Did the gospel writer John view his first verse, John 1:1, as a means to an end? Or is it the end itself?
Q. In other words, should people interpret the gospel of John in light of the very first verse. Or should the very first verse be interpreted in the light of the rest of the gospel? I ask because many people act as if John 1:1 stands on its own.

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.]

Q. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. -- 1 John 4:20 ... I think as humans in this world, we all have people we don't like, what does it mean to "love everybody" for if we are honest, we all probably have people in our lives we don't like to be around etc. .

A. The bible asks us to love one another not like one another or to want to be around each other very much. To love someone is to pray for them when they cause you hurt and help them when they are in need. I think people who love those that hurt them are generally happier people. It's hard work but worth it.

A. Jesus also showed love for people by looking for the good in them. Consider what happened when he met Nathanael, who later became an apostle. Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him: See, an Israelite for a certainty, in whom there is no deceit. Miraculously, Jesus had looked into Nathanael s heart, thereby learning much about him. Of course, Nathanael was far from perfect. He had his faults, as do all of us. In fact, when he heard about Jesus, he made a rather blunt remark: Can anything good come out of Nazareth? (John 1:45-51) However, of all the things that could be said about Nathanael, Jesus chose something positive to focus on, the man s honesty.

Asked by jimmy_tst - Fri Sep 5 06:44:31 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's always important to look at scripture in the context of the passage. This is one of the LOVE passages, talking about how God loved us first and how, without God, we wouldn't be capable of love. God demonstrated, to us, perfect love in His son Christ. In my opinion, the phrase, "boldness in the day of judgment" is made clearer in the following verse which talks about how there is no fear in perfect love; fear has to do with punishment and, because we are in Christ, we can be bold and not fearful in the day of judgment. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

A. Which is the more reliable source? The orginal language? Or a coptic (or any) translation of that source? Are we to give authority to the Coptic translation that the Greek text doesn't offer? The fact remains that the Coptic translation added an indefinite article that the Greek text didn't require and is thus questionable at best. Not to mention we know that the Church was being lurred away from sound doctrine while the apostles still lived. And the debate over the divinity of Jesus is just as old. So, we should be very careful what manuscripts and translations we give credit to. But really, John 20:28 makes it clear that Jesus is THE God.

A. Jewish rabbis often referred to God, especially in His more personal aspects, in terms of His word. They spoke of God Himself as "the word of God." For example, ancient Hebrew editions of the Old Testament change Exodus 19:17 (Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God) to "Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet the word of God." The Greek philosophers saw the logos as the power which puts sense into the world, making the world orderly instead of chaotic. The logos was the power that set the world in perfect order and kept it going in perfect order. They saw the logos as the "Ultimate Reason" that controlled all things. So, in this opening, John says to both Jews and Greeks: "For centuries you ve been talking,… [cont.]

A. Beats me how they can do that. It even says it like that in the King James Version, one of the older more reliable versions, before people totally screwed with the Bible. And it's not the only verse, either. For those who don't see what "the Word" is, they need only read John 1, particularly verses 1 and 14. And Jesus Himself says "I and my Father are one" in John 10:30. I don't see how they can just ignore these verses. *EDIT* It can be confusing, but then again, nobody fully understands God, do they now? And many times in the New Testament is mentioned "the mystery of Christ", or "the msystery of the Gospel". If they don't know what that means, they really need to read the Bible some more.

You must be baptized as is the tradition and change will ensue. After Jesus was baptized he was tempted by the Devil as are we all. We must find courage and continue to do right even when we don't feel like it, especially when we don't feel like it. Sin will not completely end but it will fade as we are transformed.
