One in Messiah Congregation
Another look at Gen. 1:1
I see in
these few words "In the beginning
God created", many things like: joy, cheer, breathe, building, to mention a
few.
Below, I
look at four words with just a few possible meanings.
-----------
beginning - øÅàùÑÄéú
son - áÌø
head (father) - øÅàùÑÄ
God (s) - àÁìÉäÄéí
----------------
Gen. 1
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and
the earth.
áÌÀøÅàùÑÄéú,
áÌÈøÈà àÁìÉäÄéí, àÅú äÇùÌÑÈîÇéÄí, åÀàÅú äÈàÈøÆõ
-----------------
In the first verse, I see, in the beginning, áÌÀøÅàùÑÄéú the
Son, áÌÈøÈ and the head (father) øÅàùÑÄ as One - (àÁìÉäÄéí
- noun common masculine
plural absolute - Gods)
John 1 [1] In the
beginning, áÌÀøÅàùÑÄéú was
the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
---
Shoud I venture
to say,
I see, áÌÈøÈà áÌÀøÅàùÑÄéú the
Son, twice (2)áÌÈøÈ and the head (father) øÅàùÑÄ as One - ( 3
as One ?) (àÁìÉäÄéí - noun common masculine plural absolute - Gods)
1 John 5 [7] For there
are three that bear record in heaven, the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one.
John 10 [30] I and my Father are one
John 17 [21] That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee,
that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent
me.
[22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have
given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
[23]
I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast
sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
[24]
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am;
that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
