How do you interpret John 1:14?I'm not sure how your definition fits in this verse.14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Could you explain what "the Word became flesh" means?
And, who is the only begotten of the father?

Re: Re: Is Jesus God? And Why it Matters.
Actually I can explain that... what does it mean to be made Flesh??? to be made flesh is to be made real... God said a child shall be born unto a virgin and Jesus was born unto a virgin...RickD wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 10:45 amOk.

Re: Re: Is Jesus God? And Why it Matters.
as for the only begotten let us look at that one...
Psalms 2:7 "I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.
Hebrews 5:5 So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, "YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU

The word "flesh" in John 1:14, literally means "human".

So, are you saying that "the Word became flesh", and "the only begotten of the father", both refer to Jesus Christ?

Re: Re: Is Jesus God? And Why it Matters.
ok, lol, since you are still going to insist on trying to bring the fact of the Word being flesh as God in Human form then you also believe that God can die.
Keep in mind that none of the apostles believed that God could die. Paul especially lol.. Jesus died and God raised him from the dead....lol...
Common sense would put two and two together and realize this...
But then again commonsense would be to read all the facts given...
God spoke and it was done. God gave life to his words.
so by your own definition, we are all God because if God hadn't said "Let us make man in our own image and in our own likeness." then we could not exist.
Gonna have to present a better argument than that.

Re: Re: Is Jesus God? And Why it Matters.
seriously you cannot even defend your own beliefs even though they have no foundation???
I mean if you can't comprehend what the word means then how can you argue against the word???

Re: Re: Is Jesus God? And Why it Matters.
Again Lonnie,
In John 1:14, the discipline John says:
So, logically, the Word is Jesus Christ.
In John 1:14, the discipline John says:
The word translated as flesh, means human. And you have already said that the only begotten of the father, is Jesus Christ.14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
So, logically, the Word is Jesus Christ.

So, now that we've established that the only begotten, and the Word, both refer to Jesus Christ, do you now see John 1:1 in a different light?
