can be said to worship it. God used it to create all that is created. In it is life. It is not God’s plan but rather that which fulfills it just as it…[Read more]

WorshippingJesus,

I have heard the description of Wisdom in the book of Proverbs which is much as John describes the Word and yet I do not consider her a person but consider her the concept of the ability to make sound decisions. Many agree with me though not all.

If you are taught to hear John from a certain point of view then that point seems…[Read more]

Scripture teaches us that God is Love and it is understood it means God has the characteristic of Love.

In the same way Jesus also has the characteristic of God’ Word.

John stated that in the beginning was word of God and God’s Word has the characteristic of God. Genesis teaches us all things were made by the word of God and nothing…[Read more]

Matthew 12:18Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

I agree that when God put his Spirit upon Jesus Christ the Word that comes out of God’s mouth took on the…[Read more]

Ed.

I happen to know it is not literally written that Jesus is either an angel or a being created of Spirit. Those that believe it are convinced it is both or either inferred or/and implied by certain passages of Scripture.

From what I know there was not teaching that the Christ was either and angel or a spirit-being though the words of Hebrews…[Read more]

t8,

It is my thought you understand when Scripture states God is Love that you understand it to mean God has the attributes of Love. In the same way Jesus has the attributes of the word and has had since God gave him the Holy Spirit. Paul in his letter to the Colossians attribute the actions of the Word to Jesus because the were united when he…[Read more]

Ed,

Hi Kerwin,

How can you say this and then not conclude Jesus is God?

please explain ???

It is absurd to believe Jesus is God because God cannot be tempted by evil and Jesus was tempted even as we are. Both are in Scripture and Scripture is not broken and Trinitarian song and dance is so much nonsense that the more honest ones claim their…[Read more]

t8,

We know that God created all things through his Word. But it is also written that he made all things through his son.

Jesus Christ is the word that comes out of God’s mouth which has been given the characteristic of humanity. The word existed before Jesus was made of a woman made under the Law as can be seen by the words of Genesis 1.…[Read more]

the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

The dark sayings of John and Genesis can be puzzled out by knowing the truth and the truth is that Scripture literally teaches us that Jesus is a human being conceived of woman as…[Read more]

Terrarica,

All I saw in you post was a false accusation and there was no reason to respond to it.

My response was to the Scripture you and the verse you highlighted with your words.

I also hoped to make the point that Scripture is hard to understand.

Gene,

Kerwin……You still did not answer tbe question brother, are you saved by the flesh and blood sacrifice of Jesus the Christ or not, does God bse yoyr aquitle on JESUS ALONE OR NOT?

peace and love to you and yours. …………gene

Do you want a part truth or the whole truth?

Those Christians who walk by the flesh will not inherit the kingdom…[Read more]

Terrarica,

I did not tear your words up but only quoted what applied.

Genesis 1:27 is a vague verse as we do not know all the context of it. We do know from other passages that the angels were present when humanity was created.

The first time that Scripture confirms the Christ is mentioned in Scripture is Genesis 3:15 and that is foretelling…[Read more]

Terrarica,

So me saying that Proverbs 1:6 is a good verse applies to all of Scripture” reveals to you that I am righteous in my own eyes.

Are you sure of that?
