"He comes very strong with the notion that he's views are God given truth,"
Yes, which he gave to the Son who independently of himself, said his Father was the Only True God and I WILL take THEIR word over your Father of lies words, any day.
There is absolutely nothing extremely deep in Jesus's clear and obvious words on that one, only for the deluded ones. If your take is supposed to be from expert scholars, then they are NOT worth a pinch of salt, but 2 Thes 2:11 would make this white matter, impossible for you to SEE, as You have CLEARLY demonstrated.
Glory to God in that his inspired word is running True to form. ------------ "The closest who come to believing in what he has to offer are Unitarians and Oneness, both wouldn't take any notice of him especially of John 1, I was watching a clip just this morning, they believed the "Word" was referring to Jesus, so does with v14, Jesus was the Word that became flesh"
Clueless is still showing us ALL on here, the ppm is still in his closet.
Here is the likes of what some say, re 1:1.
In beginning was the Word of Life (in God) and the Word of life was in progress, ongoing = toward THE God and A god to be and to be seated at the RHS of God was the Word to be. This; (as above) was in beginning ongoing, in progress = toward THE God. Hence - 1:4 In Him Yehowah life was = in his inner logos/plan and that life was the light of men = now his inner logos/plans expressed, as part of is shown to have happened in 1:3, by Yehowah alone and by himself, expressed it out, let there be life and there was life. Isa 44:24, another one you cannot address. That (words) was the true light that enlightens EVERY man coming into the world, right back to Adam, it was NOT about to come into the world, as some LYING Bibles claim.
However, that 1:1 version "a god" is NOT true, "THE God" became the subject, hence and (The) God was the Word and not the corrupted version, and the Word was God.
this spill - and the word was with the God -> the definitions in order of the Greek preferences = To, Toward and With and when you define them all, the TRUE context shines out, the likes of ongoing, in progress = planning toward (belonging to) the God. Meaning, there is NO way possible that any of these definitions, are describing another identity as in 2 in 1:1. While your logos/plan is in you, it IS You = and God (Yehowah) was the Word.
The likes of Mal 3:1 and Isa's match up, makes it very clear to THOSE of God, that the way at first will be made FOR Yehowah, and the writer of John, does EXACTLY that in the first 13 verses, which are in reference to Yehowah and His word of Life, which made Jesus.
Jesus is the results of the word, the word of life and became the Carrier of it, without measure and named to represent this - The Word OF God. You do NOT become what you are "OF", it's as simple as that.
Jesus was flesh, of which he says, their words profit nothing, Hence he was speaking the words of Yehowah, which Gave him life in himself, Spirit and life John 5:26, 6:63,68, = well and truly ruling him OUT as being The Word.
His name The Word of God is by inheritance FROM The Word. ---------- "righteousness chip and glory he's bestowed on himself as being always right."
The righteousness chip, and glory and always right, is JESUS's as HE quotes and defines in John 17:3 and not your corrupted, unrighteousness of it.
