Subject: Quest for Truth |
Bible Note: "John 14:6 teaches that Jesus is the truth. It does not teach that truth is Jesus." Jesus is the truth is not a mathematical equation, "Jesus equals the truth." It is a statement. Jesus is the subject; truth is the predicate nominative. Stylistically, one could put the predicate first, and it would not change the meaning of the statement. But if one changed the parts of speach of the terms, the statement would no longer have the same meaning. If the subject is "child" and the predicate is "noisy," the meaning would not be the same if we reversed the parts of speech. The same is true with John 14:6. Truth (subject) is Jesus (predicate). This is not what the verse is saying. |
