1 | Dear Forum, can you verify my research? | John 1:1 | survivor | 134118 | ||
Read this carefully as it supports my understanding: James Moffatt: "'The Word was God...And the Word became flesh,' simply means "The word was divine...And the Word became human.' The Nicene faith, in the Chalcedon definition, was intended to conserve both of these truths against theories that failed to present Jesus as truly God and truly man..." Jesus Christ the Same (Abingdon-Cokesbury, 1945), p.61. The word was divine, not God. The Nicene creed tried to "preserve this truth against theories that failed to present Jesus as truly God and truly man." Follow the evolution of creeds and you'll see how this truth was later ignored. |

Hello survivor, You better check your local dictionary. From the American Heritage Dictionary: diĀ·vine adj. 1. a. Having the nature of or being a deity. b. Of, relating to, emanating from, or being the expression of a deity. c. Being in the service or worship of a deity; sacred. 2. Superhuman; godlike. 3. a. Supremely good or beautiful; magnificent. b. Extremely pleasant; delightful. 4. Heavenly; perfect. All of these fit the Lord Jesus Christ including 1.a. Steve |

Steve: You missed Moffatt's point as well. He refutes John 1:1 as a trinity text. Like DIVINE, "deity" also as several meanings: DEITY: 1 a : the rank or essential nature of a god : DIVINITY b capitalized : GOD 1, SUPREME BEING 2 : a god or goddess (the deities of ancient Greece) 3 : one exalted or revered as supremely good or powerful |
