In all humbleness, I would like to present an understanding of John 1:1 that aligns with the Quran, the Bible and Jesus, himself.
According to the Quran, Jesus came from the REALM OF COMMAND. I would specify, by way of the pre-incarnate word of God, indeed, he did.
According to the Bible, John 1:1 says that “in the beginning;” not before the beginning…or after the beginning, but “in” the beginning the word of God was
According to the testimony of Jesus, himself, in John 8:42 he actuallyconfirms his origins. He is challenging the Jews and said unto them “If God were your Father, ye would love me; for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.”
Research will show, the Greek word ‘exerchomai’ translated here, as “proceeded forth”, has the implication of “to go out” to “spread abroad” to “reverberate or echo forth” as in Rev 16:17 and Rev: 19:5.
However, even more specifically the Greek word ‘ek’ used to define “came from” when researched show a definition defined as “out of” “exiting or emission” “generation or birth” “from the interior or releasing.”
When Jesus is referred to as “the only begotten of God” I maintain that scripture is referring to the moment of creation, in the beginning, when Gods’ word echoed forth from out of him. His word is the only thing that was not created; for his word came forth from within him, was begotten from him, and “through” his word, everything was created as will be shown next.
Most important is this next little preposition “di,” and its’ nearly universal mistranslation, which is yet another attempt to obscure the truth by satan, via the many scribes and translators. In order to propagate the trinity doctrine and, ultimately win worship war, satan must convince souls that Jesus was somehow the creator because, as we all know, only the creator can be worshiped. Research will show that ‘di’ should be properly translated as “through” which is in harmony with all other scripture on this subject. The worlds were not created by the word, but through the word of God.
In summary Jesus is the only begotten of God, because as the pre-incarnant word of God he echoed forth out of God as the manifestation of Gods’ word in the physical world, and through his word, God “said” let there be light.
Further, God did not become a man…his word became flesh.
