It is not popular to say it, but the English translations of John 1:1 say that “The Word was God””. (The “JW” version says “The Word was A God”, but we’ll skip over that idiocy for now.)
The order of the words in the Greek text is different from the English order. The Greek word order is:
“God was The Word”.
The implications of that word order, and of that statement, are mind boggling!
John 1:1
The opening verse of John’s Gospel, John 1:, says in words what the “numbers” and Letter Values”, i.e. the Greek “Gematria” in the verse say:
The Mathematics and the Words are describing the Exponential Function, and the Mathematical Constant, “e”, which is the base of what we know as the “Natural” or “Napierian” Logarithm.
The Exponential Function is special for lots of reasons. One of those reasons is that its “Differential”, as in “Diferential Calculus” is itself. In other “words” (pardon the pun !) God is the Word, or the Word is God, or “THEOS is the LOGOS”.
See the Post on this website showing the equation for the Diferential of the Exponential Function being “itself.
John 1:1 forms a “base” for Genesis 1:1 – when the Mathematics of the two verses, one in Hebrew, one in Greek, combine to form the 112th Triangular Number, linked to the 112 Triplets that “hang off” the Magic Cube of 42.
The combination of the two verses contains accurate figures (accurate to several decimal places) for several mathematical constants, including the Fine Structure Constant which is “essential” to the structure of the Universe. That constant HAS TO BE accurate to over 50 decimal places. Otherwise the Universe will either collapse on itself or disintegrate. This give some indication as to how detailed the information and the science in the Bible really is. Forget all the “crap” about conflict between Science and Religion.
Yes there IS conflict because that is what “they” want you to think – hey fiddle the Science, the fiddle the Religion.
But there is strong agreement between The Bible and Science.
And forget the nonsense about the Universe being only 6,000 years old. God taught Moses how to calculate the age of the Universe. It comes out as 15.3 billion years, which is in line with the top end of NASA’s estimates.
That is Jesus’ 153 large fish at the end of the Gospels, in case you did not spot the connection.
All this science and all this info are “packaged” with the Gospel treatment of WORDS, and of Jesus, whom the Gospels call the LOGOS (written word).
