Lesson 4 Life of CHRIST The Pre-Existence of CHRIST Part 2
Just as I had promised I will continue our study on Lesson 4. In John 1:1-13 speaks of "In the beginning" in verse 1 GOD, The WORD, The LIGHT all speaks of GOD the FATHER, GOD the SON, GOD the HOLY SPIRIT, which is the HOLY TRINITY, ALL are seperate forms, yet ALL are the Same. Our finite minds can't truly grasp around this, but, it's not debateable, it's the HOLY Truth as stated in GOD'S Word. GOD existed before anything. In the greek Word is Logos. The Jehovah's Witness publish a bible called the new word translation. It translates John 1:1, " the Word was a God." (emphasis added). This translation violates an absolute law of Greek grammer. GOD is merely not A God. HE is GOD period! The Apostle John was sent tp testify to the light so that all might believe. It's a sad fact that all don't believe in GOD nor will everyone be Saved by the Grace of GOD through JESUS CHRIST. We as believers can't allow this fact to defeat us in our testimony and witness. We are to be that Light pointing men, women, boys and girls to GOD in all we are and do. John 1:12 puts it simply that we must believe and recieve JESUS. HE will give us Power to become the Son's of GOD. John 1:11 states JESUS came to HIS own people and they recieved HIM not. The same will happen to us. We will be mocked, persecuted, denied from our families and friends, punished, critized, etc for taking a stand for GOD. That's the Truth! John 1:13 states we are not born into a relationship with GOD, we are not blood-related with GOD (Except through the HOLY BLOOD shed by JESUS on the Cross), we are not willed in our flesh to be of GOD, we are not willed as who we are made of to be of GOD..But believing and recieving JESUS CHRIST and HIS Paid-in-Full shedding of HIS HOLY Blood, Dying, Rising again from the dead and today sitting on the right hand of GOD the FATHER in Heaven making intercession for us Daily and pleading our case to GOD, we are birthed into the Family of Our HOLY GOD by simple Faith and heaps of Grace. Amen. John 1:13 speaks of this as being born spiritually as I just stated. We that are Saved have a 2nd Birth in JESUS which creates a better birthday that when we were born into this world from our Mother's. We must be grounded in GOD'S Word to grow in the Grace and Admonition of GOD so we can withstand what the devil throws at us every day. Everything we are is GOD. Without GOD we have No Hope at All. John 1:1 states the Doctrine (Fact) of CHRIST'S Preexsistence. John 8:58, Exodus 3:14, Micah 5:2, states this Truth as well. II Timothy 4:3 speaks of the day in which we live today. The form of CHRIST'S preexistence is told in John 1:1, 20:28, 1:3, 1:4. Or Faith in HIS preexistence is stated in John 1:10-12. All of our Power comes from GOD. We limit GOD'S Power by how we live. At all times in Heaven 2 and 3 are present at all times. Before JESUS came to earth to die for us as sinners, all 3, JESUS, GOD and HOLY SPIRIT was present in Heaven. When JESUS was on earth 2000 years ago, GOD and HOLY SPIRIT were present in Heaven. When JESUS rose from the grave, he left us with the HOLY SPIRIT to guide us and is present with us today. GOD and JESUS are in Heaven today. Where 2 or 3 are gathered in GOD'S Name, HE is in the midst. What truth and Power we as CHRISTians have!! When studying the Greek language, you have to first understand that each word, unlike our English language, has various shades of meaning. GOD made man to live forever. GOD made man to be like CHRIST. GOD made man to be perfect. Man was just that in Adam and Eve before sin entered in and the garden was cursed along with man. Thats why we live in disease, stress, death, suffering, pain..not because of GOD but because of sin. Read Col 1:16, John 1:1-13..All things were created by GOD. GOD created everything from nothing. When HE created man, HE got down on HIS knees and created man from the dust of the ground, which GOD created and breathed the breathe of life into man. GOD made Woman from the rib of man, which GOD created. GOD wants fellowship with man, as HE intended from the beginning. Let me be the Light to my family, freinds, community as I will be possibly the only light of CHRIST that they may ever see. What a job I have and you have to others, not to be self centered with our own struggles and victories. GOD has no past ans has no future, HE has and will Always be!! We have that Hope and our Future is Bright because of JESUS. GOD has no time table. We have a time table because of sin. My future is sealed by CHRIST..I pray yours is too! Until next time is my prayer! GOD Bless HIS Words!!!

Regarding Jehovah's Witnesses' "New World Translation" Bible and its rendering of John 1:1, it may interest you to know that there is soon to be published a 19+ year study (as of 1/2011), a thoroughly researched reference work (an historical analysis & exhaustive annotated bibliography) in support and explanation of their wording of this verse (especially within the third clause with "a god"), as it will be entitled, "What About John 1:1?"
ReplyDeleteTo learn more of its design and expected release date, we invite you to visit:
http://www.goodcompanionbooks.com
When finally published, apart from discussing many other topics and scriptures related to the Trinity, you will discover that there are some 400+ scholarly reference works (including those by Trinitarians) which have opted to say something other than, "and the Word was God," and that, among these are included over 100 which had chosen to use "a god" (as by a number Trinitarians as well) within the third clause of their renderings.
As you might expect, we are very excited at the opportunity to share our findings with others.
