In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

This is one of my favorite verses. This single sentence contains several key doctrinal statements, as well as several intriguing ideas.

  1. Jesus was not a created being.
  2. Jesus was with God at the creation.
  3. Jesus was/is God.
  4. The "bonus" manly ideal that "a man's word is his bond".

and all that from a single sentence.
