"1 John 1:1-2 is referencing Jesus as the one they have heard, seen, and touched, what problems are created when replacing Jesus with “Scripture” that they have heard, seen, and touched"
It says nothing of a sort - "that which" is not a person Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Your trying to suggest they mauled Jesus lol.
To Boot, he was NOT there with the Father as the scriptures clearly teach.
Oh please wotsup, pretty please
The use of the word "that" in 1 John 1:1-2 is significant as it highlights the specificity and uniqueness of Jesus as the subject of John's message. By using the word "that," John is emphasizing that Jesus is not just any ordinary person, but someone extraordinary and incomparable.
Additionally, the word "that" can indicate a certain distance or distinction. In this context, it suggests that Jesus surpasses all others in his divine nature and role. John wants to convey that Jesus is distinct from any other person or figure that readers may encounter or have knowledge of.
Furthermore, the use of "that" also helps to maintain focus and attention on Jesus. By employing a demonstrative pronoun, John emphasizes the object of his message. He wants his readers to understand that his purpose is to testify about this unique person, Jesus Christ, and the eternal life that comes through him.
Overall, using the word "that" in reference to Jesus in this passage emphasizes his unparalleled significance, unique identity, and divine nature, distinguishing him from all others and seeking to capture the attention of the readers.
