Judaism ForumAsk an Orthodox JewHi StillSmallVoice again.. SSVoice... Staying on a philosophical level, if His words are not Him, could He be His words? I ask because when the New Testament was being written from the Greek, a Scholar by the name of Middleton rearranged John 1:1: "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and God was the word is how it reads, not and the word was God." The word was not Him but pertained to Him, pointed towards Him. And when the word (plan, grand design) became flesh...it was God in flesh. The man was not God...but God was that man. (just my perspective) I don't think that Christ was God...but I do see that God was in the Christ reconcilling the world to Himself. As Aineo alluded to... We see the "and God Said" as being, more than simply a word spoken, but a sound, a constant vibration, frequency, that sustains creation. And God said, and it was so...and still so... just as He said. What, then, is the view from an Orthodox Jew concerning God's word that upholds what was created? Thanks |
