Trinity DebateJesus as the embodied pre-existent SonYou are referring to the prologue of John's Gospel. You can find this is John 1:1-18. Trinitarians maintain that when John wrote: That John is teaching a preexistent divine entity that is the Son. However, this denies how both 1st century Jews and Greeks understood "logos" in Greek and "memra" in Hebrew. A Greek philosopher name Heraclitus first developed the Greek philosophical understanding of "logos" in about 600 B.C. Hericlitus defined "logos" as the divine reason or plan, which coordinates a changing universe. This philosophical reasoning agrees with how the Hebrew's reasoning concerning God's "memra" (word), an understanding that is found in the Mishna and the Targums, which are Jewish commentaries on God's word. As a Jew Peter understood this, which is why he told the Jews that the Man Jesus is God's predetermined plan based on His foreknowledge. |
