So lets say, we have a verse that appears to be like 1 +1 = 2 and some says, No way does it say that, No way. Now I don't say they are all like that, but some rather important verses ones are.
Now I'm not talking about "my" opinion as words say what they say and mean what they mean and in some instances, if it's not entirely clear, then we can draw upon similar areas to confirm the subject, which often, people will Not do.
So then your left with the baffling question, what's on earth is going on.
So as where looking at the Biblical subject, "obviously" we have to turn to the Bible for possible answers and the possibles, are all over or through the Bible. And again, not "my" opinion but the Bible's.
We either claim to believe and follow the Bible or we don't, no half measures.
And yes, the Bible does say, this line of thought or application, "will" offend some.
So lets just take one glaringly astounding and just one point with the John 1:1 subject The Word.
Straight up and logic says, "if" John was introducing Jesus at 1:1 WHY on earth would he Not just say, In the Beginning was Jesus?
It is very clear in Gen, the key there is God said, God said, God said.
And blow me down, the very third verse in John, no question about it, confirms what the Word is referring to = Gen and before God spoke = Plan as that is what the Logos meanings say and confirm.
And yet man effectively goes into convolution's (Endless essays) of dribble to make the ridiculous claim that we have.
So you tell me, What is going on as there are NUMEROUS verses in the Bible that solves this without question, beyond doubt?
The Bible is clear, if you don't have those first basics, God & Jesus, who they are, You don't know them.
If you know not one of them, you know not the other.
Now this is from the Biblical perspective and don't you worry, I can't back this up with numerous verses and clear ones, so if that be the case, are You suggesting I have it wrong, up a gum tree?
Should I abandon what the Bible actually says and follow mans opinion?
