John 1:1-18
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”) 16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
2 Peter 1:20-21
Prophecy is Not by Human Will
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
John 14:6
Jesus Says He is the Way
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
St. John was inspired when He wrote His gospel...The whole Bible is Inspired by God, and written by man...And because the Bible was written by man, it has man writing the stories about God...And without the Bible, we would no very little about God...And we read the many stories of God and about Him, especially in the Old Testament we learn much about Him...
But regardless of man's point of view Scripture and the Bible did not originate from man but from the Holy Spirit...St. Peter makes that clear...And because the Holy Spirit is involved the Bible is the Scripture and information about God...God got involved with the Bible, so we would learn about Him...God would really get involved not only with the Bible, but also with Israel and the whole world...
So for me the Bible makes a shift after Malachi...We go from the Old to New Testament...A Man shows up and not any Man, but a Man who can do miracles, says that He and God are One...And this Man goes around forgiving people of their wrongdoings against other people...A Man whose entire life is centered around God...And when one studies this One Man, we see that the Bible is more personal, and different...The Bible is different because this Man is different as this Man sees the world from His point of view and from a completely different view and way...This way of thinking is called the Way, His Way...This Man who dwelt among us is truly full of grace and truth...This Man was and is the Word, the Logos, the Purpose and Meaning of Life...
