Bible Note: Greetings Welsh! You said: "However, the words "WAS GOD" need the qualification of other scriptures to help realize that the WORD as being GOD is in the sense of Jesus having all the divine fullness of God given to him by his Father. Jesus is the preimminent representation of God." Exactly where in Scripture does it say that all of the "divine fullness" was given to Jesus? John 1:1 makes the exact opposite point! He always was God. There never was a time when He wasn't God. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
