I was more referring to the gospel of John:
In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He existed in the beginning with God.
3 God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him.
4 The Word gave life to everything that was created,
and his life brought light to everyone.
5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it.
I believe God IS without Beginning of Ending.
From Genesis forward we begin learning ABOUT God.
Gen 1 gives us an Introduction About God.
Gen 2 gives us more specific ABOUT a KIND of thing God called a MAN.
God~ we learn, IS Light, IS the SOURCE, that "generates LIGHT", (or IF you will,) CAUSES, other things, created Things, to flourish, when the CREATED "Things" receive Light from God.
We also learn:
God, has 'parts', IN His own 'make-up', and so does,"everything", God has "CREATED AND MADE".
"Parts" of God, come forth out from God, but does not EMPTY God of those Parts.
Same for mankind.
"Parts" of God, are called distinguishing NAMES, and TITLES, to reveal which part of God is doing What.
Same for mankind.
God IS Invisible to natural mankind's EYES.
Gods Voice IS NOT audible to natural mankind's EARS.
YET...God has Established "A Way", to communicate...with His CREATED Mankind of thing; that a Mankind of thing CAN Hear, See, and Oberve the Effects of His Power, (LIGHT/SPIRIT)
Same for man.
Gods, "parts"...
WILL...His desire/ideas/plan/thoughts
POWER...His Spirit/Holiness/ Absolution
WORD...His Truth/Communication/
WORD----Lord
WILL------God
POWER----Almighty
Mankind...the same.
WILL- desire, want, need, ideas, plans, thoughts;
(* in the MINDS/logic,
(*in the souls/feelings,emotions,senses,
(* in the natural spirits natural Truth in the Heart.
POWER- muscle, status authority power, mechanical generation of Light.
Be observed Working, Can observe Accomplished works.
WORD - keep hidden in the mind, soul, spirit; reveal by audible speech, hand signals, facial or body gestures, write.
Can reveal, word, "Unseen" coming forth, behind a curtain, door, yelling across a valley, telegraph, phone, tv, radio, computer, etc.
Can ELECT to not reveal his thoughts.
Mankind...iS LIKE God in many ways...
Has NO control over his being existing.
Has a Name.
Can Name or TITLE "parts" of himself, (or those parts be Named, by another)
Can send forth "parts" of himself, while keeping those parts "in" himself.
Can "spit" out, remove "parts" forever.
Throughout the Theme, of Learing ABOUT God, we learn, WHAT "parts" of God; does WHAT, WHEN, HOW, WHY, and WHAT those "PARTS" are Called at a particular Given/Revealed Time...and TO WHOM it WAS/IS revealed.
The Highlight IS simple:
Gods WILL, WORD, POWER...is "ALWAYS"...
IN HARMONY /Agreement for Right & Good..
Holy.
Mankind's WILL, WORD, POWER...is always IN Conflict...(logic, feelings, spirit) constant disagreement within the man, and also comes forth out from a man, and conflict Between men).
God gives mankind...
1) A WAY...To: resolve the Conflict: within the man...Become in Harmony, within himself... AND ...Have the Same Harmony..."AS and WITH God".
2) ^ THAT ^....resolves an individual's Harmonious outcome, between the individual mankind of Thing AND God...
But it does NOT make the HARMONY BETWEEN man and man become Harmonious.
3) Between man and man, God has revealed PRECEPTS...IOW...HOW TO: handle Discourse, Between man and man for the most favorable Outcome.
(Man may or may not learn, know, always consider Gods PRECEPTS between men.)
John 1: references the Beginning...IMO, the Beginning IS what IS revealed TO mankind, at ANY given Point in Times...Knowledge Or the Understanding of the Knowledge IS Revealed.
Men have a Beginning...but NOT All at the SAME point in time...
What is a Beginning for one man, is Not the Same for All men...nor IS their Knowledge or Understanding of the Knowledge.
Gen 1 gives us a Beginning of Knowledge of His Creation.
John 1 gives us a Beginning of Knowledge and Understanding of His Word...
(*) IS Eternal without A Beginning.
(*) IS God
(*) Always WITH and IN God
(*) IS being SENT TO Earth
(*) IS in a Fashion (Look/Image), mankind can recognize The familiar known Image (of a mankind of thing) See and Hear this Thing.
(*) Will be Rejected BY Many men...Because this Thing IS so commonly recognized (and Because this thing/man; is initially, so common, without Obvious Power, Status, Authority, Wealth...and later found to BE, able to Be Whipped down, Nailed to a cross, Killed, AT the Hands of Earthly Men.
Our Example;
Revealed as a common, nobody, from no place special, adult poor, homeless, wandering man, speaking great things, doing great miracles, calling out Temple Clerics...captured the Hearts, and souls, and minds OF Some, by their FREEWILL, (then)...
AND THEN and NOW, Many BY their FREEWILL, Reject Him.
^ That IS mankind's Division...that The Word of God came TO Accomplish, and DID So, and the Division continues...with the Beginning of every individual's natural birth...from those individuals Who freely Choose...to be "Made" Whole, body, soul, spirit " Perfected IN the Lord God and IN HARMONY, with the Lord God Almighty.
Luke 12:
[
51] Suppose ye that
I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather
division:
Matt 12:
[30] He that is
not with me is against me;
Gods LIGHT Is His POWER, SPIRIT, HIS Glory.
* God GIVES "HIS Glory", TO NO ONE.
* HIS Glory can ONLY be received BY something "other than Himself"...
BY "REFLECTION".
The Sun and the Moon are early parallels of LIGHT and REFLECTION.
The Moon has NO LIGHT, in it or of it. It is complete Darkness., yet called the lesser light.
The MOON only "has" the appearance of Light... WHEN, the Light of the Sun shines on the Moon, and causes Light to "Reflect" off the Moon...and that is our First foreshadow Of knowledge, later revealed...earthly men can Only be illuminated, enLIGHTened, BY the REFLECTION of the True Light, which IS the WORD (named Jesus), Called the Son of God, AND Christ, (the Power, Wisdom, Seed of God).
As the moon, is not seen with light, sometimes with a bit of light but fading away and Fullness of light...is a parallel to mankind.
Isa 42:
[
8] I am the LORD: that is my name: and
my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
His LIGHT has a TITLE: CHRIST.
1 Cor 1:
[
24] But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks,
Christ the power of God, and the
wisdom of God.
Gal 3:
[
16] Now to
Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed,
which is Christ.
And to note..."Once" knowledge from God, IS revealed...it matter not, the timeframe of an individual's "Beginning", the knowledge stands True. The knowledge may or may not apply to every "individual", yet it stands True...as because the knowledge will always apply to some.
And to note:
Idea/ plan/ Creation itself...IS EFFECTED Aka "MADE" BY Gods WORD and POWER.
The Heavenly Father is called the CREATOR...
The Maker, God said to call His SON.
Which is to say; a CREATED Thing, can DO nothing of itself...UNTIL the "MAKER" Causes the CREATED thing...to be MADE...activated (for lack of a better word).
John 1:
- [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
- [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Glory to God,
Taken
