"All scripture is spiritually discerned." Mind you that the major English translations of the Bible and in fact all 61 translations listed in the Bible Gateway, confirm that John 1:1 states that the Word (Jesus) existed in the beginning, the Word was with God and the Word was God. You would be going up against literally thousands of brilliant scholars, who labored for years, over centuries. In essence, the Holy Spirit guided these scholars to arrive at many versions of the Bible that for the most part say the same thing - especially concerning this particular verse.
It is likely that because you do not believe that Jesus is God or the Holy Spirit is a person, whom the Father sent (another Helper and our Comforter), that you have in your heart, denied this truth about God, that you may have balsphemed the Holy Spirit - which would be why He does not live in you nor guide you to all truth?
Good point, because in John 1:1 the verse itself tells us that God is not three person..... but the same one person as JESUS who is the Holy Spirit.. here's why, notice the highlight and underline. John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
as said, (the Word, Jesus, the Son) was, was, was, "
WITH" God? that right there just told us that Jesus the Son is the SAME person who is God there in the Scripture.
let's see it clearly. Jesus is the First and the Last.. Revelation 2:8 "And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things
saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;" now we know that this is Jesus ... right, and Jesus is ONE PERSON.. right. now this. Isaiah 41:4 "Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning?
I the LORD,
the first, and with the last;
I am he."
the First "
WITH" the Last is ONE PERSON, and Jesus, the same One person in John 1:1 as well in Revelation 2:8 is ONE PERSON. the First and the Last is the
LORD, and Jesus as Son is the
Lord. so, is there two "LORD, and two "Lord?' of course not. there is only ONE first and Last, but the first and the Last is LORD, the Father, in Isaiah 41:4, and in Revelation 2:8 the First and the last is Lord, the Son.
is this two seperate person?..... no, for if the Word in John 1:1 is, (Jesus the Son),
with God, whom many say is Father, then it's the same one Person. and here's why.
in John 1:1, the Son is "
WITH" the Father, correct?. well in Isaiah 41:4, the First is with Last the Last, can that be two person? no way we have proven that, because Jesus one person is the First and the Last, Revelation 2:8.
but one thing., one overlooked, listen, in Isaiah 41:4, the First is "WITH" the last... correct.... now this, Isaiah 48:12 "Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called;
I am he; I am the first,
I also am the last." BINGO
the First who is with the Last is
ALSO the same one Person. as in John 1:1 the Son, (the Word), who is "
WITH" the Father, is
"ALSO" the Father, the same one Person.
we suggest one read those scriptures closley, again. "With" there is "ALSO" the same one Person.
