Prologue of John
God created all things — even Jesus
In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth. (Gen 1:1) Jesus called himself the beginning of God’s creation. (Rev 3:14) He was one of God’s creations in the beginning.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for God to have a god
Jesus said, “I go to MY GOD and YOUR GOD“. (Joh 20:17) On the cross he said, “MY GOD, MY GOD why hast thou forsaken me?”(Mat 27:46, Mar 15:34)
If that weren’t enough, in heaven Jesus said to John, “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of MY GOD, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of MY GOD, and the name of the city of MY GOD, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from MY GOD” (Rev 3:12)
It is IMPOSSIBLE for God to have a god. And there is no other God beside him.
Isa 45:21 there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
Isa 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
Therefore it is impossible for Jesus to be God. Period.
Who created all things? God. Jesus was a creation of God. God was not only our God but the God of Jesus also. The Logos of Greek philosophy did NOT create the heavens and the earth. God did. Jesus was NOT the Logos of God.
The Logos was incorrectly translated the Word, it is NOT. The Logos was God’s “blueprint for the world”, according to Philo. The Logos is a Greek philosophical concept that was never a Jewish concept, but was fused into Jewish philosophy by Philo in the first century.
Jesus was NOT born the incarnation of God
Jesus was NOT the son of God from his birth. He BECAME the son of God at his baptism when he was around 30 or 40 years old. An audible voice from heaven at his baptism, “Thou art my son, TODAY have I begotten thee”. This declaration from God to Jesus that was originally there was deleted out of all four of the gospels. Why? For the simple reason that if he BECAME God’s son at his baptism, then he couldn’t be born the incarnation of God Almighty. That would be an obvious contradiction of the church’s false dogma of the incarnation of God.
The roman church added the Prologue of John
The Prologue of John is a forgery! It begins like this:
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by the Logos; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Later in the prologue says the Logos is Jesus:
Joh 1:14 And the Logos was made flesh, and dwelt among us
In essence what it is saying here is that God is the Logos and the Logos took the form of flesh and blood — God almighty incarnate. Therefore “Jesus is God”, supposedly.
The origin of the concept of the Logos
Philo, a Hellenized Jewish biblical philosopher, was the one who introduced the philosophy of the Logos into Judaism in the first century. He was greatly influenced by Platoism. The Greek philosophy of the Logos comes from Socrates and Plato and goes as far back as Heraclitus 500 BC. Somehow this philosophy was absorbed into Christology.
According to Philo, the Logos was God’s “blueprint for the world”. This was the major philosophy of the Roman Empire until the 3rd century with the rise of Christianity. The philosophy of the Logos was NOT originally a Jewish philosophy, much less a Christian one, it was rooted in Greek philosophy.
Philo used philosophical allegory to attempt to fuse and harmonize Greek philosophy with Jewish philosophy. For Philo, the Logos was God’s “blueprint for the world”, a governing plan. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philo)
There is no evidence that Philo was a Christian. Though Philo lived at the same time as Jesus, lived in the same general area and even is known to have visited the temple, Jesus is never once mentioned in any of his writings, which shows he evidently never considered Jesus important enough to have written about him.
If Philo, who introduced the concept of the Logos into Jewish philosophy, considered Jesus to be the Logos of God, he certainly would have written something about it — but not a word. That says that Philo must not have considered Jesus to be the Logos of God.
These facts reveal that the philosophy of the Logos in the prologue of John was a forgery that was tacked onto the beginning of the gospel of John in an effort of the roman church to convert both Greek pagans and unbelieving Jews and to promote the false dogma that Jesus was the incarnation of Almighty God.
