Our God is One GOD



It is not just a repudiation of the then culturally multi-God worldview.

It is also a preview of the reality to be more fully be revealed later - the Persons of the One GOD [Father, Son, Spirit]

My recent studies lead me to suggest that when we read the Gospels (specifically John) the we read it putting an emphasis on the words differently.

If you re-read the Gospels with the thought in mind that it is largely about Jesus claiming that He has authority above the Romans and above the Jewish leadership then the message is astonishing.

John's Gospel, for example, is largely formulated as a court case with evidence presented as to who Jesus is, or said otherwise - His authority.

If you re-read the Gospels keeping the thought in mind that it is evidence of the Authority of Jesus because of who He is, you just might make some cool new discoveries!
