Commentary on John 1.3 [4 pages]
by John Schoenheit, Mark Graeser, John Lynn rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)
The opening of John reveals this simple truth in a beautiful way: “In the beginning there was one God, who had reason, purpose and a plan, which was, by its very nature and origin, divine. It was through and on account of this reason, plan and purpose that everything was made. Nothing was made outside its scope. Then, this plan became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ and tabernacled among us.” Understanding the opening of John this way fits with the whole of Scripture and is entirely acceptable from a translation standpoint.

The world around us is constantly changing. In an ever changing world the one thing that remains constant is mathematics because numbers don't lie. So much of mainstream Christianity has their numbers all wrong. If you were to believe them then you would also have to believe that either God has His math wrong or He really doesn't know who He is. Pastor Bruce Reye is here to tell us that "Numbers Don't Lie" and that the Bible does have its math correct.
