The Last Gospel.
It's a wonderful verse, it says that God and His Word are one and the same!
The Gospel of John was written after the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke.
Your title suggests that G-d is dead. YHvH was, is and will always be.
The title demonstrates either
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
poor communication skills
or fuzzy theology. Exd 3:14 Elohim said to Moses,
He created our time and space.
"I AM WHO I AM"; and He said,
"Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel,
'I AM has sent me to you.' "
He has no human bounds.
For centuries the at the end of every mass this passage from john was read. It is called the last gospel in the missal. It is perhaps the most sublime language in the bible (not necess this translation tho). Everyone kneels at the words “et verbum caro factum est.”. Why this was removed from the mass at VII I have no idea.
Thanks for the comment. I totally agree. except that the title is a direct quote from the gospel of John. Not really any fuzzy theology there.
When ripped out of context,
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
it runs the risk of teaching a
misleading and false gospel.
May you know Him. YHvH's blessing on you.
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
Just as you don’t judge a book by it’s cover niether should you judge a column by it’s title.
