to know exactly where else lord spoke to moses

guest PUBLIC Thursday, January 19, 2012 2:40:18 AM

IT BRINGS US TO THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF WHO GOD REALLY IS.HE IS THE WORD AND HE WORD IS LIFE.WE CANNOT DENY OR LIBERATE THE WORD FROM OUR LIFE.WE MUST SEEK TO APPLY THE WORD TO OUR LIFE SITUATIONS AND RECOGNIZE THAT IN DOING SO WE ARE IN ACTUALITY PUTTING GOD IN CONTROL.IF GOD IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END THEN IT MEANS THAT OUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE IS TIED UP IN HIM. NO WORD, NO GOD. NO GOD NO LIFE.JUST A THOUGHT.

TO KNOW THE LORD, IS THE GREATER OF THE END, NOT TO SEEK HIS HAND BUT HIS FACE

guest PUBLIC Thursday, December 31, 2009 1:01:55 PM

The Word is the very foundation of all that exists. It indicates when, where and what (character) is the Word. Life originated because of the Word. Life sustains because of the Word. Life must move towards the likeness of the Word.

almamartinez PUBLIC Friday, May 22, 2009 12:48:36 AM

This scripture tells us that Jesus is the Word of God made flesh, given life.

zdalhatu PUBLIC Wednesday, March 18, 2009 1:30:01 AM

This verse makes emphasis on the word;The word...was(OUR FOUNDATION,OUR BEGINNING)...is(OUR LIFE,LIVING)and...is to come(OUR FUTURE,OUR DESTINY and most definately another beginning)May the word of God dwell in us RICHLY!

GOD IS THE WORD. THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS ALL THAT EXISTED BEFORE THE WORLD WAS EVEN FORMED. IT WAS BY HIS WORD THAT ALL THINGS CAME INTO EXISTENCE. HE JUST SPOKE AND WHATEVER HE SPOKE THAT IS WHAT APPEARED.

This is the essence of the truth of who Jesus is. It proves that Jesus was and is, God in the flesh. I tells me emphatically that Jesus and God are one. The Word (with a capital W) refers to Jesus. Further reading does clarify that and does tell me that Jesus participated in the beginning, in creation. He was and is here, the world didn't comprehend Him then, nor does it comprehend Him now. It also tells us the good news that Jesus is Lord. (it is hard to just talk about one verse to get the full understanding, but I tried.)

ewilson60 PUBLIC Sunday, October 19, 2003 10:29:09 AM

If we want to understand who Jesus is, John says, we must begin with the relationship shared between the Father and the Son "before the world began" (Jn 17:5, 24). Note the parallel between the beginning in Gen 1:1 and the beginning in John 1:1. God is awesome in how He caused our scriptures to 'hang together' There are so MANY nuggets to glean from Just this passage alone. I was required (gently) to study this chapter when I first accepted Christ because I needed to know who it is that I serve to cement my relationship with Him. This cinched it for me... He was, is, and always will be...the I AM...of scripture, so it is with my life..

I like this verse becauseit teaches me the importance of the word of God and that God is the word and the word was with God all the time.

This verse says to me that Jesus knows all about our lives. he understands the things we go through because he lived on earth and was a man, therefore he can comfort us because hes actually been in our shoes.

I love this verse because it definately ministers to the diety of our Father in Jesus and Jesus in the Father and we in Jesus and Jesus in us since the beginnging of time. It testifies to the gospel of John prayer in Chapter 17. And the mystery has been revealed to me mathemathically. In this 1x1x1=1 and if I were to rewrite this book, I would rewrite it in its entirety 1x1x1x1x1x1x1x1x, 1x1x....ect. =1 aman shulamite

amyevone PUBLIC Monday, August 19, 2002 4:20:45 PM

To be honest I dont really understand this scripture? The bible says that God is Love also in 1 john 4:8 so I think that it is a characteristic of who God is.

