Tell us of the Word that WAS with God and WAS God
read the context
john 1.1-41 εν αρχη ην ο λογος και ο λογος ην προς τον θεον και θεος ην ο λογος
2 ουτος ην εν αρχη προς τον θεον
3 παντα δι αυτου εγενετο και χωρις αυτου εγενετο ουδε εν ο γεγονεν
4 εν αυτω ζωη ην και η ζωη ην το φως των ανθρωπων
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
14 και ο λογος σαρξ εγενετο και εσκηνωσεν εν ημιν και εθεασαμεθα την δοξαν αυτου δοξαν ως μονογενους παρα πατρος πληρης χαριτος και αληθειας
15 ιωαννης μαρτυρει περι αυτου και κεκραγεν λεγων ουτος ην ον ειπον ο οπισω μου ερχομενος εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν οτι πρωτος μου ην
16 και εκ του πληρωματος αυτου ημεις παντες ελαβομεν και χαριν αντι χαριτος
17 οτι ο νομος δια μωσεως εδοθη η χαρις και η αληθεια δια ιησου χριστου εγενετο
18 θεον ουδεις εωρακεν πωποτε ο μονογενης υιος ο ων εις τον κολπον του πατρος εκεινος εξηγησατο
in verse 3 and 4 it says “HIM”
the word HIM (auto in greek) clearly explains that this “WORD” is not just a word that comes out from your mouth. it is a person!a person means an individual. verse 14 and 18 identified this WORD in john 1.1, HE is the SON OF GOD! begotten son! monogenes huios in greek!
read well your bible and study hard nick.
for those who believe that the WORD is the HS, you can not read your opinion and i am 100% sure for that!
john did not say that the WORD is the HS but the son of GOD! monogenes huios!
Jammin;Why does Jesus call Wisdom her?
Luke 7:35
King James Version (KJV)35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
Since Wisdom has children is not the Word of God his Son?
luke 7.35 is not the topic.stick to the topic.
Jammin;You make yourself look like a fool when you answer without thinking it through: which is why we are to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.
I did answer what you declared by pointing out Wisdom is both a her and a mother and likewise the Word is both a him and a son.
If you really do not have any answer but that foolishness you gushed forth then choose to remain silent; even as the proverb says; for then you will appear wise.

Christ Jesus.
The Word that was with God, the anointing.
And who died on a tree for us?Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 06 2012,19:37) Hi MB,
Yes Jesus CHRIST was crucified
And did the “spirit of the anointing” die on a tree?Hi MB,
Of course the Spirit of life cannot die but abides with those reborn who do
who give up their own spirit as he did on calvary.Hi MB,
The unity between a man and the Spirit of God is designed to be permanent.
Sons of God, like Jesus are led by the Spirit of God.
God's Spirit will wake the adopted sons and take them to meet the Lord JesusQuote (Nick Hassan @ May 07 2012,20:22) Hi MB,

The subject of verses 14 and 15 is “The Word”. Knowing this, we can say:

3. The Word had the glory of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
4. The Word is the one about whom John testified, saying, “This was he of whom I said,

Hi Mike,1. The Word(HolySpirit in Jesus) became flesh.

