ArchivedJesuss Deity... :: To OmegaTo Omega John 1:10 is talking about Jesus, the Son of the Creator. The Scriptures recognized solely ONE Creator ... this ONE Creator is YAHWEH, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob; the GOD & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. [Mal 2:10]; YAHWEH created all things alone! [Isa 44:24] What the biased KJV translators did was to translate the Greek word ’dia’ as ‘by’ in v.10. They did the same thing in Col 1:16, Eph 3:9, and Heb 1:2; hence to foist their doctrine/leaven that a ‘God the Son’ made all things. However this is not what the Scriptures teach. The Greek word ’dia’ can also be translated ... ‘because of’ i.e. (Mat 27:19) … for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. (John 7:43) So there was a division among the people because of him. (John 12:30) Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. It can also be translated ‘for’ e.g. in Mark 2:27 you do not read that … The sabbath was made by man, and not man by the sabbath: but rather … The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Hence you are not given the impression that somehow ‘man made the sabbath’! And around 88 times ’dia’ is translated ‘through’. Hence, John 1:10 need not to be translated ‘by’ but rather THROUGH! Therefore, GOD Almighty, the Father, made all things with His Son in mind ... with His Son in view. Hence the Son was in the world, and the world was made actually by GOD the Father THROUGH the Son [i.e. in view of the Son], and the world knew the Son not. This verse is definitely NOT saying that Jesus the Messiah made all things! The Scriptures teach no such thing. Both Christ [Mark 10:6, 13:19] and the apostles [Acts 4:24, 14:15, 17:24 cp. Matt 11:25, Luke 10:24] taught that GOD, the Father, namely YAHWEH; is the sole Creator of all things. In fact, in NO Jewish writings (I am open to be corrected) will you find any concept that the Messiah is the Creator or Maker of all things. In fact, let me quote from the Talmud that also gives the gist of what I am saying ...
No doubt, Jesus is the ultimate manifestation of Almighty GOD; through him, GOD is revealed and made known. However, Jesus is NOT God Himself, rather, he is a manifestation or representation (see Heb 1:3 the exact representation of His nature) of the ONE GOD. A manifestation is NOT the very thing it is manifesting; neither is a representation the very thing that it represents! BTW, since knowledge has increased, are you aware of the latest discoveries concerning 1 Tim 3:16! Even way back in the 17th century, Isaac Newton wrote a book called ’Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture’, where he traced how two verses as we know them today (that is, how they read today) got into the Received Text. One verse is the notorious 1 John 5:7, guess what the other verse is?? Huh! Scripture please!! The Bible teaches no such that. GOD is totally distinct from His own creations. The Creator is totally distinct from the creation and will forever so be. Remember, what he warned ...
It was the Greek/Roman pagans who taught (long before the birth of Christ) the doctrines of god-men; the Bible refutes such teaching. Jesus is NOT the body of GOD; he is the Son of GOD! In HIM, GOD is revealed and manifested. Also, Jesus is NOT a body! How can you say such a demeaning thing? Jesus is a human being. Jesus is NOT an ‘it’. He’s a ‘he’. He is a man. He is not a body! He is a ‘person’. He has a body but he is NOT a body. In HIM, GOD is revealed and manifested. Omega, in my previous post, I showed how there are 4 Hebrew words translated ‘lord’ in the KJV... YAHWEH, Adonai, adon, adoni. In the Greek text however only one Greek word is used for all 4; that is ‘kurios’. Hence for example :-
Of a truth it takes the holy spirit of GOD to reveal in what sense, Jesus the Messiah is ‘lord/kurios’. (1 Cor 12:3) … and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
How can Jesus know all things? How about an omniscient GOD revealing ‘all things’ to him! It’s that simple. GOD showed Jesus things. He revealed things to Jesus. It was part of the job description of a prophet to ‘know things supernaturally’ (cp. the Pharisee’s comments [Luke 7:39] This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him. How did Elisha know what Gehazi had done? [2 Kings 5:25-27] GOD revealed it to him! How did Elisha know what the king of Israel said in his bedchamber? i.e. what he said in secret? [2 King 6:12] GOD revealed it to him! (See also Daniel 2:19, 22,28,47, Amos 3:7) (Amos 3:7) Surely Adonai YAHWEH will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Therefore, here comes Jesus ‘the Prophet Par Excellence’; the one who would speak the very words of GOD Himself in a way that no previous prophet had done [Deut 18:15,18-19, John 12:49-50]; it goes without saying that via the Son’s intimate relationship with his Father, that GOD will reveal many things to His Chosen One, even the intents of men’s hearts, etc. And by the way, ‘all things’ must be taken into context; Jesus was certainly NOT omniscient. For example, he didn’t know along with the heavenly holy angels, when the day of his coming/parousia would be! Neither did he know the times when GOD was to restore the kingdom to Israel! [Mark 13:32, Acts 1:6-7] If he had known he would have told his disciples! [(John 15:15) Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.] Jesus only knew what the Father had revealed and showed him. Hence, the scriptures clearly to NOT portray the Son as omniscient. |
