No finger pointing = did not get any sleep last night

Nevertheless John 12:48 argues against your OP as does John 1:1 and the scriptures in my initial post to you.

John 12:48
My
μου (mou)
Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Genitive 1st Person Singular
Strong's Greek 1473: I, the first-person pronoun. A primary pronoun of the first person I.

words:
ῥήματά (rhēmata)
Noun - Accusative Neuter Plural
Strong's Greek 4487: From rheo; an utterance, ; by implication, a matter or topic; with a negative naught whatever.

The
ὁ (ho)
Article - Nominative Masculine Singular
Strong's Greek 3588: The, the definite article. Including the feminine he, and the neuter to in all their inflections; the definite article; the.

word
λόγος (logos)
Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular
Strong's Greek 3056: From lego; something said; by implication, a topic, also reasoning or motive; by extension, a computation; specially, the Divine Expression.

that
ὃν (hon)
Personal / Relative Pronoun - Accusative Masculine Singular
Strong's Greek 3739: Who, which, what, that.

I have spoken
ἐλάλησα (elalēsa)
Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 1st Person Singular
Strong's Greek 2980: A prolonged form of an otherwise obsolete verb; to talk, i.e. Utter words.

will judge
κρινεῖ (krinei)
Verb - Future Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular
Strong's Greek 2919: Properly, to distinguish, i.e. Decide; by implication, to try, condemn, punish.

The reading which I posted in the OP is really not any different than most semi-literal translations except that my reading highlights the issues I brought up, 1), that if we are going to capitalize the emphatic "ho Logos" in John 1:1 then we should also do so anywhere else in at least the same Gospel account where it has a clear impact on doctrine, and John 12:48 is surely one of those places. And 2), the fact that the word ekeinos in that passage, (referring back to "ho Logos"), literally means "that one" or "that thing". The semi-literal word for word translations generally read ekeinos as "the same" which is also found in the lexical definitions for ekeinos. My rendering therefore does not mean anything different than translations such as the KJV or the ASV, it's just that my reading is more emphatic so as to wake people up to what the text is actually saying and teaching.

John 12:48 KJV
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

John 12:48 ASV
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.

But what if these texts capitalized the Logos and ekeinos, (the same), which refers back to the Logos in theses texts in order to be consistent with John 1:1?

John 12:48 KJV(+)
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the Word that I have spoken, the Same shall judge him in the last day.

John 12:48 ASV(+)
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the Word that I spake, the Same shall judge him in the last day.

This is no different than what is in the OP and within its context it refutes the core premise of your doctrine.

@dak - thank you for the scriptures = much appreciated

John 1:1 = How many times is 'Logos' spoken in One Direct Truth???

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences. 2 Corinthians 5:10-11

All Christians will be judged by Jesus Christ.

Where did you learn that the nomina sacra Ι̅Η Χ̅Ρ mean "Jesus Christ" in this particular passage? I am very serious: you learned that interpretation from the early RCC, whether or not you realize it, for no scholarship that I know of has ever even questioned their interpretations of the nomina sacra since that time. There is hidden manna in the Nomina Sacra, and that is most certainly true concerning sacred names which is what they are called, (that is the meaning of the plural Latin, "Nomina Sacra", so-named by the RCC, not me). I learned quite differently from Elohim in His Word.

Sorry, not interested, I have already seen enough of your brand of illegitimate gematria in other threads.
John 1:1 In ethe beginning was the Logos and the Logos was with God and the Logos was God
Genesis 1:27 Elohim(Plural) said Let Us make man in Our image according to Our likeness


Your OP is Officially exposed as error by the LOGOS = WAY the TRUTH the LIFE

So now I have seen the same illegitimate gematria again here in this thread.
And you think that means anything? It doesn't: it's just word sorcery imo.

And the peoples with His truth. Psalms 96:13

Direct and CLEAR Scripture is now "sorcery" !!!

@amigo de christo

What I spoke about was as I stated: your illegitimate gematria, which you foist upon the scripture so as to alter just about every scripture you post concerning your belief that Elohim is three, and which you are running around spreading across the board. And moreover I already stated to you that I did see it elsewhere.

If i were standing with them i would find it "APPALLING" that JESUS is Elohim with His FATHER

Ecahd Elohim is a Plural Phrase because of TRUTH = Genesis/Let Us,Our,Our(3x) and Exodus/Elohenu 3x Avraham/Yitzach/Yakov

Why do you find the 1WAY the 2TRUTH the 3LIFE "appalling"??? = 3x

Why do you find this "appalling"??? = the angels praising Elohim 3x = 1HOLY 2HOLY 3HOLY = 1LORD 2GOD 3ALMIGHTY

You should be Rejoicing as the angels = 3x
Post 340 is false advertising

This is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE = any divergence from it is a 'twist' = make straight the paths of the LORD

YAHWEH is the preincarnate JESUS = John 6:36/John 5:37 "no one has seen the FATHER / nor heard His Voice at any time"

YAHWEH, IAM, gave the Shema, in addition to the TRUTH shown to Moses beginning with GENESIS to the Jewish people so that they would
know exactly who their ELOHIM is = THREE who are ECHAD

Genesis 1:26 - Let US make man in OUR image according to OUR likeness = 3x Spoken

Exodus 3:13-15
Then Moses said to Elohim, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The Elohim of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”

And Elohim said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” Moreover Elohim said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel:
‘The Yahweh Elohim of your fathers,
Elohenu of Abraham, Elohenu of Isaac, Elohenu of Jacob, has sent me to you = 3 Persons Echad Elohim

This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.’

