Bible Question:
Greatings Tim, thanks for your time. Yes I am muslim. I am right now not in agreement that Jesus is God, maybe you could clarify: John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Okay, then let me ask about this verse. If the "Word" is Jesus, then is this the translation: John 1:1 In the beginning was the Jesus, and the Jesus was with God, and the Jesus was God. How can Jesus be WITH God, if he IS God? God was with God? |
Bible Answer: This is a great explanation of the Trinity of God. Another is water, water can be liquid, solid or vapor but it's still water. I hope you can understand this. There is one God, a trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Heart of God is the Father; the face of the Father is unveiled by the Son; the Voice of God is heard thru the Holy Spirit;--- the Hand of God is laid open through the Church. You can maybe better understand the concept of trinity is if you can understand that you are a trinity. You are a spirit, you have a soul (mind, will and emotions) and you live in a body. It's your spirit that gets reborn when you accept Jesus but you still live in the same body and think the same. Accd to Rom 12:2 we renew our minds to line up w/the spirit. We have to bring our flesh into subjection too, then we have our soul wanting to go one way and our spirit another. I hope I'm not confusing you, but it's our spirits that live forever, either w/God or w/o Him. |
