Donna, there are some very good commentaries out there, both by the printed page & the Web. I would suggest using the Web, as you can get a number of commentaries to refer to, plus other tools (such as Lexicons, Interlinear, etc.) to help you in the study of the Word. The one I would suggest is: Bible Hub. The Site might be a little difficult to properly navigate initially because of its many features, but there are numerous commentators/expositors who have shared much light on the Word. And it's free.

Comments about John 1 v 12 KJV . This v 12 is trying to tell us something in the spirit."Even them that believe on his Name " like in Namesake a grandson ( Gods GRANSONS which are spirits )Who is he speaking of not BORN of BLOOD, nor of the will of MAN , nor of the will of FLESH ( CARNALLALITY SATANS SEAT ) He is not speaking of US, this is about the Namesake the H.G. THAT HAS TO BE BORN in us SINNERS, Its the H.G that comes in his NAME,Jesus said the Father wd send the H.G in MY NAME via his seed the WORD. Several times Jesus said blessed is he that comes in the NAME of the LORD THATS THE H.G. that comes in his Name. Its the H.G. that is not born of flesh nor blood , nor of the will of man. he is not a flesh and blood being but a spritual being that has to be born in US. Its the H.G. that can only be born by the will of God,not by the WILL OF ANY MAN BUT ONLY BY THE WILL OF GOD. As Jesus said that which is born of the spirit is spirit thats the H.G. The only way we can become the Sons of God is by the BIRTH OF CHRIST IN US SINNERS WHICH IS THE BIRTH OF THE H.G. THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. When John mentions NAME that rings a bell .Jesus said the FATHER ( the one who sows that good seed jesus ) will send the H.G IN MY NAME.Even in the natural we all know that whosoever sows the seed is the father of the child his Name (sake) the H.G. Thats y he came, to make mankind righteous via a good seed the word the contents of the new covenant, That Book . I will know them ALL from the least to the greatest and i will put my WORDS IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS ETC.Being bornagain of an incorruptible seed etc even by the Words of God.The blood is also the Word as Jesus was the WORD MADE FLESH AND BLOOD,Thats y he says you are made clean by the Word i have spoken unto you.When he said Blessed are them that come in the name of the lord thats them that have the H.G. his name sake the gransons,the children of Promise.Whosever receives one such Child in my NAME receives Me

Your word is you, we can only know you by your word, God is God because He is the God of His word, He said Heaven and earth will pass away but none of His word will go without fulfillment. His is what make Him the God. I honour my word more than my name..............

 

Bright's comment on 2015-07-11 14:06:31:

Jesus is God himself! Revelation 1 vs 8. john was written what Jesus was speaking through the spirirt, he says I am the Alpha and the Omega, the begining and the end says the lord , the God that was, and is n which is to come the Almighty!!! The word came down with the name jesus, bcos every in this world must a name... Remeber wot was written in phil 2v9, the word came wit a name n dat name was exalted above all. The bible also say at the end i will write a new name on their head they will b my people and i will b their God. U cannot separate a man and the word from is mouth, so u can not separate God 's word from him becos it is the word that makes him God! So jesus is God

Haleluya praise God for John 1:1 the word can not be killed destoryed or erased. Once thought of once utter it exists forever. My God is an awesome God he reigns over heaven and earth

 

Nghashi's comment on 2015-04-27 14:45:22:

In the beginning was the word,the word was with the Almighty God, the word was made God by the Almighty 's decision or ' ' good pleasure ' ' Colossian 1:19. God-the Almighty has subjected all things under Christ excepting Himself. 1Corinthians 15 : 27-28.Jesus shall hand over to God in the end so that He the Almighty should be God ' ' all and all ' '. 1Corinthians 15:28.

 

James's comment on 2015-03-23 10:25:13:

Not a Greek expert but the Holy Spirit helps me understand this verse. In the beginning was means just that the Word already existed. This is proved by verse 14 that says "the Word was made flesh. The only thing you can reasonably conclude the the Word was Jesus pre flesh.

 

THOMAS's comment on 2015-02-19 18:56:54:

A correction on my previous entry. The statement God makes " this day have I begotten thee " is referring to the resurrection of Jesus. If Jesus is created he cannot propitiate Gods wrath toward sinners. If God is a singular there is no sacrifice to be offered thus no hope.

 

THOMAS's comment on 2015-02-19 18:10:58:

Jesus was preexistent with the father and the holy sprit from all eternity. Any view that attempts to make god into a singular being or make Jesus into a created being is a theology that can save no one. If Christ was not the God man then his sacrifice has no eternal efficacy. The term "this day I have begotten thee " is in reference to Christ staring his ministry. If Christ is not eternal or if he is created he can save no one. GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, GOD THE HOLY SPIRT, BLESSED GOD THREE IN ONE.

 

Mabel's comment on 2014-11-03 08:08:48:

Actually, in the Greek text, the definite article ho, the, appears before the first God, but there is no article before the second. Regarding the Son s prehuman existence, John says In the beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. Joh 1 1, NW The King James Version and the Douay Version read In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Again in the Greek text, the definite article ho, the, appears before the first God, but there is no article before the second. Other translations aid in getting the proper view. The interlinear word for word reading of the Greek translation in the Emphatic Diaglott reads In a beginning was the Word, and the Word was with the God, and a god was the Word. The accompanying text of the Diaglott uses capital and small capital letters for the God, and initial capital and lowercase letters for the second appearance of God in the sentence In the Beginning was the LOGOS, and the LOGOS was with GOD, and the LOGOS was God. These renderings would support the fact that Jesus, being the Son of God and the one used by God in creating all other things Col 1 15 20 , is indeed a god, a mighty one, and has the quality of mightiness, but is not the Almighty God.

Substitute "word " to "presence " and everything will become crystal clear.

 

Grant's comment on 2014-07-29 10:46:20:

Trinitarian Alert If your God is Jesus, and he died for us, who raised him from the state where he could do nothing? His father raised him. Gal 1 1 Why was Jesus unable to raise himself? He was dead! Eccl 9 5. Trinitairians, your God died! My God has never died.Your God doesnt know when the last hour is. by his own addmission.Mark 13 32 My God knows everything.

 

christian's comment on 2014-07-20 10:32:14:

the son declared the father in word physically came out from the father of eternity past and has saved only them that believe thy are one and that the son paid the price of sin the gospel of his grace.

 

dr. tony's comment on 2014-07-05 23:05:05:

how did "word " get turned into "son "? in other words, how did "word " become another word for "jesus "? point "word " means "law " not "jesus. "
