To make it shorter for you to see who or what is the "Word" let we go directly to John 1:14. Tell me now,if the "Word" don't become flesh and is Jesus Christ.
Thanks for the reply. The word does not become flesh it creates flesh
To make it really short God is not a man as us .and neither is there any fleshly infallible interpreter set between mankind seen and God not seen 9(daysman) We walk by the unseen eternal not that seen the corrupted temporal
My
(addition) to make a point
Job 9: 32-33 For
he is not a
man, as
I am, that I should answer
him, and we should come together in judgment.
Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay
his hand upon us
both. (Both God and man)
In John 1 it does not say the
Word became flesh or the
Word was
made into
flesh. But the spiritual word made as the things seen are used to help understand God not seen, by parables, using the temporal flesh as a shadow to represent the unseen glory of God according to the 20/20 prescription needed to rightly divide the parables below
2 Corinthians 4:17:18 For our light affliction, which
is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of
glory; While we look not at the
things which are seen, but at
the things which are not seen: for the things which are
seen are
temporal;
(no power) but the things which are not
seen are
eternal.
(Power)
John 1:14 And the
Word was made
flesh,
(let there be and it was good "the testimony of faith" ) and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his
glory, the
glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth.
No
glorying in the
flesh The glory of God today is invisible. It will be revealed as Light in the the new heavens and earth
The word was full of grace and truth And not full the corrupted flesh and blood .
Remember in John 6 Jesus said of his own flesh it profits for zero and that which can profit is the unseen eternal His word it is spirit and life giving (let there be and it was good) By that faith that works in us (Philippians 2:12 ) we can walk or understand .jesu would never glory in his dying powerless flesh.
It was because of the non believing orthodox Jewish elders in 1 Samael 8. They had became jealous in false pride of all the surrounding pagan nations according to there
religious law . "Out of sight. . out of mind" God calls them fools . They having no faith demanded of Samuel to give them a King a hierarchy of venerable men that lord it over the understanding of the non venerable (human government) . God gave them over to do that which they should not of sought after to begin with . . . . up until the time of reformation (1st century Hebrew 9)
God revealed to the apostle Samuel in 1 Samuel 8 .Its not you they are rejecting as King but me as King from reining over them by faith the unseen eternal
