It's a really simple question . . .
Is the Word in John 1:1 a true god or a false god?
Is the Word in John 1:1 a true god or a false god?
I say that it refers to the true God, because of the context. If we look ahead to John 1:14, we read:
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” (Joh 1:14 NKJV)
That verse wouldn't be true of a false god.
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” (Joh 1:14 NKJV)
That verse wouldn't be true of a false god.
I'm looking at the part of the context that you quoted, and it leads me straight to the word begotten. I've always wondered why God's inspired Bible used that specific word in light of how the dictionary defines that particular word.
Can you help me out on that?
