Book 5 Chapter 7. A CLOSER Look at John 1:1!

Book 5 Chapter 7.

Does John 1:1-3 mean that Jesus is the CREATOR?

Jesus is the AMBASSADOR of THE Almighty God!

In chapter 3, we learned that the translators ADDED the word “things”, which MISLEADS Christians to wrongly believe that the Son of God is the CREATOR of the universe.

We also learned that the translators of the KJV did NOT translate the Greek word “ho”, the definite article “THE” before the word “ALL” in Colossians 1:16 as well as NOT translate the definite article “THE” in many verses of Scripture.

And by making those choices as to how they “translated” the New Testament, the KJV and some or the other modern translations make it seem as if Jesus is the creator of all THINGS.

Then we learned in chapter 5 that God SENT or COMMISSIONED His HUMAN Son before God SENT him into the world.

And in chapter 6, we learned that the human Son of God BEGAN being in the FORM of God after the cross and resurrection.

So then, here in chapter 7, we will take a closer look at John 1:1 so that you can see another “incorrect” translation, that, to me, is BIASED toward the doctrine of the Trinity.

We have to remember that Satan can deceive even godly men who are true born-again Christians to wrongly believe man-made church doctrines that actually contradict other verses of Scripture.

Let us begin this chapter by reading the LITERAL translation of John 1:1 so that you can see another possible translation., which I myself believe is a correct translation.

For you see, this translation from the Textus Receptus does NOT contradict any other verses in the entire Bible.

Here is the LITERAL translation of John 1:1.

“In beginning was the SAYING, and the SAYING was TOWARD THE God, and God was the SAYING.”

Remember that the definite article “THE” saying indicates a SPECIFIC word. And to me, that “specific” saying that began to be spoken as prophecy in ANOTHER beginning was the TITLE “God”.

In other words, THE prophecy was a God. And that NEW God was TOWARD THE God, as in, the prophecy of a future new God headed in the “direction” to be SEATED with the only TRUTHFUL God.

To say this another way, the WORD in John 1:1 is PROPHECY of a MAN who would be found WORTHY to be RECEIVED up to his God to be SEATED on God’s throne at His right hand.

Here is how the concordance in E-Sword defines the Greek word “pros” that is translated as “WITH” God in the KJV and many other translations of the Bible.

G4314

πρός

pros

A strengthened form of G4253; a preposition of direction; forward to, that is, toward (with the genitive case the side of, that is, pertaining to; with the dative case by the side of, that is, near to; usually with the accusative case the place, time, occasion, or respect, which is the destination of the relation, that is, whither or for which it is predicated): - about, according to, against, among, at, because of, before, between, ([where-]) by, for, X at thy house, in, for intent, nigh unto, of, which pertain to, that, to (the end that), + together, to ([you]) -ward, unto, with (-in). In compounds it denotes essentially the same applications, namely, motion towards, accession to, or nearness at.

And the word “ACCESSION to” means the attainment or acquisition of a position of rank or power, typically that of monarch or president.

And Jesus OBTAINED a more excellent NAME than the angels by way of INHERITING that name, according to Hebrews 1:3-9.

Also, I want you to notice that when Pontius Pilate asked Jesus in John 18:37 if he was a King, Jesus answered and said, “To this END I was BORN.”

John 18:37.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To THIS END was I BORN, and for THIS CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear WITNESS unto the TRUTH. Every one that is of the TRUTH hears my voice.”

Are you HEARING the voice of Jesus right now? Notice that Jesus says TWO different things.

According to John 18:37, Jesus said that he was BORN for the very purpose of being made to be a King.

And then Jesus says, for this cause of me being born to be a King is to BEAR WITNESS of the TRUTH.

Have you ever wondered why Jesus will only reign for 1000 years during the world to come and then step down from ruling over the earth, according to 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, Micah 4:6-8, Psalm 110:1-7, and many other verses of Scripture?

Well, part of the answer is in Revelation 3:14.

Revelation 3:14.

