Join me on this journey. Let's seek the truth together! 💡 Proverbs 8:34-36 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts. For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh. But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.” Psalm 84: 11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly. 12 Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you. 1 John 5:5 Now who is the one overcoming the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God.

1 John 1:1, the deception, false translations, and truth!

Infographic examining 1 John 1:1, comparing Bible translations, the original Greek text, and the biblical meaning of the Word of Life.

Does 1 John 1:1 really teach that Jesus personally existed from the beginning? This study examines the original Greek text, compares Bible translations, and explores what John actually meant by "the Word of Life."

Trinitarians often interpret 1 John 1:1 as referring to John 1:1, linking it to Jesus as the logos. However, this interpretation is disputed. 

Berean Literal Bible 1 John 1:1:

That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life--

1 John 1:1 actually refers to the apostles' firsthand experience with Jesus, emphasizing their eyewitness testimony. 

"That which was from the beginning" refers to Jesus' ministry and the apostles' experience with Him. - "We have heard, seen, and handled" highlights the apostles' direct observation of Jesus' life and miracles. 

This aligns with 2 Peter 1:16, where Peter asserts they were "eyewitnesses of His majesty".  

The focus is on the apostles' personal testimony, establishing the credibility of the message.
