What does John 1:2-5 TRULY Mean in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God?
Let us begin this Verse Study by reading John 1:2-5 and pointing out the words that were ADDED by the translators in light green font color.
John 1:2-5.
“The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
First of all, we are reading a “translation” of God’s word and the English word “things” is NOT in the original Greek text.
Secondly, if the pronoun “him” is the God intended pronoun, as opposed to the pronoun “it” as some other translations have translated John 1:2-5, there are still two possible interpretations for who or what the pronoun “him” or it refer to.
Let me explain what I mean by this.
Interpretation #1.
Almighty God the Father Himself in the Creator! And thus, the pronoun him refers back to God Himself. And the word “the same” refers back to the “Word” in John 1:1, which became flesh to be the LIGHT of the world, the Son of MAN, Jesus, anointed by God.
“The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
Interpretation #2.
The pronoun “him” should be translated as the pronoun “it”, if the pronoun is insisted to refer back to the word “same”. And thus, the ALL that was made is referring to the ALL who BELIEVE to be saved. For you see, we are all saved by HEARING the word of God PREACHED, according to 1 Corinthians 1:17-21.
“The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3. All things were made by it; and without it was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4. In it was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
Interpretation #3.
The Word in John 1:1 should be translated as the word. And the word should be understood as the SAYING was TOWARD THE God. And thus, the SAYING is the prophecy of the Messiah who is the Son of MAN, named Jesus, the human Son of God that God ANOINTED.
And the ALL who believe are created BY Almighty God Himself INTO Jesus Christ.
“The SAME (Referring to THE SAYING) was in the beginning TOWARD THE God.
John 1:3. ALL through SAME came to be; and apart from SAME became to be not yet ONE which has become. (Referring to the ALL who believe have become new creature through the “logos” of the preaching of the word of God. And WITHOUT the word, became not one who has become a new creation of God created in Jesus)
John 1:4. In SAME (The SAYING of God made flesh to be the LIGHT) was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
Interpretation #4.
The Trinitarian interpretation that the Word in John 1:1 means that a God the Son was WITH Almighty God the Father in the eternity past. And God the Son WAS Almighty God Himself.
And thus, to Trinitarian Christians, John 1:2-5 means that God the Son created EVERYTHING thing that exists.
“The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
Now, to me, interpretations #1, #2, and #3, AGREE with the REST of the Scriptures. However, interpretation #4, the Trinitarian interpretation, CONTRADICTS many other verses in the Scripture.
For example, the Trinitarian interpretation contradicts Numbers 23:19, Hosea 11:9, and James 1:13, just to name a few.
Plain and SIMPLE, WE are JOINT-HEIRS with Jesus to inherit everything the Jesus inherits, according to Romans 8:15-19, and John 17:13-26.
Now, SOME Christians in different church denominations, such as the Roman Catholic Church, sincerely, but wrongly believe in the FALSE doctrine or original sin. And thus, they build their other man-made doctrines upon the false doctrine of every person being born with a so-called sinful NATURE.
And therefore, they wrongly conclude that ONLY Almighty God Himself can die for the sins of man. But the TRUTH of the matter is that God CHOSE for a MAN to die for the sins of the world.
Again, once Christians understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And that you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become a Lord, a King, and a God, to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