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS, the beginning of the creation of God;”

Now, obviously, Trinitarian Christians HAVE to or they MUST “interpret” this verse to mean that a so-called pre-existing God the Son began the creation of the entire universe in the eternity past.

Otherwise, their whole man-made doctrine of the Trinity Godhead falls apart.

But to me, I have to ask the question, WHY? Why would God the Father need a FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS in the eternity past before Almighty God the Father Himself began His creation.

For you see, this verse says, the creation of God and NOT the creation that was created BY the faithful and true WITNESS.

Notice that Jesus is referred to as being called the “AMEN”, which also means TRUTH and so be it.

To me, this speaks of Almighty God the Father using the Son of MAN as His faithful and truthful WITNESS to JUDGE the world by the MAN that He ORDAINED and raised from the dead, according to Acts 17:29-31.

Yahweh will say to Satan and the fallen angels, AMEN or so be it, by My faithful WITNESSES I have proven that what I create, I create PERFECT in the day in which I created it.

And My witnesses, Jesus and his faithful servants, have ruled over the earth together for a 1000 years in righteousness and in peace, NOT having any wars.

Therefore, by My faithful and truthful witnesses, I Yahweh decree all of you rebellious angels guilty as charged. Be you cast into the lake of fire which I have prepared for you Devil, you FALSE ACCUSER, and your angels.

For you see, according to John 8:44,45, Jesus said that Satan was a LIAR from BEFORE the beginning.

Here are some other verses of Scripture that have the Greek word “pros” translated as TOWARD so that you can see that the English word “WITH” can also mean toward the direction of something or someone.

Luke 24:29.

“But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, (Translated from the Greek word “PROS” Strong’s number G4314, meaning, headed in the DIRECTION to evening) and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.”

Acts 24:16.

“And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense toward God, (Translated from the Greek word “PROS” Strong’s number G4314, meaning, having a conscience without sin directed in the DIRECTION of God) and toward men (Looking for the resurrection of the just to go to the Father).”

1 Thessalonians 4:12.

“That you may walk honestly toward them that are without, (Translated from the Greek word “PROS” Strong’s number G4314, meaning, walking in honesty directed in the DIRECTION of or before them that are without) and that you may have lack of nothing.”

1 Thessalonians 5:14.

“Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward (Translated from the Greek word “PROS” Strong’s number G4314, meaning, having patience directed in the DIRECTION of, before men, or having patience WITH) all men.

Philemon 1:3-5.

“Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father AND the Lord Jesus Christ.

Philemon 1:4. I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,

Philemon 1:5. Hearing of your love and faith, which you have toward (Translated from the Greek word “PROS” Strong’s number G4314, meaning, having love and faith directed in the DIRECTION of ) the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;”

1 John 3:21.

“Beloved, if our heart condemns us not, then have we confidence toward (Translated from the Greek word “PROS” Strong’s number G4314, meaning, having confidence directed in the DIRECTION of ) God.”

John 1:1 More correctly translated.

“In the beginning was the word, and the word was TOWARD the God, (John 1:1 being more CORRECTLY translated from the Greek word “PROS” Strong’s number G4314, meaning, the PROPHECY of a God being formed for the purpose to go in the direction to the God to be seated at His right hand) and the word was a God.”

And this is EXACTLY what was FULFILLED in Hebrews chapter 1 and chapter 2.

Please read Hebrews 1:9.

“You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has ANOINTED you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”

One of the meanings of the Greek word translated as “anointed” means to consecrate to an office.

In the Old Testament, God ANOINTED David to be the King of His chosen people. And in Psalm 89:18-27, God FOUND his servant David and PROPHESIED that He would make him His FIRSTBORN, to be higher than the kings of the earth.

And thus, the office that was decreed or prophesied for the Son of MAN was to be CROWNED with glory and honor to ascend up into heaven to be seated on the THRONE of Almighty God the Father at His right hand side to RECEIVE power and authority to rule over the earth in PEACE for 1000 years in the world to come.