The Same Name given to us in the Gospel and Revelation = FATHER/SON/HOLY SPIRIT = LORD GOD ALMIGHTY

And yes, it is word sorcery, in my opinion.

Your dilemma is that i posted Genesis 1:1 which is the exact Scripture by which the Apostle John begins his Gospel with - John 1:1

Genesis 1:1 = John 1:1

You claim of sorcery is against the Apostle John and the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ

Your dilemma is that I did not remove anything from those two posts of yours in my previous response: those were the full quotes, and in neither one of them did you quote Genesis 1:1. Your compounded dilemma is therefore the fact that you believe that whatever you say is true just because you say so: and you expect everyone just to believe you, and when they do not, you accuse them of not believing the scripture and attacking the Word of Elohim. You are not Elohim, and neither are you equal to Elohim, and because of the violence you inflict upon His Word you utterly condemn yourself.

Now please let the condemnation fest come to an end and let us return to the actual thread topic. You have neither posted nor proven anything that refutes the Testimony of the Meshiah in the OP.

Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences. 2 Corinthians 5:10-11

Perhaps more explanation is necessary. The following image file contains 2Cor 5:10 from Codex Vaticanus. It contains the nomen sacrum Chi-Upsilon because by this time church scribes had already added case endings to the original nomina sacra and were now removing the second letters and leaving only the first letter and the case ending. So then, this nomen sacrum is nothing more than the Chi with a case ending, Upsilon, (and this was about as far as the corruption went). Anyway this will still help you to see and hopefully understand what I am talking about, (these things are obviously much more involved but I am trying to keep it as short and simple as possible). I will enclose the phrase "bematos tou XU, (the overlined nomina sacra) in a blue box.

2Cor-5-10-GA-03.png

The same phrase in the following is also highlighted with blue:

2 Corinthians 5:10 N/A-W/H
10 τους γαρ παντας ημας φανερωθηναι δει εμπροσθεν του βηματος του χριστου ινα κομισηται εκαστος τα δια του σωματος προς α επραξεν ειτε αγαθον ειτε φαυλον

Do you see what I mean? The modern Greek texts, (and the T/R is the same), have taken a nomen sacrum and interpreted it for the reader, and their interpretation is Christou, (genitive case, which is the same with their nomen sacrum XU, it's in the genitive case but has dropped the letter Rho).

I don't know how to make it any simpler and shorter than that. All of the online electronic texts are from the actual printed texts, the T/R, morph texts, majority text, Greek orthodox, etc., which contain these interpretations of the nomina sacra: thus all of the online electronic texts also contain these interpretations of the two nomina sacra related to the Meshiah-Christos, (the Anointed One) and the Chrestos, (the Gracious), who is the Logos and the eternal Son who is ever in the bosom of the Father on His right hand side.

Tetragrammaton.png

Taste and see that Yah is Chrestos.

Jesus Christ is the Judge.

Not according to the plain, bold, emphatic statements of the Meshiah-Christos in the OP.

PS: here is an earlier Uncial text, (P46), containing 2Cor 5:10 with the nomen sacrum where the Rho has not been dropped yet but the case ending has been added, (as a perfect example of the process I spoke of above).

So we have in this text of the same verse the phrase bematos tou Chi-Rho-Upsilon, (Chi-Rho with the case ending).

2Cor-5-10-P46.png

Moreover we have an ancient Uncial fragment, P18, containing a portion of Rev 1, which has the original forms of the two nomina sacra pertaining to the Son and the Meshiah Anointed One, without any case endings, Ι̅Η Χ̅Ρ. You don't even need to be able to read the text because Wiki has the rendering for the text in Greek with the overlined nomina sacra three paragraphs down on the page, under the title "Original Greek", with a transliteration next to it and the NIV English translation next to that.

No more pictures of things on the internet.

My previous posts did include Gen 1:1 as the Apostle John does.

The Apostle John in his FIRST sentence of the Gospel is quoting Genesis 1:1

In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God.

Yourself and the others can either pray and receive the Holy Spirit of Truth so that you may SEE; or you remain stuck in you own intellectual bias against the TRUTH

I not only believe but know what Paul says in that passage, but as I have already shown you: I do not believe Paul says "Christ" in that passage because of the understanding of that nomen sacrum which the Word of the Father has taught me. You learned it from the RCC interpretation: I learned it from the Word of the Father. You and I do not agree on His name. Neither does Paul agree with you and this is proven in a different epistle.

We're done, have a nice life.
The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

@Matthias = the Lord Jesus Christ added a 's' to god/elohim

Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:

TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.

Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained.
He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

I not only believe but know what Paul says in that passage, but as I have already shown you: I do not believe Paul says "Christ" in that passage because of the understanding of that nomen sacrum which the Word of the Father has taught me. You learned it from the RCC interpretation: I learned it from the Word of the Father. You and I do not agree on His name. Neither does Paul agree with you and this is proven in a different epistle.

Here is the same thing from a different Chapter.


When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
“Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

Matthew 25:31-46

I fully believe everything the Meshiah teaches including the passage you have quoted here. However I am curious how you know that this is speaking of the Bema Judgment? Those accursed that are sent away into everlasting fire are going to the place "prepared for the devil and his angels".
