THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD - PART 380

Logos = the Word = Wisdom

In John 1:1-18, we learn that JESUS is His given name. We also understand incarnate as being the Word or Wisdom of God. In the above passage, John identifies JESUS as the Logos which became incarnate. These scriptural references appear only at the beginning of John. The term Logos that refers to JESUS being the Word and Wisdom is used only in two other Bible passages: I John 1:1 and Revelations 19:13.

The statement that the Logos or the Word Wisdom existed "in the beginning" asserts that as Logos the Word and Wisdom was an eternal being like God. But this is an incorrect interpretation. So is it also a misinterpretation when the Church fathers dating back to 300/400 AD say that *because the Logos was with God" they can assert the distinction of JESUS from God.

But read these verses again. The scripture does not say this. Rather, the scripture declares that the Logos, the Word and Wisdom was God. Further, the statement that the Logos "was God" restates the unity of Jesus with God, thus re-stating His divinity. Yes, the Logos was with God and the Logos was God. The Logos here being the Word and Wisdom of God would of course be with God. Where else would one expect God’s own Word and wisdom to be?

Even as your word and wisdom is with you. By suggesting otherwise, religion is hammering upon their own anvil and handling the Word of God deceitfully.

Now John reveals that the Logos / Word / Wisdom of God was veiled in flesh and the appearance of the Logos / Word / Wisdom was as a man. The life within the man being the life SEED of the Holy Ghost now conceived into the womb of a surrogate mother. Whereupon the child who was the SEED of the Holy Spirit was to be veiled in sin prone flesh!

The child's given name was JESUS - Immanuel - God with us! (Matthew 1:21-23)

Therefore, this explains why we call on the name of JESUS. God with us in whom dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. In whom dwells the Logos / Word/ Wisdom of God. Yes, the same God who made the world arrives into His created world.

"He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own and His own received Him not." (John 1:1-18)

The inhabitants of earth still unaware that God was in their midst! Why? Because He came in fashion in appearance as one of Abraham's natural offspring. However, inside that natural prone to sin flesh body did dwell the SEED life of the humanity of God. Indeed, God Himself as a Son. The SEED containing the life blood and bones framing the child of the Holy Ghost.

This explains why not one bone of His body was broken on the cross. For the bones and blood were contained in the SEED of God’s Spirit, neither of which had sinned. Only the flesh was more marred than any other, for upon JESUS' sinless, yet prone to sin body was laid all of our sin, so that we who believe and receive should through JESUS' death have all sinful accusations dismissed.

For JESUS was GOD manifest offering to man redemption. (I Timothy 3:16)

Therefore, JESUS was man but JESUS was also the Logos -- the Word / Wisdom of God Himself! For it is written that JESUS is the Word and Wisdom of God. If JESUS, as presented by the so-called church fathers was another distinct and separate person of the Godhead, then God would have to be apart from His own Word and Wisdom!

For further clarification, please  note the following. It was after the first Council of Nicaea in 325 AD and the council of Chalcedon in 451 AD, that the Logos and a second person of the trinity were introduced and adopted by man-made religion. But it was not so from the beginning!

"In the beginning, God." (Genesis 1:1)

And this same God said what He meant to say. "I am the Lord thy God, and beside Me, there is no Saviour."

So receive the LOGOS JESUS who is and was and is to come the ALMIGHTY into your heart today. Be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins so that ye too can be filled with the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:37-42)

Stand firm in the gospel of Jesus Christ, letting the Word of God be the Word of God! Peace be to all those who are proud to stand in His congregation as JESUS PEOPLE!

Stand in the offering plate.
