Isn't that a modern Einsteinium interpretation?
That was not a concept in those days. With no beginning of days would mean infinite.
I question if Mel is Christ.

Logos had a well known meaning when the Gospel of John was written.
_____
Logos (UK /ˈloʊɡɒs/, /ˈlɒɡɒs/, or US /ˈloʊɡoʊs/; Greek: λόγος, from λέγω lego "I say") is an important term in philosophy, psychology, rhetoric, and religion. Originally a word meaning "a ground", "a plea", "an opinion", "an expectation", "word", "speech", "account", "to reason" it became a technical term in philosophy, beginning with Heraclitus (ca. 535–475 BC), who used the term for a principle of order and knowledge.

I see no problem at all for me.
I see a big problem for anyone that wants to deny the meaning of the word as it was used by the writer.
Yes, the scriptures do claim that Jesus possesses the divine nature and the godhead dwells within Him.
There is no problem with that.
The only time there is a problem is when you try to claim that the Bible says the Father and the Son are the same being.
It does not.
Read the verse again.
Matthew 16:16-18
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Please notice that Peter did not say Jesus is "the living God," but instead Peter said Jesus is "the Son of the living God."
There is a huge difference in those two phrases.
The rock that the church was built on is that Jesus is the Son of God.
Please pay more attention to the actual words that were inspired by the Holy Spirit.
John 1 clearly says the Word was God
Revelation 19 calls this being the Word of God. Whose robe would be dropped in blood? Wasn't Jesus crucified? Who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords?
The "fancy linguists" is Joseph Henry Thayer and the words came from Thayer's Greek Lexicon
I question if Mel is Christ.
It does not matter what meaning was had for the Logos, the actual word that were inspired [with a view to stitch you up] is
HE was in the beginning with God and HE was God and HE made all things and the Logos became flesh and blood and dwelled among us.
John 1:3-4 3 All things were made by αὐτός; and without αὐτός was not any thing made that was made. 4 In αὐτός was life; and the life was the light of men. |
You should try reading what he wrote instead of making up things about someone you don't even know about.Joseph-Henry-Thayer said nothing about the Logos becoming flesh and dwelling among us. Or His being God
You don't know what you are talking about.
John 1:3-4
3 All things were made by αὐτός; and without αὐτός was not any thing made that was made.
4 In αὐτός was life; and the life was the light of men.
αὐτός autos Strongs G846
The KJV translates Strongs G846 in the following manner: him (1,952x), his (1,084x), their (318x), he (252x), her (242x), they (121x), same (80x), himself (58x), misc (1,678x).
If the word αὐτός can be translated as "her" 242 times, then it should be obvious that we can't rely on the word αὐτός having been translated as "him" in that verse.
Twaddle, John piles it on
He was with God, He was God, He was in the world , the world was made by Him...what was that some kind of blue print plan?
In seeking to be wise you people make yourselves foolish
It was witnessed in the first century that Melchizedek lives.
Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives. (Hebrews 7:8 NKJV)
Melchizedek is contrasted with mortal men.
Who really is Mel? He was king of Salem...
Who really is Mel? He was king of Salem, he was high priest, but what do we really know about him?
1 This ‘King Melchizedek of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham as he was returning from defeating the kings and blessed him’;
2 and to him Abraham apportioned ‘one-tenth of everything’. His name, in the first place, means ‘king of righteousness’; next he is also king of Salem, that is, ‘king of peace’.
3 Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest for ever.
You could easily replace the word "He" in those verses with the word "It", "She", or "They" and still have a valid English translation of the Greek in that passage.Twaddle, John piles it on

The Jews have elevated minor points of the Torah into major life changing doctrines.In seeking to be wise you people make yourselves foolish

The Jews have elevated minor points of the Torah into major life changing doctrines.
They take a couple of verses that say you are not to "seethe a kid in its mother's milk" into a prohibition against eating any kind of meat with any kind of dairy to the point that they even use two sets of dishes to keep them apart.
That is foolishness.
Many Christians have elevated a minor points in the Gospel of John into major doctrines.
They concentrate so hard on trying to make those points prove the doctrine of the Trinity that they completely miss out on the real reason for the writing of the Gospel.
That is also foolishness.
John 20:31
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Believe that Jesus is the Messiah (Christ), the Son of God.
There is no other belief that you need in order to have life through His name.

You do not believe He is God's Son, you believe He is Mary's son.
It doesn't matter what your fancy linguist says...the Logos who was God became flesh and dwelt among us...that totally negates your point.
No, I believe Jesus is the Son of God.You do not believe He is God's Son
Actually, that proves my point.It doesn't matter what your fancy linguist says...the Logos who was God became flesh and dwelt among us...that totally negates your point.
No, I believe Jesus is the Son of God.
You are the one that doesn't want to admit that Jesus is the Son of God.
Actually, that proves my point.
The Logos, God's expectation, became flesh.
Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, in whom God was well pleased, was the physical manifestation of everything God expected from His creation of man.
