1 | We have seen Jesus... | 1 Timothy | Shythiyl | 165224 | ||
In having read the book umpteen times over the past 1/2 centry, apon my most recient re-reading of it, a thought just came to mind. Keep in mind John 1:1. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Now consider what Jesus states in John 14:21. "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him." “And will manifest (show) myself to him.” Now... My thought is, "He has manifest Himself to me in His word." I believe, but have yet researched it, that scripture states something to this affect, elsewhere. Many take this passage literally. I firmly believe that, just like the rest of scripture, depending on the specific circumstances, this passage can be taken either way. literally or figuratively. Having no desire to get into a doctrinal discussion on the matter, I would like to ask, what passages you would provide in support, or contrast to this thought? |

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy Great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,justified in the Spirit,seen of angels,preached unto the Gen'tiles,beleved on in the world,recieved up into glory. Literally My thought on this is the BIBLE is a literal book, Jesus literally was born of a virgin, Jesus literally died on the cross, Jesus literally was raised from the dead, Jesus literally ascended into heaven,Jesus literally sits at the right hand of the father. I think the BIBLE is a literal book. in christ. |

Your statements are factual. Yet do you think Jesus meant it literally when He said "that if your eye sins against you, pluck it out; If your hand sins, cut it off"? If this were the case, there would be a lot of self mutilation. The more mutilated one was, the more righteous that one would be considered, yet He also stated that the body is the temple of God, and that anything done to defile that temple... I think you missed my point. |
