AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 1:14 ¶ And the Word (Christ) became flesh, and lived among us; and we [actually] saw His glory, glory as belongs to the [One and] only begotten Son of the Father, [the Son who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, who is] full of grace and truth (absolutely free of deception). [Is 40:5] |
Subject: and the word was God |
Bible Note: Norrie it is a great explanation but it falls short. Unlike the Trinity a drop of water can not exist in all three states at the same time as the Trinity does. In Mark 1:8-11 we see Jesus, the Holy Spirit descending like a dove, and The Father’s voice saying “this is my Son in whom I am well pleased. Trying to explain the infinite to a finite mind of man is impossible. All our explanations fall short of the glory of God. We have to believe and accept by faith. |
