Scripture Index: John 4:24; 1:1; (Genesis 1:26); Genesis 1:1

All right take your bibles and turn to the gospel of John. The bible teaches that there is only one God. The bible teaches that this God was in Jesus Christ. The bible teaches that God was from the beginning. If God was from the beginning and if God is what the bible says he is, spirit. God is spirit John 4:24. Then God cannot be born. God cannot be born. The bible says God was in whom? Christ. That's a lot different. But the bible teaches that Jesus Christ was born. Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in a stable, laid in a manger. Jesus Christ was born. God cannot be born God is eternal.

Now of course the argument has always been in every commentary and among all the church groups denominationally speaking - basically the large church groups, the national council outfit especially - that Jesus Christ was coexisted with God, that Jesus Christ was with God in the beginning.

Now they teach this and use as their scripture that one in Genesis: Let us make man in our image and let them have dominion and so forth. Now this is no proof of Jesus as being back there because the us is simply used in the plural form to speak of the greatness of the the incident to which God related himself. Like the Queen of England, the Queen of England who is supposed to represent the British empire which is getting smaller and smaller.

But she, when she speaks for all the British Empire she says "we" the Queen of England. And she isn't 'we.' That's right! But you see it's in the plural she says, the Queen of England "us." This is the same sense grammatically and English wise that the King James men use when they say let us make man in our image after our likeness and so forth in Genesis.

So the first thing you must understand is that God is eternal. Jesus Christ was born. Now if you set this right then you'll have to work the word to fit in it. You don't have to work the Word has to fit in it. Let's put it that way. They have all read John 1:1 as follows: In the beginning was Jesus Christ this is what they've read and Jesus Christ was with God and Jesus Christ was God. That is not what it says it says. In the beginning was the word the word was with God and the word was God.

I will need a set of my foundational notes to teach this. Now the problem in John 1:1 is naturally who is the word or what is the word. Right? That's the problem. In Genesis 1:1 what does it say in the first line? In the beginning God, God, God. Now it does not say in the beginning God and Jesus Christ. It says in the beginning God. Only one God and that God was in the beginning and God is spirit and it is God who is the Word with a capital W, a capital O, a capital R, and a capital D.

The reason the word "word" - Now I also know that Jesus Christ is the Word, which we'll get to; so just don't go jumping yet. The reason God is the Word is because God is spirit and spirit cannot communicate with your brain cells with your mind with your reason. Everything has to stay in its category. Spirit to spirit things. The senses world can be known this way. You people just been in the classes learned all this recently. Word is communication - communication. Word means communication. God's communication to man is why the word "word" is used in the bible. The word logos. It's - it's this word logos. That is the Greek word translated word. And there are two elements in here that we really must notice. In the beginning was the Word - God. This agrees with Genesis 1:1 and many other places. And the word was with God. Now here is now our first problem: and God was with God is how you - you would say. No no no no! There are only two basic manifestations in the senses world of God: One the written Word. Here this written word (bible). Now you know what I mean? Not the King James but the Word when it's rightly divided, so on and so forth. This written word is as much God as God is God. It's just as genuine as God. This written word is God's manifestation of himself in the revealed world because God is spirit. For God to manifest himself in the senses world, in writing, so that it could be understood, it had to be in form of words W-O-R-D-S. This is why the bible is referred to as The Word. Number one.

Had we placed before in the in that phrase before the word
word - revealed it would make sense and be biblically accurate. It would read then as follows: In the beginning was the word God and the revealed word was with who? God....
