Subject: Where is Jesus called "...the God"? |
Bible Note: Hi inmyheart, Your Matthew 1:22ff reference is interesting compared to John 1:1ff. The One whose name was "Immanuel"--was the One who was in the beginning with God. Translate that into your faith system and you know that this was "God with us." The "wise men" who followed His light in the eastern sky came to worship the Light of the world.--John the baptist was not the Light, but came to bear witness of the Light. The star and the witness of John were just instruments that all might believe through the Light; even we also who believe in His name and authority. Matthew 1:22b, "AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,"... John 1:2, "He was in the beginning with God." From the heart, Ray |