[Proverbs 16:24] This verse tells me how to behave in every day life. It reminds me that even when I am upset by others or others are upset and direct their rage at me, I can turn the situation around simply by behaving in a Christian way.

negii PUBLIC Monday, November 12, 2001 6:48:19 AM

It to me is a conmormation of Gen.1:1 This is my first time using this system.

guest PUBLIC Sunday, November 11, 2001 6:19:56 PM

[John 1]I love this verse because, it lets me know that if I have a problem in my life. I know who can help me with any issues that I have. Before we had problems God was the beginning and God was the word. So as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. I have peace and his mercy is all that I need in these last days that we live in.

clady PUBLIC Saturday, November 03, 2001 9:22:51 AM

Because it tells us the God is the Word and you can trust the word of God if you read.

guest PUBLIC Friday, October 26, 2001 4:54:32 PM

it show the trinity all in one.

guest PUBLIC Thursday, October 18, 2001 8:20:22 AM

This speaks of the benefit of God's mercy. Sometimes you hear the Lord speak because He speaks to our needs by His mercy. Not by any good thing that we have done. God offers peace to us. Peace that is kept through holiness.

christians are to be in the world (AS GODS AGENTS TO EFFECT CHANGE IN OTHERS )but not to partake of the realm of the world that satan controls.let every child of GOD BE THE LIGHT THAT GOD CALLS US TO BE BY STRIVING TO LIVE AS HE LIVED THE LIFE BEFORE US.

vonnie PUBLIC Thursday, September 06, 2001 2:02:11 PM

before time existed...

When I attempt to calculate the full meaning of this verse; I am convinced that it is beyond my scope of understanding in its entirety. In the beginning was the Word. Before time was created was the word. Since the beginning the word has been. It has always exsisted and always will. The word was with God because the Word was God. God is his word. It is with him and will continue to be with him forever. forever. I cannot begin to grasp the length of time that occupies. Infinite.

pirlee PUBLIC Monday, August 13, 2001 7:45:01 PM

I like this verse because it tells that the Word was (existed) even before the creation of the world or man. If you look it this verse it is telling us that Jesus was and is the Word. It gives us reason and incentive to study the bible since it tells us that "Word was God", then we have to study in order to get God. The more we study "The Word" the more it is revealed to us who we are and the authority that we have when we stand on "The Word" and it also tells us what the "Will of the Word (God)" is for us.

guest PUBLIC Friday, July 27, 2001 1:15:47 AM

It shoes how powerful and awesome GOD really is, His word alone has power.

shirley PUBLIC Saturday, June 23, 2001 9:26:45 AM

In the beginning is a refrence for me for man kind to understand that before anything was he already was, before anything we see or understand such as time and space, he already existed in eternity,time is for man,God created time but he is not effected by it;[2 Peter 3:8]if one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years as one day to the lord then he lives in a place without time; it tells me that the word,that was spoken before time was Christ; and that he made everything.It says that in him was life and without him we have no life.

sallylim36 PUBLIC Tuesday, November 14, 2000 5:10:48 AM

the word,"in the beginning" tells us that God existed before creation. His word spoken from his mouth brings life and the word is from Jesus Christ, God himself.

bob PUBLIC Monday, August 14, 2000 9:16:38 AM

man is an finate being, with God being an infinate. therefore it is hard to grasp the idea of "in the begining". This is something that must be taken on fath alone.

mjkjaj PUBLIC Sunday, March 26, 2000 10:55:42 PM

To me it echos [Gen.1:1] and establishes that God was in the beginning and opens my mind to the concept of The Word being God and the Word is explained later on to be Christ as well. Christ and God are one, and were one in the very beginning. Christ is timeless and this verse reaffirms that fact to me.

I like this scripture because it lets us know that there is life in God's word. In the beginning was the word and the word was God. If you believe it you shall receive it. The bible says that heaven and earth shall pass away but my word will stand forever. So there is life in God's word.

The first chapter of John is not for new borns, as it requires great faith to understand. God has always existed, He is outside of time. Time was created for man, not God. Jesus is the Word of God, who became flesh.(see [John 1:14]) When God said, Let There Be Light, it was Jesus who made it, as He is the Word of God.

jlim, read Genesis 1:1-3. There you will find the records of what happened in the beginning. You will see God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit. They were all there in the beginning. Who spoke the word? Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

jlim PUBLIC Monday, December 06, 1999 1:49:38 PM

[ Answers: 6 ] Where was the voice that spoke the Word? Was the mouth formed in the beginning? To me, this shows that some things in the Book cannot be taken literally, but metaphorically.
