John 1:1 CORRECTING THE MISINTERPRETATION

MrVersatile48 said:
I tried to post this last week

John 1, Colossians 1 & Hebrews 1 make it crystal clear that Jesus is the Almighty Creator in human form

The Supremacy of Christ

15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Hebrews 1

The Son Superior to Angels

1In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
5For to which of the angels did God ever say,
"You are my Son;
today I have become your Father[a]"? Or again,
"I will be his Father,
and he will be my Son"[c]? 6And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,
"Let all God's angels worship him."[d] 7In speaking of the angels he says,
"He makes his angels winds,
his servants flames of fire."[e] 8But about the Son he says,
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever

God bless!

Ian...everything you have quoted fits perfectly with the Hebrew concept of the Memra....except that the Memra isn't God, but rather it is the creative word of God.

JG - I'm aware that I haven't answered your post yet but since I haven't seen any posts from you since unred typo made comment on your question to me, what do you think of it?

Cheers

I have not seen the post. Infact I have not been getting my e mail notifications. I just happen to be cruising by and noticed it grew. I will go back and read all the post and get back to you.
Thanks Jg

No problem JG - I'm happy to talk to the point any time - or should I say as time allows me. But please ask for clarification if you feel that anything said to this point is inadequate - and I will explain as I am able. Cheers.
