The Word

"In the beginning
was the Word" -- 
The lonely Word.
The caring Word.
The sharing Word -- 
Wanting more
Spoke into creation.
The fuller Word.
The Living Word.

Just a note, again I have never said that I know much, even anything. This work is a poetic expression for what I feel in my heart. There is the God we know...and the unknowable God. A God beyond mortal comprehension. This is the God aspect referenced in this work. I Am that I Am. Always was. Have no beginning have no end. This statement does not contradict biblical teaching...maybe interpretation but not teaching. God has no beginning nor end. Word is an aspect of God. Creation, as we understand it, is not the beginning nor end of God.

Why would He need to create something to bring glory and honor to Him? I would think that He already felt and had all that. I have children, not to bring me glory and honor, not because wanted was something in my image...simply for loving companionship. I serve out of pure love, a high of realization...not because I am commanded to serve. My God is not a tyrant. I respect your beliefs...what works for me may not work for you and others. This was not written to change anyone's religion nor faith. God does not need our help to defeat Satan. With a blink of the eye He could wipe Satan out of existence. It is far more complex than that.

In John 1:1 it talks about the trinity. Which is so wonderful to know. The Word was never (lonely). The Word (Jesus Christ) was with God and was God, implying a divine communion and never a solitary existence. I just wanted to share that with you. Congratulations Joe, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. : ) Hugs, Brandy

I was thinking of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit as the Trinity. Thanks Tommy, for all your information. : )

Hi, Tom. In 2 Cor 4:4, in the NLT, the Bible calls Satan ' god of this world. In the KJV and NKJV, Satan is called the ' god of this age. ' I see the Trinity in Gen 1:26- Then God said, “ Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness. " The words ' Us and Our ' clarify that. Just wanted to share that with you.

Hi Joe, sharing a little more to help you understand. God created mankind- ' For His Glory: to reflect God's image and to bring glory and honor to Him. For Relationship and Fellowship: God, being love, desired reciprocal love and fellowship with beings created in His image. To Know, Love, and Worship God: Humans are capable of knowing, loving, serving, and worshiping God, which is a central purpose of their existence. To Exercise Dominion: In the Genesis account, God gave humans the task of cultivating and ruling over the earth, acting as His representatives and stewards. To Fulfill His Plan: Humanity is part of God's larger plan. To defeat Satan, which He did through His death and resurrection and, to establish His kingdom.

3 divine in one. Is not one alone? Needs deeper thought and understanding. If divinity was complete, in the sense of enough...why man? And to say, He wanted to share the wealth...why? If all was complete. Needs deeper revelation. Perhaps man then in God, equals one? Are we separate or one? Maybe loneliness is part of one. Does not belittle nor take away from the whole. With man it is up, down, sideways...with God it is all directions at once. All places at once. God is magnificently difference from us...yet He is like us. If I can feel it, it is a feeling He also possesses. Nothing exists outside of God. We exist in the Body of God...know Him through the Brotherhood of Christ.

Thank you, Anaya; I truly appreciate the support. God is the word, and the Word is God. To my mind, The Word far exceeds mortal understanding...far beyond speech. The Word is eternal, and incomprehensible in scope and magnificence.
