[TruthTalk] The Mind of Christ

[Judy Taylor]

jt: In Vs.6 Jesus says "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father but by Me If ye had  known Me ye should have known My Father also" and he goes on to say "and from henceforth, ye know Him and have seen Him".   Jesus speaks these words to His disciples in the Upper Room - They validate my assertion that Jesus is the "Eternal Word" rather than the "Eternal Son" - What does Jesus mean when He speaks of "seeing and knowing the Father through Himself?" Were they to see His fleshly image or his title? I don't think so, He goes on to explain in Vs.10   "the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself; but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works' sake.  Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works thatn these shall he do, because I go unto my Father.....   So - it's not about "experience" - it's about words...or more specifically "The Word" reread the Parable of the Sower.   On Sun, 26 Dec 2004 10:41:23 -0500 "Slade Henson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Izzy, you seem to be making a paraphrase of John 14:7. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Here's is my understanding of the passage. For those who think I'm swallowing a camel, please double check your Strong's. Perhaps it can verify or vilify the reading: --slade If you knew me, you would have known my Father also; and from now on, you know Him and have experienced Him.   ShieldsFamily wrote:  I fail to see the importance of it.  When you see the Son you see the Father. They are One. So what’s your earthshaking point??? Izzy ================================================ Exactly what my wife and I have been wondering Iz.  Bill is either straining at gnats, or so far ahead of me that I cannot begin to see what he sees.
