What It Means for Jesus to Be the "Word of God"

What It Means for Jesus to Be the "Word of God"

John begins his Gospel account by introducing Jesus as the Word of God, echoing the opening chapters of Genesis, where God created life through his spoken word. This beginning was good, but when God’s creatures rejected his instructions, all creation spiraled into death. The world needed a new beginning, so God’s divine word spoke again, but this time, the word became a human named Jesus.

    The music behind the dialogue is terrible and distracts from the meaning

    This is highly impressive. As an artist and educator who studied animation, I appreciate that work that went into this. It made me understand it better.

    Now do a video about time scale from God to our own.

    The explanation is decent. Yet the fake accent and black-only characters was really distracting and woke.

    When a few women drink from God, they get gold crowns.
    Then they get brains. Currently they all sit regurgitating the grass I smoke.
    You cannot get smarter than a woman that knows God. Who drinks immortality, and tastes the mind of God.
    Creation is manifested into existence by sound being frequent. The frequency overlaps, and separates. Your words are overlapped and separate from you.
    God is woven to the beginning and end of existence, when you realize existence as a beginning and end. Known as the pillars of creation. Duality.
    The end is completion.
    Your brain has doorways. God has all the keys to the brain.
    I am Orion on my left, and Hyades on my right. I am alive on my left and dead on my right.
    I am Death in a body.
    Jesus is a fake name. A mock to God. It’s like calling him a Mexican after Muslims stole from him.
    This is why I insult them right back. – God Almighty. The Real Allah from Valhalla.
    The genius receives the golden spiral on their head like a crown. As within, so without, as above, so below.

    So, before Jesus became a human, he was existed as a scroll. Perhaps you need to rethink your theology.

  11. @robcheeley on June 15, 2025 at 10:34 pm

    You need to be more honest to the original language. The only reason we use the word ‘Word’ in John 1 is because English doesn’t have a word that can be translated accurately from ‘logos’. For example, in Chinese, they have a word — ‘dao’ — which reflects much more accurately the meaning of ‘logos’. You don’t bother to mention this. Basically nullifies most of your discussion. Please don’t do things like this, as it is misleading to those who are trusting you to be presenting truth.

  12. @DrBible-ThD-HarvardLaw on June 15, 2025 at 10:34 pm

    I think it was Riplinger who said “Gospel” is an old Anglo Saxton combination of “God’s Word”, spell meaning “word”. Remember your spelling words…hence Go-spel. So we are to preach & teach The Gospel, God’s Word.

  13. @logic8673 on June 15, 2025 at 10:34 pm

    This presentation appears to confuse everyone judging by the comments.Anyway, you can trace back the first mention of the word of “YHVH” is in Genesis. So the early Christians made the connections Word of YHVH, Angel of the YHVH and in the letter to the Hebrews, the mysterious Melchizedek. I think this is because the rabbis has already contemplated this mystery of the plurality of God, there seems to be a Spirit and also an angel being that speaks (words) as if he is YHVH. Jesus called the Pharisees hypocrites because as Israel teachers, they should know.

  14. @kiwihans100 on June 15, 2025 at 10:35 pm

    Jesus as the "Word of God" is NOT the LOGOS of Greek mythology! ( divine reason & wisdon) John uses the personal pronoun regarding the ‘Word a number of times in John chapter one! saying "he! The ‘Word’ meant Jesus is ‘God’s spokesman’ his ‘representative’ ( Greek ‘apostello’ one sent to represent or speak for another; As in the case of John the baptist where the SAME word ‘apostello’ in John 1:6 is found at John 7:39) Jesus said “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. And He who SENT Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.” (John 8: 38,39). Thus is plain Jesus is the ‘Word OF God, not his own ‘word’!

    Bible project, the Bible tells us what Jesus has made known.
    Jn 1: 18.
    "HIM" (the Father).
    NKJV.
    You have an erroneous translation of the Bible.

  17. @matswessling6600 on June 15, 2025 at 10:40 pm

    "what was in the beginning"? no, rather: where did this god-character come from?

  18. @Christ_Has_Risen_4u on June 15, 2025 at 10:40 pm

    My brothers and sisters we become the Son of God through faith in the Messiah! Yeshua remains Son of Man, the divine prophetic title. Our Father has taken on flesh from which He had since the beginning, thus we were made in His image: to eat, sleep, dance, laugh, and rejoice! But we were cast out from the garden of eden, o the precious land of faith and peace. But as we sowed evil, so evil was sowed against us: for it sprang up like a furious tare, and it wounded us whereon we stood, yet by pride and lust we stood in the place of sin; so God has stood in our place. Hence, the reconcile, the mediator, Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords.

