NASB | John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 1:1 In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. [Gen 1:1; Is 9:6] |
Bible Question: In Proverbs chapter 8 the Bible is talking of wisdom which seems to be Jesus in this case. In v.22 some Bible translations state that "The LORD created me first of all..." now can we conclude that Jesus was created by God? |
Bible Answer: After reading the entire proverb it seems at first to be referring to Wisdom, but as you read farther into it the references to Christ seem unmistakable. The Gospel of John however makes it pretty clear Christ(The Word) was with God from the beginning and is God and became flesh. So it would seem that at some point God separated a part of himself for reconcilation of man because he knew from the beginning we would need saving. Sorry I went so long. Hope this helps and if I am way off on this some one please correct me. Ken |