Ed J
Yes ED.
Ed,I am glad to learn that you no longer feel the need to invent a new subject into verses 14 and 15 like you used to do. (I remember how you used to claim that part of the passage was about the Holy Spirit, and the other part was about Jesus.)
So now that you have come to the correct understanding that the whole passage is about the same person/thing/subject, and Nick also agrees, let the unraveling begin:
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word (Holy Spirit in Jesus), and the Word (Holy Spirit in Jesus) was with God………….Since you say the Word who became flesh was the Holy Spirit in Jesus, then it stands to reason that the Word had to have been the Holy Spirit in Jesus before the Holy Spirit in Jesus BECAME flesh, right? Or will you now resort to adding the word “IN” into the verse to fulfill your doctrine?
16 From the fullness of his grace (the grace of the Holy Spirit in Jesus) we have all received one blessing after another. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ (the Holy Spirit in Jesus).
Are these also true to your understanding, Ed? Nick?
(Btw, I appreciate Ed actually ADDRESSING my post, while Nick continues to post blather and Frank continues to “own me” by running away from the point altogether. Kudos to you, Ed.)
Hi Mike,John 1:1-14 is about the HolySpirit becoming flesh in Jesus.
John 1:15- is about Jesus being the Christ because of this.God bless
Ed J (Joshua 22:34)
http://www.holycitybiblecode.orgQuote (mikeboll64 @ May 07 2012,05:44) Then “the Holy Spirit in Jesus” cannot possibly be what/who BECAME flesh, right? For “the Holy Spirit in Jesus” to BECOME flesh, “the Holy Spirit in Jesus” must have been existing as something OTHER THAN flesh before it/he BECAME flesh.
So, was “the Holy Spirit in Jesus“ existing as something else before it/he became flesh?
Hi Mike,That is what John 1:14 is about.

The Word was made flesh.No relationship between Jesus and the Word till the Jordan and now Jesus Christ is the Word.
Nick,Yahshua did not have any relationship with Father Yahweh's inspired prophetic word until he was immersed by Yahchanan in the Jordan? Not in accordance with Scripture clearly teaches!
FrankThe Word of God is more than just his inspired prophetic word as prophecy is but one gift of the Spirit and John teaches us all things were created by it.
kerwin,The word “prophetic” is used in Scripture in connection with Father Yahweh's word as a whole. Your not under the erroneous impression that that word 'prophecy' only has to do with future events are you? When I say “Father Yahweh's inspired prophetic word”, I am speaking of Father Yahweh's word as a whole and not specifically giving reference to Scriptures that foretell of future events.
Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of Yahweh your Mighty One that I give you (Deuteronomy 4:2).
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, Yahweh will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, Yahweh will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the set apart city, which are described in this book (Revelation (Revelation 22:18-19).

Nick,I agree that Jesus was given the spiritual gifts of prophecy and wondrous powers when he became a priest at the Jordon.
Despite that I believe had previously been given the gift of the new man that is created like God in true righteousness and holiness previous to that.
One Spirit; many gifts.
Hi KW,
Does obedience to the law cause him to receive the gift of a new man?
The new man is BY transformation of the Spirit.
That happened at the jordanQuote (Nick Hassan @ May 07 2012,09:03) Hi T,

