2. Gospel of John - Prologue [Chapter 1] - Tim Mackie (The Bible Project)

[@joycemiller606]

I am sooooooo thankful for the childlike wonder and scholarly teaching of Tim Mackie. His sincere enthusiasm for Jesus is so refreshing.

[@longmelinda]

Yes, Tim is an excellent Teache; one in a million. I've followed Tim for YEARS. . . Yet, on this video Tim appears appears a bit 'tipsy' . Was this filmed after a celebratory event? I'm not mad, for we're all human. Bottomline, another good instruction. 5 🌟s.

The Trinity was reveled right there in the first lines of Genesis. It also explains the “Let Us make man in Our image.” That always stumped me.

[@waynemccuen8213]

Well, only that particular teaching is fallacious. God is speaking to His divine council. Job 38:4-7. Why would the Godhead have to converse about anything? They are in unison knowing everything.

[@G1stGBless]

@@waynemccuen8213 Job 38:4-7 in no way refutes the teachings of the trinity in John or the interpretation of the presence of the trinity in Genesis 1:1-5, 26. You have no frame of reference to accurately articulate how the triune Godhead interacts within Himself, only suppositions. God ‘spoke’ to Jesus multiple times in the Bible. Even famously withheld information from Jesus in Matt 24:36 and other many other verses denote their communication. You shouldn’t assume what you couldn’t possibly know, namely the ins and outs concerning the hypostatic communication in the triune God, during creation or any other period. Its highly presumptive. The Godheads internal dialogue is clearly far above our comprehension. God bless

[@cristohijodeDios]

@Robstrck there’s no trinity there’s God the Father and His only begotten Son (John 17:3) who the Father sent to save us from the Eternal death or 2nd death! The Spirit of the Holy is that the spirit that Jesus(Yah’shua) promised us on John 14!!! There is no 3 gods in one and there on one god with 3 heads!! That’s a diabolical doctrine foe people to continue in idolatry!! Please search scriptures bc that’s where find truth to set us free from false pastors or prophets!!! 🙏🏼🕎🙏🏼

[@2phreshkru]

@@G1stGBless later im John 1 it says the word was made flesh and through him all was made. Jesus is the expressed image of God. “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬ This means in Jesus is the fullness of God. God is spirit as the bible says there is one spirit. God is invisible and made seen through Jesus who sits on the one throne. Over and over the bible says God is one, even the demons know God is one and trembles. If you really want to understand try to look up some oneness videos or i dont mind sharing scriptures.

[@jeanettevorster9293]

The word of our Creator can draw us to his light if we know the difference between truth and lies. His breath (Spirit can lead us in his truths if we truely think about it. ). We have all been lied to, that is why we don't trust man anymore. But our Heavenly Fathers Word could lead us to His truths without misleading. All we have to do is pray and truely repent and ask Him to open our understanding to His truths. He needs to be part of our lives. From the beginning we knew there was and is a Creator. We cannot slaughter a poor lamb, we are the sinners and must come clean. We cannot place our sin on others. We ourselves must realise we are at fault. We must repent, We need to purify our thoughts and leave the past behind. The only way for true peace and good life. Is through death of our sins and believe and understand what the Bible stories are trying to teach us.

The Godhead: Act 7:55 -56 "55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God". The purpose of Godhead is to bring to pass the immortality and the eternal life of men.

[@TheLakingc]

I think the intro is the absolute grabber! Certainly got my attention and still does, but i also thought that it was "...the darkness knew it not...," which is true, too . The darkness does not (did not) comprehend The Light, nor could (can) it overcome it. It is like a code. So much depth. What i do not comprehend is why? How can anyone not see or want the Light? Why would someone choose darkness? It makes no sense ...unless there are children of the darkness...that idea is just spooky.

When Jesus says about Nathanael “in whom there is no deceit.” Is there any connection to Psalm 32:2?

