Subject: Who is God Talking to in verse 26? |
Bible Note: Tess, Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He is not created and the scriptures do not identify the Word as God's first creation. This is faulty JW theology! The major problem with your erroneous interpretation of John 1:1 as the Word being "a God" is that you're admitting polytheism. The firstborn of all creation- Prototokos- is more a reference to position than chronology! it identifies the RELATION of the Son to creation. In similar vain is John 1:18- "the only Begotten". In considering John 1:18 "the only begotten", John alone uses monogenes to describe the relation of Jesus to God the Father. The word is descriptive of the kind of Sonship Christ possesses and not of the process establishing such a relationship. Jesus has the same nature as the Father. To call Jesus "the only begotten Son" means that he is fully divine and eternal. He is God the Son. Your position is nothing more than Arianism, which was soundly defeated at the Council of Nicea in 325. The Athansian Creed also has a more fully clarified definition of the nature of the Son. He is equal to the Father in His divinity! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