Nick;We are given the gift of the new man by the Spirit when baptized into Jesus. The evidence shows that Jesus had the new man previously to the Jordan River.
Jesus was made a priest at the Jordon; which is necessary for righteousness to be fulfilled.
Hi KW,
Was Jesus anointed as a priest at the Jordan?
Unsure if Hebrews 2-9 says that but possibly.He entered the holy of holies through the veil of his flesh.
Hi KW,
Evidence?
Do we not follow him TO the Jordan?Certainly he did not need to be washed because he was already an overcomer.
Quote (kerwin @ May 07 2012,09:30) Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ May 06 2012,00:23) Many believe that the name Yahshua (Yeshua, Jesus) is the name above every other name. Many point out the following passages of Scripture to prove that the name Yahshua (Yeshua, Jesus) is above every other name. Philippians 2:9-11 – Wherefore Yahweh also has highly exalted him (Yahshua [Yeshua, Jesus]), and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Yahshua every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
And [that] every tongue should confess that Yahshua Messiah [is] Master, to the esteem of Yahweh the Father.
Ephesians 1:17-23 – That the Almighty One of our Master Yahshua Messiah, the Father of esteem, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the esteem of His inheritance in the saints,
And what [is] the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power,
Which He did work in Messiah, when He raised him from the dead, and set [him] at His own right hand in the heavenly [places],
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
And has put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the assembly,
Which is his body, the fulness of Him that fills all in all.
I would like you to note that Father Yahweh has a Name Himself and He did give His son Yahshua his name. So, that with this understanding in agreement with the entire context of Scripture you can see that our Heavenly Father and Creator's Name is above all other names, even above the name of His son since He is the one Who gave him his name. Note also that the name Yahshua means 'Yahweh Is Redeemer'.
When we use this name Yahshua we are actually giving esteem to Father Yahweh by giving reverence to His Name as opposed to giving reverse to the name of His son Yahshua. Not that the name Yahshua should not also be reverenced, but to give our Heavenly Father and Creator's Name the greater etseem as our Supreme Redeemer as also did His son (cf. Philippians 2:11). It was his Father Yahweh who raised him from the dead!
“… Yahweh raised him from the dead: …”
Romans 10:10 – “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto redemption.”
********************
Yahchanan Chapter Twelve
Then Yahshua six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, [that was] very costly, and anointed the feet of Yahshua, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Kepha's [son], which should betray him, “Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?” This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and saw what was put therein. Then said Yahshua, Let her alone: against the day of my burying has she done this. For the poor are always with you; but me, I will not always be here. Many individuals among those who praise Yahweh with outstreched hands therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Yahshuas' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
But the chief priests consulted with each other on how thaty might also put Lazarus to death; Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed what Yahshua taught. The next day many people that had came to Yerusalem to observe the feast, heard that Yahshua was also coming to Yerusalem to observe the feast.
These people took branches of palm trees, and went ahead to meet him, and they cried out, “Hosanna: Blessed [is] the King of Israel that comes in the Name Yahweh. And Yahshua, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, your King comes, sitting on an ass's colt. His disciples didn't understand what he was saying at first: but when Yahshua was given esteem, they remembered that these things were written of him, and [that] they had done these things to him. The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. For this cause the people also met him, for they heard that he had done this miracle.
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how he divises anything from Scripture? Look! It seems the whole world is listening to what he is teaching! And
There were certain Greeks among the people that came up to worship at the feast: They came to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, Where can we see this man named Yahshua?” Philip told Andrew and they went and told Yashua that these men were looking for him.
Yahshua answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of Man should be given esteem. For a surety, I say to you,
'Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit. He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
If any man wants to serve me, then come; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man wants to serve me, my Father shall show you honor.
Now I am very troubled; and what should I say? 'Father, redeem me from this time of trouble!” But for this whay You sent me at this time.
Father, give Your Name Esteem. Then there came a voice from heaven …
“I have both eeteemed My Name, and will give it esteem again.” The people therefore, that stood by, and heard this, said that it thundered: others said, “A heavenly messenger spoke to him. “
Yahshua answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.”
The people answered him, “We have heard out of the law that Messiah abideth for ever: And what say you? The Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?”
Then Yahshua said, “Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knows not where he goes. While you have light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. “
These things spoke Yahshua, and departed, and did hide himself from them. But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: That the saying of Isayah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, “Father Yahweh, who has believed our report? and to who has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?”
They could not believe, because Isayah also said, “He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with [their] eyes, nor understand with [their] heart, and be converted, so that He might heal them.”
These things said Isayah, when he saw him being esteemed, and spoke of Him. Nevertheless among the chief rule
rs also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [him], lest they should be put out of the synagogue: For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of Yahweh.Yahshua cried and said, “He that believes me, believes not me, but on Him that sent me. And he that see me sees Him that sent me. I came as a light to the world, that whosoever believes me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to reddeem the world. He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that will judge him! The word that I have spoken, these are the words that will judge him in the end. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that His commandment is life everlasting: whatever the Father says to me, that is what I speak.”
The following passages of Scripture show that Father Yahweh is above His son Yahshua. So if Father Yahweh is above His son Yahshua, certainly His Name is above the name that He gave to His son.
Yahchanan [John] 14:28 – You have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
Mat 10:24 The student is not above [his] teacher, nor the servant above his master.
Yahshua, A Humble Sevant of Father Yahweh
Philippians 2:7 – “… taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.”
Mattithyah [Matthew] 21:42 – Yahshua said unto them, Did you never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Yahweh's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
1 Corinthians 11:3 – But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Messiah; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Messiah [is] Yahweh.
Acts 4:10-12 – Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Yahshua the Messiah of Nazareth, whom you executed, whom Yahweh raised from the dead, [even] by him dose this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there redemption in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be redeemed.
Since the name “Yahshua” means “Yahweh Is Redeemer”, saying “Yahshua” still calls upon (evokes) the name of Yahweh.

