Mornin Hank! Well, Got up and put on a fresh brain, and decided the order wasn't quite so tall, that is if the one reading is willing to accept it. I don't think I could do to much better this. ;-) John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. 6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. 9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. Here's just a little back up. Phil 2:7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. I know there's a lot more, but I think that does cover it pretty well. God bless. John |

Hi John I wanted to expand a bit on your answer... In John 14:6, Jesus said ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’. What is truth? If we look at the simple mathematical statement of 1 plus 1 equals 2, we find out the following about truth: • All truth is never changing – it does not change from generation to generation; from community to community; from person to person (Mt 5:17-18) • All truth existed prior to man – prior to man declaring, judging or opinionating on it. (Jn 17:24) • Truth is not subject to change based upon man’s opinion: it ignores man’s opinion as to whether 1 plus 1 should equal any value other than 2. (Mt 16:13-14) • All truth existed prior to anything physical; such as the planets and the universe. In the darkest voids of space, the truth of 1 plus 1 remains. (Gen 1:1) • All truth will continue to exist after man and for all time. (Rev 1:8 and 1 Jn 2:25) • Truth does not contain deception or fraud (Mk 9:7; Is 53:9; 1 Peter 2:22) Where does truth come from? • All truth is discovered or revealed, not created (Mt 16:15-17) • The source of truth is the essence, reason or rationality of God (Jn 1:14) • If truth had been created by God, then it would be changeable – the artist or storyteller can change his creation. If created, 1 plus 1 could equal some other value (Jn 1:2 and 1 Peter 1:25) • By being of the essence of God, then like God, truth has no beginning, it is never changing and never ending (Rev 1:8 and Rev 1:17-18) • Truth proceeds from truth o as fire proceeds from fire o as light proceeds from light o as speech (words) proceed from reason (Gen 1:1-3 and Jn 1:1-5) John 1:14 And the Word became flesh Like man in every way except sin (1 Jn 3:9; Heb 4:14-15) What is man’s responsibility towards truth? • Man’s responsibility is to: o Seek to truly discover o Strive to understand with his heart o Live, convey and unite with truth, which is the essence of God. o (Mt 13:13-16; Jn 4:22-24 ; Jn 6:45; Jn 17:19-23; Jn 14:6) Brian |

Hello Edwin, My pleasure as always to hear from you. Thank you for your exposit teaching of the truth from God's Word. Amen to your insights. If I may However, I would add to mans (responsibility) just one thing, and I believe, the most (important) one by the way. i.e. The (proclaiming) of that truth of which we speak, and to preach the gospel of salvation to all the world. 1 Tim 3:16 By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory. Heb 2:12 saying, "I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE." 1 Pet 2:9 But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; God bless. John |
