Anything the hierarchy of the religious organizations on the Earth they don’t have a way of explaining they say it’s a mystery. Will you show me any mystery in the Bible name one the Trinity is not a mystery. It’s a man-made dogma by the Catholic Church. Use John 1:1 they’re only two people there. John 14 I will give you an explanation for in just a second.
John 1:14
flesh: Or “ahuman being.”The Greekword sarx ishere used inthe sense of aphysical being,a living beingwith flesh.When Jesuswas born as ahuman, hewas no longera spirit. He didnot merelyassume afleshly body,as angels haddone in thepast. (Ge 18:1-3; 19:1; Jos5:13-15)Therefore,Jesus couldrightly callhimself “theSon of man.” —Joh 1:51; 3:14;see study noteon Mt 8:20.
the Wordbecame flesh:Jesus wasentirelyhuman fromhis birth untilhis death.Jesusexplained thepurpose of hisbecomingflesh when hesaid: “Thebread that Iwill give is myflesh in behalfof the life ofthe world.”(Joh 6:51) Inaddition, onlybecause Jesuswas whollyhuman couldhe experiencewhat humansof flesh andbloodexperienceand thusbecome asympatheticHigh Priest.(Heb 4:15)Jesus couldnot have beenhuman anddivine at thesame time; theScriptures saythat he “wasmade a littlelower thanangels.” (Heb2:9; Ps 8:4, 5;see study noteon flesh inthis verse.)However, notall agreed thatJesus hadcome in theflesh. Forexample, theGnostics, whobelieved thatknowledge(Greek, gnoʹsis)could begained in amystical way,combinedGreekphilosophyand Orientalmysticism withapostateChristianteachings.They held thatall physicalmatter is evil.For thatreason, theytaught thatJesus did notcome in theflesh but onlyseemed tohave a humanbody. An earlyform ofgnosticismwasapparentlyprevalent atthe end of thefirstcentury C.E.,so John maybe making aspecific pointwhen hewrites that“the Wordbecame flesh.”In his letters,John warnsagainst thefalse teachingthat Jesus didnot come “inthe flesh.” —1Jo 4:2, 3;2Jo 7.
resided: Lit.,“tented.” Somehave taken thestatement thatthe Word‘resided, ortented, amongus’ to meanthat Jesus was,not a truehuman, but anincarnation.However,Peter used therelated nounthat isrendered“tabernacle,”or “tent,” whenhe spoke ofhis own fleshlybody as atemporarydwelling place.(2Pe 1:13; ftn.)Though Peterknew that hisdeath wasnear and thathisresurrectionwould be inthe spirit, notin the flesh, hewas notindicating thathe was anincarnation. —2Pe 1:13-15;see also 1Co15:35-38, 42-44; 1Jo 3:2.
we had a viewof his glory:In Jesus’ lifeand ministry,John and theother apostlessaw a glory, asplendor ormagnificence,that could bedisplayed onlyby someonewho perfectlyreflected thequalities ofJehovah. Inaddition, theapostle John,along withJames andPeter,witnessed thetransfigurationof Jesus. (Mt17:1-9; Mr 9:1-9; Lu 9:28-36)So John mayhere havealluded notonly to Jesus’reflection ofGod’s qualitiesbut also to thetransfigurationvision that hadoccurred morethan 60 yearsearlier. Thisevent alsomade a lastingimpression onthe apostlePeter, whowrote hisletters about30 yearsbefore Johnwrote hisGospel. Peterspecificallyreferred to thetransfigurationas amarvelousconfirmationof “thepropheticword.” —2Pe1:17-19.
an only-begotten son:The Greekwordmo·no·ge·nesʹ,traditionallytranslated“only-begotten,” hasbeen definedas “the onlyone of its kind;one and only;unique.” TheBible uses theterm indescribing therelation ofsons anddaughters totheir parents.(See studynotes on Lu7:12; 8:42;9:38.) In theapostle John’swritings, thisterm is usedexclusively ofJesus (Joh 3:16,18; 1Jo 4:9) butnever aboutJesus’ humanbirth orexistence as aman. Instead,John uses theterm todescribe Jesusin hisprehumanexistence asthe Logos, orthe Word, theone who “wasin thebeginningwith God,”even “beforethe worldwas.” (Joh1:1, 2; 17:5, 24)Jesus is the“only-begottenson” becausehe wasJehovah’sFirstborn andthe only onecreateddirectly byGod. Whileother spiritcreatures arelikewise called“sons of thetrue God” or“sons of God”(Ge 6:2, 4; Job1:6; 2:1; 38:4-7), all thosesons werecreated byJehovahthrough thatfirstborn Son(Col 1:15, 1