Frank,If I understand this correctly; then is a bunch of nonsense; as you should know; using the Hebrew Yahshua instead of the equally valid Greek Jesus. There are many Yahshua's in Scripture. Do they all have the name that is higher than every other name?
kerwin,No, You are not understanding correctly. Yes, everyone that is named Yahshua (The closest English transliteration/transcription of this name used in most translations is 'Joshua'.) do all have the name that is above every name that is named, since the name Yahshua means 'Yahweh is Redeemer'. This Hebrew name clearly signifies Father Yahweh as our Supreme Redeemer. FYI, the Hebrew name Isayah also means and signifies 'Yahweh is Redeemer'. It is the message in the name that is important. Father Yahweh redeems mankind THROUGH (BY WAY OF) His son Yahshua. Yahshua is not LITERALLY our redeemer, it is his and our Father Yahweh Who is our Supreme Redeemer. There is only but one Supreme Redeemer and that is Father Yahweh and Yahshua directed all esteem to his and our Father Yahweh as our Supreme Redeemer. Yahshua Messiah is referred to as our redeemer simply because his and our Father Yahweh gave him, ALL authority (power) in heaven and in the earth and this ALL authority (power) most certainly included the authority (power) to redeem mankind from sin and death.
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority [power] on earth to forgive sins… (Mattithyah [Matthew] 9:6).
As to your implying “… the equally valid Greek Jesus.”, I not not believe that the name “Jesus” is “equally valid” as you suggest, since it is completely void of the Name of our Heavenly Father and Creator and this most was not the Messiah's GIVEN NAME and certainly was not the name that Father Yahweh instructed to be given to His son and His promised Anointed One. BTW, the name 'Jesus' is a Latino name and not a Greek or Hebrew name.
Let me clearly state to all of you and to all the people of Ysryl that he was healed by the powerful name of Yahshua Messiah the Nazarene, the man you executed but whom Yahweh raised from the dead. This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the head of the corner. Neither is there redemption in any other: or there is no other name under heaven GIVEN among men, by which we MUST be redeemed. When they saw the courage of Kepha and Yahchanan and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Yahshua. But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then conferred together. “What are we going to do with these men?” they asked. “Everybody living in Yerusalem knows they have done an outstanding miracle, and we cannot deny it. But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn these men to speak no longer to anyone in this name.” Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Yahshua. But Kepha and Yahchanan replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in Yahweh's sight to obey you rather than Yahweh. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people were praising Yahweh for what had happened. For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old. On their release, Kepha and Yahchanan went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. When they heard this, they raised their voices together in communion to Yahweh. “Sovereign Yahweh,” they said, “You made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them. You spoke by the Set Apart Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father Dawid: “'Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against Yahweh and against his Anointed One.' Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the nations and the people of Ysryl in this city to conspire against Your set apart servant Yahshua, whom You anointed. They did what Your power and will had decided beforehand should happen. Now, Yahweh, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak Your word with great boldness. Stretch out Your hand [power] to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of Your set apart servant Yahshua.” After they communed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Set Apart Spirit and spoke the word of Yahweh boldly. All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power [authority] the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Master Yahshua, and much favor was upon them all. There
were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need. (Acts 4:10-35).Yahshua said unto him, I am the WAY, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me (Yahchanan [John] 14:6).
