    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    The opening of the gospel of John is a wonderful expression of God's love. God "...wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth" (Timothy 2:4). He authored the opening of John in such a way that it reveals the truth about Him and His plan for all of mankind and, at the same...

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    We agree that John writes that the Word was with God. And that John continues that "the Word was God" in John 1:1. But then you make the jump that John proclaimed that Jesus is God. And I don't see how you get to make that jump from the Greek word "logos" which is not the name for Jesus.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    It's important to understand that the Bible was not written in a vacuum, but was recorded in the context of a culture and was understood by those who lived in that culture. Sometimes verses that seem superfluous to us were meaningful to the reader of the time because they were well aware of the...

    Data On The Trinity

    Speaking of Gnostics... Gnosticism took many forms, but generally Gnostics taught that there was a supreme and unknowable Being, which they designated as the "Monad." The Monad produced various gods, who in turn produced other gods (these gods were called by different names, in part because of...

    Does John 1:1 say Jesus is God

    The logos, that is, the plan, purpose and wisdom of God, "became flesh" (came into concretion or physical existence) in Jesus Christ. Jesus is the "...image of the invisible God..." (Colossians 1:15) and His chief emissary, representative and agent. Because Jesus perfectly obeyed the Father, he...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    The logos is the expression of God and is His communication of Himself just as a "word" is an outward expression of a person's thoughts. This outward expression of God has now occurred through His Son and thus it's perfectly understandable why Jesus is called the "Word." Jesus is an outward...

    Yeah I can... The logos is the expression of God and is His communication of Himself just as a "word" is an outward expression of a person's thoughts.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    The Lord is Jesus. Not God. God made Jesus both Lord and Christ. Here's the verse... Acts 2:36 "...God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ."

    Neither of those two verses say one must believe Jesus is God to be saved.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    With all the definitions and ways logos can be translated, how can we decide which meaning of logos to choose for any one verse? How can it be determined what the logos in John 1:1 is? Any occurrence of logos has to be carefully studied in its context in order to get the proper meaning. We...
