The GREAT NEWS is that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and HE is capable of teaching us Truth apart from man.Unfortunately, English is not as concise as Greek is. The English word "word" is used to translate all five of these Greek words: λογος/λογω, λογον, ρημα/ρηματι, and maybe even more.
In the Koine Greek NT, λογος/λογω is for Christ, ρημα/ρηματι is for the spoken word, and λογον is for the written/recorded/memorized/spoken word.
For example, when Heb 4:2 mentions that "the Word of God is living", it is λογος that is written in the Greek. Last time I checked, my Bible did not have a pulse.
(Heb 4:12) For the Word (λογος) of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing apart of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
So tell me, where do you see the conspiracy? You see, all paranoia evaporates when one consults the Koine Greek text.
Care to address my OP or will you skip over it again?
As for your OP, I can do a similar study of the Koine Greek OT & NT word "κυριος" if you wish, time permitting. I'm sure I'll come to a non-paranoid conclusion again.
let's look at verse 1 first. "and the Word was with God" this ends any trinity, or unitarian view in their tracks. for
A. how was the Word with God and yet is God? without any doubt ..... he is God.
B. if God, how is he Alone as "GOD".
101G has the answer in God himself. "ECHAD". Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:" THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST MISSED UNDERSTOOD VERSE IN THE BIBLE. know the ECHAD one knows if God is a trinity or not.

That is not how He works.
When it says you have no need for someone to teach you because you have the anointing? 1 John 2:27
That means after someone communicates God's message to you? You do not need a man to tell you what to think about that that man of God showed you.
If you honestly think about? Its terribly ironic that John had to tell them that they had no need for a man to teach them, while the man 'John' was needed to tell them that!
I know what you said. I also understand what "anointing" means......i SEE you do not understand Jesus words as posted for you.
Here it is again - take another look.
Matthew 11:25-30
At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [f]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
John 6:43-45
Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’
Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.
God speaks thru Holy men to men but it is God who reveals the Truth to our spirits.
This is why the Apostle John said: "But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him"
"The ANOINTING" - learn all about HIM in Gospel of John and Acts
Everyone fails to see what the Word teaches unless they receive from God.I know what you said. I also understand what "anointing" means......
Those who failed to see what the Word teaches, and think that all you need is a Bible and to get alone with God, soon becomes a one man cult.
It also says He has given us pastor-teachers -TO TEACH us! Ephesians 4:11-12
AND? I know this, as well as, Isaiah 29:10 "For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered." Isaiah 29:11 "And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:" Isaiah 29:12 "And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned."SEE Post #22
Everyone fails to see what the Word teaches unless they receive from God.
God is both willing and active in teaching us according to His Word.
"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words
Why argue against His words?
no man can teach u/us. only he who is in the MAN teaches us. the man is only an "ANOINTED" vessel used by God to teach.I am not arguing against his words.
What astounds me? Is if you truly believe we should have no need for any man to teach us?
Then why are you here trying to teach us?
You are contradicting what you claim you believe, and what you say we should believe, when you try to teach us.
#1 - i never said we are islands unto ourselves = you brought that up.I am not arguing against his words.

I know that. You know that.no man can teach u/us. only he who is in the MAN teaches us. the man is only an "ANOINTED" vessel used by God to teach.
we have a unction in the Holy Spirit. 1 John 2:20 "But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things." For the Holy Ghost/Spirit will guide us in all things. HOW?
1 Corinthians 2:12 "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God." 1 Corinthians 2:13 "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." 1 Corinthians 2:14 "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Corinthians 2:15 "But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." 1 Corinthians 2:16 "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."

OK - GREATI know that. You know that.
Apparently, those who think its "only me and my bible" do not know that.
#1 - i never said we are islands unto ourselves = you brought that up.
#2 - God knows everyone of His sons and He formed His Body by joining us together into One Body = the Body of Christ
#3 - Our Heavenly Father knows what we have need of - even before we ask Him.
Ephesians 4:11-16
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the [e]edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
Thank you Brother and Peace and Blessing in Christ to you as well.I was just not sure where you were standing. Reason being? Seen too many in forums who believe all they need is the Holy Spirit and their Bible. Ending up with what they want to believe is from God, and its all that matters. The reason why? "They have the Holy Spirit. "
I was hoping to get you to make your stand clear as to where you stand.
Looks like its been a success.
grace and peace .............
6Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
Correct, now may 101G ask, is not the Holy Spirit the Lord Jesus? is not the Lord Jesus the TRUTH?The GREAT NEWS is that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and HE is capable of teaching us Truth apart from man.
the FATHER is TruthCorrect, now may 101G ask, is not the Holy Spirit the Lord Jesus? is not the Lord Jesus the TRUTH?
