"The word was a god"?

[Carl Emerson]

The following passage emphasises the unique relationship between the Father and the Son.

First off 'Father' and 'Son' are human terms that don't adequately capture the unique relationship between the two.

His way's are past finding out... including how the Godhead works.

John 14

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 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 works themselves.

How can a thing be with another thing AND be that other thing at the same time? For instance, a 2nd ice cube is with the 1st ice cube and is that 1st ice cube?

and now a word . carnal reasoning will never see that which is spiritual .
The question you NEED to ask yourself is
WHY THE HECK are folks contradiciting what is written already .
Nimrods at work . Never twist what was written in order to make something make sense .
IT never said A god . IT said the word was GOD .
So while its true that can be hard to understand , specially at the first , SIMPLY BELIEVE IT .
but never TWIST IT .

And i turned to see the voice that spoke to me and i saw one that was like unto the SON of GOD .
John fell on his face and the first words that ONE said was
FEAR NOT , I AM THE FIRST and THE LAST . that is a very famliar phrase AINT IT .
I AM the FIRST and THE LAST . hmmmm . Exactly .
And the word was God .
And MY GLORY i will give to no other . AND HE IS the GLORY of GOD . THE WORD OF GOD
and by HIM were all things created , CREATED . HE IS THE WORD OF GOD .
No other prophet in recorded history EVER spoke like that man .
Because he was not just a man . THE WORD BECAME FLESH .
Before abraham was I AM .

Three Persons in the one Godhead, that's how.

 

[Wrangler]

Three Persons in the one Godhead, that's how.

John 1:1 doesn't say anything like that, nothing about 3 or godhead, and your answer still makes absolutely no sense. One person cannot make up a 3 person godhead AND be part of it at the same time. Part ≠ Whole ≠ With whole.

Three Persons, all in the one Godhead; so, is the Father God? Yes. Is the Lord Jesus Christ God? Yes. Is the Holy Spirit God? Yes. The three divine Persons constitute the one God. The "Trinity" is just shorthand for this truth.

"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!"

 

[rebuilder 454]

Jehovah's Witnesses do no such thing, they simply tell the truth, that Jesus is the Son of God, that sits at the right hand of his Father.

Did they not teach you grammar in school on when and how to use capital letters or are you spelling that way to show disrespect?

No.
They butcher the Bible for their mental understanding.
ALL the cults do EXACTLY THAT.
You and others peddling that false mess are obsessed with destroying the testimony of Jesus.

 

[rebuilder 454]

Christ is the Son of God.

Watchtower is a cult.
Big time heretics.

 

[Peter1]

Though he was in the form of God,
Jesus did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped.

He emptied himself,
taking the form of a servant,
being born in the likeness of men.

And being found in human form,
he humbled himself and became obedient unto death,
even death on a cross.

Therefore God has highly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

He became the Son of man when he took on human form before that he was the Word

I removed Son of God

Jesus is eternally the Son of God. He did not become the Son of God. He did become the Son of Man (in addition to already being the Son of God).
