Title: Glory, grace, and truth
Post by: ed on August 14, 2014, 03:20:06 PM
John 1
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Been working glory.  So many cool words go with glory.  Apaugasma!(brightness used once in the book of Hebrews 1:3)

Brightness
grace
truth.............

" Brightness
grace
truth............. "

the light/life which lights all (will light all).. sad how the gospel has lost some of its glory ("brightness, grace, truth") after these almost 2000 years of being passed through human hands and the faith made up of humans (not really surprising therefor) - not the Word of God, the Bible which is still the "brightness, grace, truth" (except for the human mistranslation/blasphemy of 'hell' and the "for ever and ever" mistranslation)

"By how much the more clearly the author of the Christian religion, not without the help of Deity, exhibited to men the idea of reason imbued with true religion, so as to represent as it were an _apaugasma_ of the divine reason, or the divine spirit, by so much the more diligently ought man to strive to approach as nearly as possible to form that archetype in the mind, and to study to imitate it in life and manners to the utmost of his ability."

Truth............what is truth?


How does it relate to the glory that is in Jesus Christ?

Christ is glorified when?

Just a simple reading of John 1:14 excites me..........but I don't really think I understand it.

Truth is the character of Jesus. "I am the way, the truth and the life".

And to complement all the above scriptures referred to above:

Joh 1:9  That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
