Torah = Word

[kofh2u]

Jesus said he came to fulfill the "Law."

So what is the problem with the concept of logos?

John1:1
1In the beginning was the Word, (unwritten Scripture), and the Word, (now the Bible), was with God (only, unknown to men), and the Word, (our only medium by which to know God), was God. 2He, (the living Word), was with God in the beginning.

unfortunately, we can't just add words to the Bible as we see fit and hope to get the intended meaning.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

I don't think it has ANY problems with the Logos Doctrine. I believe that Christ came to Earth to fulfill the Law, because in reality he IS the Law.

I'm working on that theory though.

IMO especially those seeped in the jargon and traditional form of discussion will/do abhor the direct, in context, wholeness of bracketing one's interpretation of bible verse.

Nevertheless, the clear separation by brackets of bible text from the offered interpretation is hardly different from the traditional side by side commentary.

It also has the benefit of brevity, if the wisdom is not clearly evident. It avoids the "selling" of an interpretation parceled in as commentary.

But especially, as a means, a vehicle, a messenger of the ideas presented it ought not be attack in lieu of responding to the point made, unless it is so effective in iy concise illumination that the reader is rendered speechlessness.

IMO the audience for this different, if not new and original method of presentation is not the trained theology teacher/student nor thevlong practiced debater of hard to "sell" doctrines and estsblished pat answers.

The exercise of this technique here on Tweb is a precursor to proseltyzing the informed members of the ever growing science community, especial young college attending members. This is an audience already well aware of the traditional methods of "salvation." So, the novelty, directness, and unorthodox presentation has the intended asset of surprise and to the point brevity.

Again, IMO.

But I must add that it is encouraging to find such astute experts as found on Tweb totally unable to counter the ideas presented with anything but an attitude of superiority emphasized by failed ostrascism.

Yes, it seems abundantly clear.