This is what the Bible ITSELF teaches us in simplicity. This is the TRUTH of the TRUE gospel of Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 2:1-14.

“Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, (Speaking of the doctrine of the Apostles and NOT the man-made church doctrines) lest at any time we should let them slip.

Hebrews 2:2. For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;

Hebrews 2:3. How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; (So, let us trust in what the EYEWITNESS teach us in simplicity in the New Testament)

Hebrews 2:4. God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to His own will?

Hebrews 2:5. For unto the angels He has NOT put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. (Or God did NOT make any of the angels to be Lords over the earth during the world to come)

Hebrews 2:6. But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is MAN, that You are mindful of him? Or the Son of MAN, that You visitest him?

Hebrews 2:7. You MADE him a little lower than the angels; You CROWNED him with glory and honor, and did SET him over the works of YOUR hands:

Hebrews 2:8. You have put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. (Meaning that more will be placed under him during the Millennial reign of Jesus)

Hebrews 2:9. But we see Jesus, (Or WE, the very Apostles of Jesus UNDERSTAND the TRUE Jesus) who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, CROWNED with glory and honor; (After the cross and resurrection) that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Hebrews 2:10. For it became Him, for whom are ALL things, and by whom are ALL things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. (Now, if you are a Trinitarian Christian, simply ask yourself the question.

“How can an already PERFECT almighty God the Son be MADE PERFECT by his God and Father?”

The man-made doctrine of the Trinity makes no sense when it is TRULY considered in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God)

Hebrews 2:11. For both he that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, (Jesus said in John 17:14-26 that we shall be ONE with Jesus and the Father even as the Father and Jesus are ONE)

Hebrews 2:12. Saying, I will declare Your name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto You.

Hebrews 2:13. And again, I will put my trust in Him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me.

Heb 2:14. Forasmuch then, as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; (Or more correctly translated, he also himself likewise out of necessity belonged to the same flesh and blood nature) that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;”

For you see, by one MAN’s disobedience many were caused to become sinners for all men have sinned. And thus, it was needed that by one MAN’s OBEDIENCE for many to be made righteous.

Romans 5:12,17-19.

“Wherefore, as by one MAN sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:...

…Romans 5:17. For if by ONE MAN’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by ONE, Jesus Christ.)

Romans 5:18. Therefore, as by the offense of ONE, judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of ONE, the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

Romans 5:19. For as by one MAN's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of ONE shall many be made righteous.”

And it was to this END that the Son of MAN was lifted up on the cross, according to John 3:13-18 and Romans 14:8,9.

Romans 14:8,9.

“For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

Romans 14:9. For to THIS END Christ both died, and rose, and revived, THAT he might be Lord both of the dead and living.”

And, according to the GOSPEL in Acts 2:22-36, it was the Son of MAN, Jesus who was MADE to become both Lord and Messiah AFTER the cross and resurrection.

You can read the first gospel message on your own, I will only quote verse 36.

Acts 2:36.

“Therefore, let all the house of Israel KNOW ASSUREDLY, that God has MADE that same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

So then, from now on, when you read the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, then KNOW ASSUREDLY that it was the Son of MAN, Jesus, whom God made to become our Lord Jesus Christ after the cross and resurrection.

And also know and understand that WE shall be LIKE Jesus at his coming, according to 1 John 3:1-3.

We are being conformed into the IMAGE of God’s FIRSTBORN, according to Romans 8:29.

And we know that WE shall live BECAUSE Jesus lives, according to John 14:1-3,19.

John 14:1-3,19.

“Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe ALSO in me.

John 14:2. In my Father’s house are many mansions: (Or many places of authority) if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (Speaking of going to the cross first, and then ascending to the Father to be crowned with glory and honor to RECEIVE all power and authority)

John 14:3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also…

...John 14:19. Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; (Meaning that the highly exalted Son of Man, Jesus, only showed himself alive for forty days to his DISCIPLES) but you see me: because I live, you shall live also.”
