The Surprising Nature of John's Gospel

Some critics believe the deity of Christ was a concept invented years after Jesus at the Council of Nicaea. But the gospel of John says otherwise, claiming that Jesus was God from the very beginning-even before God created Earth. And AUTHENTIC host Shawn Boonstra says John talks about everything in a way no other gospel writer does.
This is the final part in a five-episode series called "The Four Witnesses."

I love the book of John. He's my favorite apostle.

The Bible first focusses indirectly and then directly on the coming Savior of the world. No other religion that I know of has a god or gods that even come close to who our Savior is. To me , the Bible is the only source of truth that reveals where we came from and where we are headed to.

I think I said this previously but when I did my own harmony of the gospels study, a great deal of John's account does mesh with the other three. He just focuses a lot on Jesus' trips in and out of Jerusalem. I like the way you've covered "the Word" in relation to the Greek thinking of the time. When I heard John 1:1-4 for the first time as a child, I couldn't wrap my head around the idea of words becoming reality. But since we live and breathe and have our being in the Lord, we could almost say humanity is a figment of His imagination. Though I am not trying to appear gnostic when I say that. We exist by His good pleasure. That He would come down so we can continue to exist is wonderful!

I’m wondering about the act of blasphemy they accused Jesus of, had they ever accused anyone else of the same blasphemy? Thanks in advance for response. Not really sure why I’m wondering this, it just came to mind

Mainly because no-one has ever called himself the Lord nor referred God to his Father except Jesus Christ, they felt He was praising Himself. Earlier prophets never said those words

Good talk. I think we have to be very careful with interpreting the issue of "man" when it comes from Adam. Adam is not a human at the beginning of the universe. Adam is the creator at zero. Not a human. Jesus, likewise, is NOT a human being but a "man" meaning he has a certain physical nature because he is the creative principle. It states categorically in John that Jesus Christ is our anointing (Messiah). The word messiah means anointing. Not "human being."
