Subject: IS TONGUES FOR TODAY? |
Bible Note: Now the reason why I used that deffinition was because that was the Greek/Hebrew meaning of the word "Word". But we can use your deffinition and get the same meaning. Though our conversations I have come to realize that the main difference between Trinitarianism and Oneness is that Trinitarian believes that there were three way back when whereas Oneness believes there was only one then when the New Testament came along that one was manifested three ways. Now if we were to take your deffinition of the Word and say that the Word is Jesus then tell me how can Jesus exist if He were the only BEGOTTEN son of God meaning that He was BORN of God? Jesus could not have possibly existed until the New Testament when He was born. Allow me to explain this belief. I am going to pose this as a question because I myself have not done personal study on this like I should have and because of this conversation it has earged me to do so. Could it be that the Word that John was talking about be the name Jesus? Cause think about it if it were Jesus that is the name of God. In the begining it was God. Then later in the chapter we see where this Name was given flesh werein it could reveal the true image of God. Now like I said it is just a question. My grandfather was Trinitarian until he studied this chapter and now he believes in the Oneness of God. I will have a talk with him and others as well as doing my own personal research on this then I will come back to you with a deffinite answer but right now I am just posing a question. |
