    170) “Isaiah Saw the God Jesus”, John 12:37-41

    “Deity of Christ” believers have claimed that Isaiah saw Jesus, the “second person of the Godhead”, in Isaiah’s vision of God recorded in Isaiah 6. The deity-of-Christ claim is that when John wrote, “Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke of him” (John 12:41) that when Isaiah saw God sitting on his throne in a vision, Isaiah saw Jesus.Did the prophet Isaiah, who claimed the God of Israel was the Father, claim to have seen God the Son and his glory?Or, was John claiming that "his glory" which Isaiah prophetically saw was the glory of the Servant of YHVH God?Resources: Written text of this podcast: https://landandbible.blogspot.com/2026/07/john-1237-45-john-does-not-claim-that.htmlBill Schlegel One God Report: https://www.youtube.com/@billschlegel1The Trinity is NOT Biblical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1VuvKEyB0gDeity of Christ Interpretations of Scripture Dishonor Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2VOKEvGqAwWhat About John 1?

    168) Dwelt in Us, or Dwelt Among Us?

    In this podcast I focus on a few additional interpretive issues of specific words in John 1:14 that mainstream Christians interpret as evidence that God became man.The verb σκηνόω (dwell, tabernacle) is not used of God elsewhere in the Septuagint, while its New Testament occurrences do not naturally support the idea of God incarnating himself in a human body. The traditional translation "dwelt among us" is possible, but it is not the only way to interpret and translate John 1:14. The Greek preposition ἐν ordinarily means "in," and John's Gospel repeatedly uses “in” to describe relationship rather than spatial proximity. John's own usage of "in us," "in me," and "in you" consistently points toward personal relationship, not spatial proximity. John 1:14 can be understood as the Word dwelt “in us”, describing the human person Jesus, the Word, becoming life giving provision and sustenance for others. Such an interpretation fits naturally within John's broader theology of indwelling as a relationship with the Messiah that brings about life.The evidence from John's Gospel, the Septuagint, and the wider New Testament suggests that "the Word dwelt in us" deserves serious consideration as an alternative to the traditional rendering "the Word dwelt among us."An essential doctrinal teaching, something like the incarnation of God into man, should not hang on the interpretation of a single preposition in one verse. Big doctrinal claims require big, consistent, repeated, clear textual evidence. John simply does not say that God, or one person who is God, became man.

    166) What about John 1? (What John 1:1-4 Means)

    This episode argues for anon-Trinitarian, “new beginning” interpretation of John 1:1–4. John’s“beginning” does not refer to Genesis creation or a preexistent divine Christ,but to the beginning of Jesus’ ministry and the gospel message. “the Word” isthe human Jesus functioning as God’s ultimate spokesman and agent, with phraseslike “the Word was with God” and “the Word was God” describing Jesus’ intimaterelationship with and representation of the Father rather than shared divineessence. John 1:3 is better understood and translated as “all happened throughhim,” referring to the events and life-giving work of Jesus’ ministry ratherthan the creation of the universe. John’s introduction is about the new lifeand light which came to be through the historical man Jesus in the firstcentury, not about a pre-incarnate 2nd creator figure, or a personifiedwisdom/plan.   Blog Text: https://landandbible.blogspot.com/2026/05/what-about-john-1-what-john-11-4-means.html
