Subject: Question about your webpage Date: Sun, 3 Mar 2002 06:26:14 EST The SoulThe term, "The Word", used in John 1:1
is translated from the Greek word Logos which not only refers to the spoken
word, or the alphabetic representation of an idea, but also the idea itself
(see Strong's Concordance Definition). Since your thoughts originate
from your soul, "The Word" refers to God's soul. Saying that "the Word
was made flesh", means that God's soul was put into a flesh body.
When God's soul was put it into a flesh body, it formed Jesus. This
means that Jesus is The Word in a flesh body, not that Jesus is The
Word.
This is how I got over a comeplete nervous breakdown where I was comepletely insane and didn't understand what reality was or where the boundries started and stopped. I couldn't figure out what was real and what wasn't. There is a verse in the Bible: John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the
way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
I read the whole bible for a few months and was still kind of loss. It would take me a hour or so to type out just all these thoughts I had and philosophies I had about reality and life and God. But when I came across that verse, everything started to make sense to me. For The longest time, ever since I was a little kid, I had people telling me at times I was insane or crazy. The only thing is, I didn't know what defined reality. I didn't understand the world's barometer on how it determines a person to be crazy. And once I read that verse, I realized that insanity comes from not knowing Christ. For He is the Truth. And if you are the Truth, you are Life. Reality is Life. Reality, dictionary definition - What is actual, what is true. Because Jesus said He is the Truth, then He has to be God. He Has to be Life. When I was lost, before I started to understand the Bible, I knew that I was dead because I had no reality. Most people say reality is one's own perception. But if that is the case, then reality wouldn't even exist. There has to be one truth so there can be one reality. I knew we all had to conform to one person's perception, but I had no clue who was right. And if there was no one perception for us all, then I realized there was probably no reality. And I had had a near death experience where I thought in my vision that this whole world was was one being, that one being couldn't handle being alone, so then that one being decided to explode itself to create the illusion that it wasnt one mass. But that would be living an illusion or lie. And if you are living a lie, your lying about living, and therefore dead. So for a while, going by the world's view that everyone has their own individual reality and there was no one reality, I started to really believe this vision I saw was correct. And I just thought all reality was an illusion. But if all reality is an illusion, then there is no reality. Which made me feel very dead for 2 years. I kind of viewed everyone as being God, but I thought alot of people werent aware of it. And once more and more people became aware, I thought the whole universe would die. Which had me panicking. I thought maybe all religions were just about pretending their was a God to make it harder for people to figure out what was really going on, that we were all living a lie. One day I had this encounter and I decided to turn to the bible because I knew it was the only book that spoke differently than the other religions. And part of me was trying to believe it and really wanted to. And part of me kept thinking maybe it was just a very clever book to realy try and keep people from figuring out that there was really no universe. All I mainly read was the New Testament. And I threw away all my books, except for the bible. But it wasnt until I read John 14:6 that I actually started to believe the Bible. I always believed Jesus actually existed and always thought He was definately a Son of God if there ever was one and I always believed he was absolutely brilliant and I always thought he was Holier than anyone else. But when I read John 14:6, I realized he was probably God himself, because he said He is the Truth. So I saw Him as being that one Reality(life) for us all to live in, figuring if we are all living in the same reality, we all live together. And if we live in Truth, we are truely living. There was this book this friend of mine once showed me, "The Man Who Thought His Wife Was a Hat". Now is him and his wife really able to share life together? I would say his wife probably feels very alone in the relationship. So I guess I'm just saying, if one is Truth, then one is God. And since
Jesus said He is Truth, then He is God.
