" I’m genuinely curious why you’re so fixated on this particular topic."
First up, I see in your other post, you are rehashing what you first put up and erroneously said what they mean, I addressed them, so why are you not directly addressing that?
Re the John matter, have you not seen my many post there, as to WHY there cannot be two persons in 1:1 and WHY the word "with" simply cannot be there.
John 1:2 This; was in beginning = are you aware or have you taken notice of my posts, there is NO other word but "this" to be used there = "This" is Not referring to a person.
But as for your curiosity -> that's a fair question, come thought and I could write a whole page on the Why.
My drivers;
1. I AM passionate about TRUTH to the point I AM abscessed with it, I have NO tolerance for untruths, I detest them, but on the Biblical, it's not the people themselves, but what they present.
I aim for perfection and Total accuracy for all that I do, other wise I will redo and redo until it is, hands on work, jack of all trades as well etc, it's part of me, which can be a pain lol
2. I don't know for sure what it will mean for others, but many verses Don't paint a good picture, so I have BIG concern for others, and if that's a fault, I will happily take that on board.
3. When you find truth, the immediate thought comes to mind and troubles you, How can so many said expert scholars that have been at this for years, have it wrong = It can't be God's doing = you then search with passion (thinking of others), where and why is this happening and WHERE is the enemies KEY battle plan of TRAP as it MUST be there and probably right before our eyes.
4. In short, No if buts maybes, the Father IS our teacher The Spirit of truth = how in His name can we possibly have the likes of 30,000 differing christian faiths = The Spirit of truth is NOT in play, other wise we would have to say, that Jesus lied.
5. WHY do people not appear to SEE this clear and obvious, and get on the train to find the answers = mystery to me?
6. The enemy already has the Jews, Muslims, non followers, so logic and common sense says, He WILL strike within Christianity and you will NOT see the wolf or angel of light and the Power of set seeds = these have been GROSSLY under estimated -> Sadly.
7. Finally -> most would say, what in the hec would someone like you, a person from the bush, poor writing skills etc know, compared to the many years of experts = they have totally missed many messages, become a child and THE FATHER AND JESUS TAKING OUR HAND AND LEADING US IF NOT DRAGGING US ALONG -> and if one doesn't know this 100%, then You better ask WHY NOT????????????????????????????
8. Jesus is VERY CLEAR, only FEW find = TRUTH.
9. Where do I place myself in this Big picture = one of the Least and as Jesus would say -> I can of my own self do nothing, hence I do NOT take credit for my findings.
John 17:3 This now is the eternal life that they should know You (Father) the Only True God and whom you have sent, Jesus Christ.
Jesus here, independently of himself, defines the Father as the only true God when he was he, life eternal in on this.
After the cross and his 40 days, he was glorified and made and only begotten God = He was not one when here, CONFIRMING his words when here and I believe him, as life depends on His words, not ours.
2nd Adam Man, A God under the Almighty God and Father.
The odd verses (limited) elsewhere that show him as a God, are all in this timeframe.
17:3 = imo there, the first port of call so to speak is -> know who and what they are = first milk and Then you are ready to form a relationship with them, instead of the figment of you imaginations, which might as well be, Humpty Dumpty.
--------------
"Surely, you see the need to expand beyond this and delve into more insightful discussions"
Jesus's words are very clear in John 17:3, if you have another Father and Son in your mind, any other discussions are fruitless.
Paul warns us about people would create another Jesus, he wouldn't have bothered mentioning it, if it was of no concern.
BUT, every one seems to miss his KEY in that verse = As Eve was deceived = she would of had NO idea, innocent so to speak.
And what are we SEEING = EXACTLY that = nothing new under the sun, what was will be, End revealed from the Beginning = expect the same in the likes of now = deceived.
So, it will be very near the end, before untruths vanish.
-------------
If you claim Jesus is The Word, then the Bible DEMANDS that you show, that Jesus spoke the Gens creation into being = Will you show me this ????
-------------TRUTH as per the Inter and it's definitions:
Rom 4:17 - (as it is written, “I have made you (figuratively) a father of many nations” ) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;
As in and figuratively -> he loved the Jesus to be before the foundation of the world John 17:24.
John 17:5 - Andnow glorify Me You, Father, beside Yourself, the glory which to have (not yet)before the world existed, with You.
"Beside Yourself - to have" -> Psa 110:1- A Psalm of David. Yehowah says to my Lord: “Sit at My right handUntil I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
Col 3:1 - If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things whichare above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand ofGod.
As often the case, Jesus is clearly drawing from the scriptures, which speak of him, which is what he is doing here.17:17 -> Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
