1 | IS TONGUES FOR TODAY? | 1 Cor 14:5 | HamsteRulz | 57223 | ||
Greetings Rextar, I know what Jesus said. I am fully away of the Scriptures, but I don't think that you understand what He is saying or else you would not have used this Scripture. The first rule in interpreting any Scripture is that you cannot take one Scripture and make a doctrine out of it. Secondly, no Scripture contradicts itself. The author of this book, St. John(John the Beloved), stated previously that God's plan(Word[logos]) was with Him during Creation and then later it was made into flesh which took on the name of Jesus. This was God's initial plan since Creation. Therefore, the plan for God manifesting Himself in the flesh to die for the sins of the world came before God had a plan for Abraham. Abraham was a vital part of the initial plan but did not come util the initial plan was at play. Hence, Jesus said before Abraham was I am! |

Plan? "WORD. ([the GREEK word] *logos*, Strong's # 3056) denotes (I) 'the expression of thought'--not the mere name of an object--(a) as embodying a conception or idea...(b) a saying or statement...(c) discourse, speech, of instruction, etc." (Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words). 'John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 'Word 'Gr. "Logos" (arm. "Memra," used in the Targums, or Heb. paraphrases, for God). The Greek term means, '(1) a thought or concept; '(2) the expression or utterance of that thought. As a designation of Christ, therefore, Logos is peculiarly felicitous because, '(1) in Him are embodied all the treasures of the divine wisdom, the collective "thought" of God 1 Corinthians 1:24; Ephesians 3:11; Colossians 2:2,3 and, '(2) He is from eternity, but especially in His incarnation, the utterance or expression of the Person, and "thought" of Deity John 1:3-5,9,14-18; 14:9-11; Colossians 2:9. 'In the Being, Person, and work of Christ, Deity is told out' (Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on John 1". "Scofield Reference Notes (1917 Edition)". (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ScofieldReferenceNotes/). 1917. According to Strong's KJV New Testament Greek Lexicon, 'A Greek philosopher named Heraclitus first used the term Logos around 600 B.C. to designate the divine reason or plan which coordinates a changing universe. This word was well suited to John's purpose in John 1.' |