    ‘In the beginning’ means in the absolute begging, that is before God created all the Angels and Spirits, was already prexisting the Word (which is a hebraism for the One who shall become, Jehovah, Jesus Christ) Before Jesus created anything physical, He created Angels and Spirits to witness the physical creation. John 1:1 is the verse in the Bible that goes the furthest back into eternity past. The word ‘was’ means Jesus Christ was already in existence before the beginning. Before God created anything. The creation of Angels and Spirits and the subsequent physical creation didn’t come from nothing, every thing in creation comes from God Himself. God is triune, body, soul and spirit. Jesus is the physical manifestation of God. God made Adam in He’s triune image, body soul and spirit, from the same elements that he created the cosmos and the earth. Adam is a primary creation, not a secondary creation, he wasn’t made from the dust of the earth, he was made of the same elements the earth was made of. Eve is a secondary creation, she was made by God from all the sides of Adam. Top, bottom, front, back and sides of Adam. When God created Adam, God breathed into Adam the lives of all the human race. God made Adam in God’s triune blood flowing, shadow casting image, with free will (volution). Adam used his God given volution to rebel against God when he chose to eat the tree of good and evil. Through Adam death came into the world

  27. @jamesduck926 on June 15, 2025 at 10:49 pm

    False teachers want you to believe that the only time in history, the word logos was ever used to represent a being was in John 1:1. it’s used millions of times in history and not once ever did it mean anything other than language or spoken word. So the one time in history it means a person is when they needed it to fulfill their agenda

  28. @WayneFrost-m9w on June 15, 2025 at 10:53 pm

    A new book published Nov. 2024, by Orison Publishers “God Gave His WORD” fully discusses this topic

  29. @helenlehman2939 on June 15, 2025 at 10:55 pm

    Jesus told Peter to be one with the followers of Christ just as Jesus is one with the Father. Be one even as I and my Father are one. I believe this means to be unified in their hearts and to be in harmony with one another; just as Jesus is in full agreement being fully obedient and in harmony with his Father in Heaven.

    Jesus is like the code God used to create the universe. The Bible is timeless.

    ~~~ That’s one looooong stretch, but illustrates what nonsense you will feed a belief infection.
    Anyone who is Saved/Enlightened/Mystic is One with God, Heaven, Immortal… Here! Now!
    One with any Word of God!
    If not, you are (in) Hell!
    Beliefs are completely unnecessary for Salvation!

    In Revelation 3:12 Jesus clearly says, "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of MY God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of MY God, and the name of the city of MY God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from MY God: and I will write upon him MY NEW NAME."
    "My God and My New Name!" Really?

    In this verse alone, Jesus emphatically refers to the Father as his God . . . . not just once, but FOUR different times in the very same sentence to make certain that he is clearly understood! He is not the Father, nor is he the same as the Father . . . they don’t even have the SAME NAME!!

    Jesus was created in the beginning in the likeness and image of God . . . the same as Adam. But then He became the ‘last’ Adam’. (1 Corinthians 15:45. "The first man, Adam, became a living person; but the last Adam, Jesus the Christ, was made a life-giving Spirit".)
    In John 3:6 Jesus says, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."

    Jesus was the first begotten Son of God to be born in a Spirit body and then sent by His Father to earth to take on a fleshly human body so he could redeem mankind from all of the sins caused by the first Adam.

    He was then resurrected to eternal life to sit as the king of Kings at the right hand of the ONLY THRONE in heaven . . . the throne of our Father, His God and our God, to rule forever and ever. When he ascended He left behind His Spirit here on earth to help guide mankind through our lives unto salvation and eternal life to be with him in heaven.
    It is not complicated at all.
    And there is no trinitarian confusion whatsoever.

    John 20:17Jesus said:..‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God
    John 17:3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you (the father), the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent
    John 14:1 Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe . . . . . also in me!

    In John 20:31, John unambiguously stated why he wrote his book: _but these are written so that you may believe that _*_Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,_*_ and that by believing you may have life in his name._
    Had one of the main purposes of his book been to bestow Godhood on Jesus, John would have said so. And he would not have had these in his book: John 20:17: _Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to _*_my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”_* John17:3, where Jesus is speaking to the Father: : _And this is eternal life, that they know _*_you, the only true God,_*_ and Jesus Christ whom you have sent._
    In John 20:28, both lord and God are in the nominative declension, not the vocative–the address form. Both are also preceded by "the," by far most likely making them two different entities. It was an exclamation, like the airhead exclamation OMG, and not a form of address.
    John 1:1 is translated in this format: _In the beginning was Jackson, and Jackson was with Henderson, and Jackson was Henderson._ A slow six-year-old can see that’s unadulterated nonsense. How come when discussing this no one noticed this?
    In discussing John 1:1, how can one not mention the logos concept? Also, it appears only in John 1. In Luke 1:2 it refers to the message preached. The logos concept was created by Heraclitus in about 550BC. It personalises an aspect of something to such an extent that the personalisation may become a second entity. In the time of Jesus, Philo of Alexandria, a Jew, popularised this among the Jews and related it to God. Philo sometimes had the logos as a second entity, sometimes not. He was not a Christian. Not mentioning this relevant information is less than honest.
    In Proverbs, wisdom was personalised and presented as a discrete person. People did such things in those days.
    This video will be uncritically accepted by those already believing that way and those of limited discernment, but someone with a bit more knowledge will see it for what it is, Trinitarian propaganda.
    The Trinitarian dogma has as its foundation 1god + 1god +1god = 1god. It also uncritically accepts mutually excluding conditions, like fully man and fully god, which is like fully dog and fully cat.
    People are waking up and more and more are rejecting the Trinitarian dogma and serving the god Jesus called _the only true God._

    Word also means promise as in I give you my word. In creation’s beginning the possibility of our existing was always there, waiting for circumstances to be right for it to manifest. It’s in my book about inner deepening to become that.
