The Mystery of John 1:1 – Part 1

January 5, 2017

I find that this verse has always been one that has been debated as pointer to the Triuneness of God.

I have even spoken with someone who believed it proved the Jesus was a “lesser god” because of the Greek usage of the word theos (G2316 God: Of uncertain affinity; a deity, especially (with ὁ (G3588)) the supreme Divinity).

 

But what did this word truly mean in the Greek culture of that day?

 

Why would it be open to misinterpretation?

 

These are some of the questions that I have pondered, but I realize that God has always, if nothing else, been perfect, and He is far more than perfect!

 

This will be a big verse to tackle especially for the amount of information contained in it.
