John 1:1-5
New King James Version

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

I thought I would walk through the Gospel of John once again and maybe making a couple of comments on things that raised a question to me. "HOWEVER" this morning my poor ole "P" brain just is not hitting on all cylinders and I am very much afraid that I will totally misrepresent anything I may be thinking. So, the the beginning of John, just those 1st 5 verses say so much and can raise so many questions. A lot of folks doubt that the Scriptures are really what they are, for "ME" I believe they are the actual words of God sent to us through His carriers. It is faith that carries the believer through. I have learned that looking up a Hebrew or Greek word to find its actual meaning , will change the way one understands the Scripture. I suppose in those 1st 5 verses lay enough material that a preacher or priest could talk on this for 5 or 6 Sundays. Like I said my lil ole brain just is not working all that good this morning, but just for starters "In The Beginning"----the beginning is eternity past. In the beginning carries us back to the 1st chapter in Genesis----"In the beginning God". A quick thought here then I gotta stop for this morning before I put my foot in my mouth....There are many who totally disagree with the creation story because Science says different, then the hard core Bible folks say, the Bible says this and this is just the way it is. Now this is just me and my belief---I believe God works through science, I believe they work hand in hand, now some say Hog-Wash. But either side of this subject is the question--- has the science really studied Scripture to understand? Also has the Christian ever really studied the Scripture to see if it supports science? HUMM, big question on both sides of the subject. I am still in my thoughts, which is my opinion, and we all understand opinions, don't we? Once I got to where I had a grip on the creation story, once I believed the beginning, then all the rest of the Scriptures were a piece of cake. Once I believed the beginning, then faith carried me through...Once in my mind I understood Genesis 1, then all of the Gospel of John could open itself up. My next post will cover my thoughts on this very beginning story. Like I said my poor ole mind is just not hitting on all cylinders this morning, really surprised I got this far.

I suppose Monday's offer challenges to us all, but here is hoping you folks have a very good week & God Bless