[@richardsemione7012]

When Jesus said that word to Nathanael and told him where He saw him (under the fig tree), Nathanael responded and recognized Jesus as the Son of God. The only thing that would open his eyes to this revelation, would be the fact that he was praying and confessing his sins under that fig tree and him being familiar with Psalm 32. There were only two under the fig tree, Nathanael and God. Psalm 32 is the connection. Sorry it took so long to respond to your comment, I just read it.

[@richardsemione7012]

@@redpill109 You are certainly entitled to your view, however, in Gen 27-28, Jacob was not yet named Israel and he certainly was full of guile ( and had been a deceiver all his life, up until that point and beyond.) Also, for Nathanael to completely change his skeptical opinion of Jesus from, can anything good come out of Nazareth, to, you are the Son of God, the King of Israel; Jesus only said two things to him. He called him an Israelite in whom there was no guile and that He saw him under the fig tree. Nathanael made a complete 180 degree turn before Jesus mentioned the angels ascending and descending.

A lot of metaphors. What does the Greek term logos (G3056) mean in the first century CE. You said this was Hebrew but it is actually Greek. This is a combination of Gin 1:1, and Proverbs 8:23-31. You are following the traditional interpretation, try doing something different. "In the beginning was the logos, and the logos was moving towards God, and the logos was divine". No article on the second theos. The logos is equated with wisdom (H2452) a feminine character. You are not doing a very good Rembrandt when you do not tell the whole story, paint the whole picture.

The Word is an 'it' not a 'he'. word - logos, is many things but not a person. Jesus and the apostles were not trinitarians - if they were there would be some, if not a lot, of discussion recorded in Scripture as much if not more than the division over the circumcision debate.

[@mokmafis]

If you wanna know the truth, just ask the BIBLE. We cannot construct Or draw our own perspecrive and teach the people what we think about. Just accept what is in the Bible THE BIBLE SAYS THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD. As u said Jesus and God and spirit are distinct from one another! Yes u got IT right. You are reading correctly.. so then Jesus “sent” by God and came to earth to make Us known the truth JOHN 17:1-3 the true God is in heaven and HE IS THE MOST powerful one that cannot be human himself. Yes you are right- they, three are very distinct in many ways.

[@ezer0923]

We cannot as well just get a verse and pummel it to death disregarding other verses and chapters from the same book :) The very first verse cements and establishes the deity of Jesus. No other could have the nature of deity but "Theon" describes the nature of the Lord Jesus And 1:18 explicitly states that no one has seen God (the Father) except God (Jesus) And in Hebrews 1:8 the Father called the Son "THEOS"

[@cristohijodeDios]

Jay no 3 gods in one no one god with 3 heads!!! Just believe John 17:3 and that jesus promised to be with us thhru His Holy Spirit the Spirit that He also Has with His Father. Simple. The Spirit is no a distinct person is the ruach the way they communicate with us. Why fall into idolatry of having distinct gods besides what Jesus told us. His Father is the only God and Jesus his Son. Even at the end Jesus his beloved Son will submit all to His Father INCLUDING Himself!!! There’s no 3rd god!!!

[@imageinkdesign]

Very thoughtful & appreciative view of grammatical structures and important often missed cultural context ... However, Jesus did say, the Father is greater than I am. (And knows the timing of things I do not) -so although granting him the power to forgive sins and raise the dead, and he did ‘embody the very spirit and essence of his Father, they are not a ‘trinity’. Scholars in their enthusiasm to clearly explain a few difficult texts, and give satisfaction to the human philosophical worldview, borrowed the common pagan structure of a triad. Tens of thousands of times God uses a singular personal pronoun to describe Himself. His Spirit, is His Spirit...not a third mysterious being (nameless)... and at critical times unmentioned. Stressing how we are made in His image, and he establishes a similar family structure here on earth. We can easily relate to the Father - Son relationship the depth and meaning of such a great sacrifice I can not even conceive of ontological soup, or the suicide of God... that’s just nutty.
