Bill Schlegel | John 1 “Beginning” is NOT Genesis 1 “Beginning“ #trinity #Jesus, #bible @billschlegel1 | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
The Gospel of John starts with the phrase, “In the beginning”. But this “beginning” is not the same “beginning” as Genesis 1. While being an intentional parallel to the Genesis beginning, John 1 describes a different beginning, a “new beginning” that God brings about through the man Christ Jesus.
John’s first verses use Genesis creation words like, “light” and “darkness”, but these are not the “light” and “darkness” of Genesis.
In Genesis, light comes before life. But in John 1:4 it is exactly the opposite: life comes first, and then light.
The darkness in John 1:5 is not the darkness of Genesis 1.
John the Baptizer is in verse 6 of a Genesis creation account?
