A. There's not. By the time I, II and III John was written, John the Baptist had already been beheaded and was dead. He is not speaking in first or any other tense in this book.

A. The Greek word heis[one], Strong's G1520 , used at 1 John 5:7 is not the Greek word for one that means only one, someone, making a distinction as it being only one, the Greek word meaning only one is mia Strong's G3391. Heis [one] that is used at 1 John 5:7 after research can mean a group all together as one, means more than one of the same opinion, or of the same importance & esteem. At John 17:3 (KJV) And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

A. MODERN scholars do not hesitate to omit from their Bible translations the spurious passage found at First John 5:7, 8.

Verily Allah gives you the glad tidings of a word from Him, his name will be the Messiah I`sa (Jesus) alay his salam , son of Maryam (Mary), held in honour in this world and in the hereafter, and will be one of those who are close to God."3/46 All knowing Allah refers to Jesus as the word of God without explanation knowing the Gospel said the word is God.

A. John is using these words that strongly affirm the the physical reality of Jesus. This is to dispel the rumor that Jesus was just a spirit, because a spirit could not be heard, gazed at for long periods of time, or handled. There are several passages in the book of John that talk about John being referred to as the disciple whom Jesus loved.

A. Good question, and a tough one too. I did some digging around in different commentaries, and it seems like their joy is not made completely full until they hear his testimony. So those that do not have the whole truth would not have a 'complete' joy. That could be an issue because they may not be Christians, or just have bad doctrine, working off of a false gospel. Ministries and missions would probably be the solution to the issue. I would suggest picking up a good complete commentary on the books in question. $20 for John MacArthur's commentary, he's very biblical in his interpretation. Hope that helps,

A. Each gospel writer approaches Jesus from a little different angle, bringing out and highlighting different aspects of his words, actions, and attitude. John approached his writings with aspects of the purpose of Jesus' life as explained in BOTH John chapter one and 1st John chapter one. These chapters are very similar in language and content. With that in mind, my thought is that they stand on this inclusive introduction of the Christ and his position and power. But - John uses that explanation, and expects the reader to understand and accept Christ's position to understand the rest of the gospel account. Without a correct understanding of the 1st chapter (not first verse), the rest of the gospel loses its power and the love that is… [cont.]

A. That the Word has a far more special position than what we may give credit for. Think of being the Spokesman for Jehovah with the rest of all creation, spirit and human. Think of the favored relationship to gain the intmacy and knowledge to be able to be honored with such an assignment. And to have that "hands on" experience with al creation - almost unbelievable what the Word has been honored with. And then to be so humble to come to the earth to live under the circumstances that he did - what love he had for Jehovah and for mankind. He truly prsonified wisdom and showed his fondness for mankind. (Proverbs chapter 8) For each and every one of us.

Q. first of all, the Word was with God. So, was he God or was he with him? Second of all, the Greek language didn't use the word God with the definite article when referring to Jesus. It used the same word that was used in Acts 12:22 and Acts 28:6 to refer to people that were obviously not the God almighty. So, why all of a sudden does it get used in this context at John 1:1?

A. They are not the same person in my mind. Nowhere does Jesus say that he is. Not only that, he prayed to his father in John 17. Was he praying to himself? Mr Mckenzie obviously has done some studying. But, you clearly have a point about John 1:1. That word is also used throughout the Greek scriptures and is NOT used to refer to God almighty. That word is used to also mean godlike, or divine, a mighty one. The Bible also refers to angels in this sense. It simply means being in God's nature. 2 Cor 4:4 we also see the use of the word "god". Of course in this case it is referring to Satan the Devil. Just take into consideration that the definite article, which they did have in ancient Greek, is not used here. Take that into… [cont.]

A.

This thought was a predestined plan - an absolutely certain future event - and therefore it had a reality attached to it that no human thought could ever have. The Word can also mean the plan or thought of God as expressed in the flesh, that is in the Son. What is the difference, therefore, between the two terms, Word and Son?
