@raitasorin Maybe you are mixing up with Pharisees???

I am not Greek Orthodox, but I figured that the Patriarch of one of the oldest continuing churches, he might have some better insight as to the meaning of 1:1, as he is also fluent in Ancient Greek, Aramaic, Arabic, and Biblical Greek (just to name a few). If, as you state, that it means "devine," then you and I agree, since the meaning of devine is "Having the nature of or being a deity." You did not say "devine-like" so I'm taking you at your word. Thanks for the input...have a Blessed Day!

The Question, "The true meaning of John 1:1." His answer, "Logos is God."

[Grayhatt]

And why did you go with the pretext of 'knowing more about his church and get to know him' when clearly you went to only ask one question--as you stated at the very beginning. Ugh.

[Cascade47]

@Grayhatt I don't understand your first post at all. Secondly, we shot over an hour worth of video with many questions...but this is the one question and answer that we wanted to share. Please don't make sarcastic comments when you know not of what you speak.

No offense djbehemoth, but you are mistaken on several counts, most notably, John 1:1 is clearly not "poetry", and Jesus did not "always" deflect peoples' statements regarding his full Diety, in fact he often encouraged it. For instance, after Thomas "said to him, 'My Lord and my God' Jesus replied "Because you have seen me you have believed". The Gospel of John, from beginning to end, testifies to the Divine nature of Jesus.

Please JW's...go spill your idiocy somewhere else...rather than polemics, use thoughtful debate. Y'shua Messiach Adonai HaOlam!

{... καὶ-AND Θεὸς-GOD ἦν-WAS ὁ-THE Λόγος-LOGOS}. the part of John 1:1

Logos comes in the flesh.

He is known in english, as Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is the ONLY begotten, non-created, non-made, begotten Son of God, very God of very God, in the flesh.
