Subject: who can explain to me? |
Bible Note: 1. According to my english grammar, I never find this kind of same usage on this case, 'Word' here is both a verb and a noun, because there is an article, 'the', in front of the 'Word'. Obviously, my understanding, here 'Word' is a noun. 2. I have slightly different comments on the issue of 'WORD' that is used refers to Jesus. Furthermore, my appreciation of this 'Word' is the pre-human existence of Jesus because in John 1:14 shows very clear history of Jesus Chirst. Anyway, thank you for your answer. May God be with us to approach his knowledge through Jesus Christ. |
