BEAUTIFUL! Happy to learn these because John is one of my Favorite of The Apostles. When I was a teen, I was moved deeply by the fact John leaned on Jesus' bosom, therefore he was able actually to hear the "heartbeat of God!" I prayed to be that close to Jesus myself! Many years later, it is one prayer God has answered and is answering still! Not with frivolity or naivete but through deep pain and the sweet fellowship that comes through decades of relationship!

I'm glad that you made this video; about a month or so ago, as I was studying scripture... the Holy Spirit gave me revelation to John (the Apostle) being Jesus other cousin. I was STUNNED! Like you, I went back to reading the very same scriptures and 'mapping' out the women, and Salome stood out as Mary's (Jesus' mom) sister. I do not see how this would be a 'bad' thing since, Hebrew people are a family minded culture and keep close; as you said, it's a minor detail and not one that brings 'salvation', but more of a fun fact factor. Keep up the great work. Shalom.

It's interesting to find that St. John and St. James could both be cousins of Jesus. It would certainly explain the close connection between them.

So John the one Jesus loved, was his nephew or cousin wasn’t he? The mother of John the BAPTIST was Jesus’s Mother, Mary’s AUNT, or so I gathered, from reading the gospels. I’m glad you did too. The Opening of Johns gospel is my favorite! It’s so spot on, descriptive, and helps me understand a difficult concept. It says ‘He was with God.’ I love it as is. The word is perfect. It doesn’t need one iota.

It should be pointed out that almost everybody living around the Galilee during this time was either reading an Aramaic or a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. It wasn't until after the destruction of the second temple that Jewish scholars recommitted themselves to writing down the Old testament in the original Hebrew. In fact, at the time that Jesus lived very few Jews actually read or spoke Hebrew any longer. They were either speaking Aramaic or Greek.

Agreed, there are references to “brothers of Jesus” in the gospels. These were His first cousins, sons of St. Mary’s sister. The Virgin Mary remained a virgin and never married after Joseph, that is why John was entrusted to take care of her after Jesus died on the cross. There are a number of early church history documents to support this claim. May our Lord bless your ministry

I love and appreciate this unique perspective on John. There is less evidence of this Greek influence than your tradition-based seminary approach which is centuries old regurgitation of this Greek/Roman preference over Hebrew. These were all Hebrews, steeped in the Jewish culture of Judea, who spoke Hebrew, to other Hebrews. Jews were (are) a stiff-necked, stubborn people. Greek was certainly NOT their primary anything. John 1:1-2 is VERY HEBREW. It connects to Torah in many ways. Study Yeshua’s behavior/deeds, He lived Torah exactly as we are to live it; the Way John learned it from Him. I urge you to forget what you’ve been taught and restudy Torah as Truth instead of old law done away with. Keep up the great work, and allow the Spirit alone to guide you and less so seminarians. “Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.” 1 John 3:4 “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.” 1 John 5:3 “The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

He's actually being very precise in his Scripture references. Nothing he says is about John the Baptist. Remember, Mary went to her COUSIN Elizabeth when she found out Elizabeth was pregnant and Elizabeth was married to Zechariah, one of the priests (Levites who were descendants of Aaron) who went into the Holy of Holies to minister to God. The Apostle John could have been a cousin, and could have come from a wealthy family.

5:40 I’m no true scholar so if anyone knows I’m wrong and can show how please correct me, but don’t the Aramaic “Targums” have a heavy emphasis on “word” also? Aside from the Greek meaning, which John probably had in mind, as well as Genesis and perhaps a few other things (God’s anthropomorphic wisdom). the Targums that may have been used by Jesus and disciples, and at the very least around the time of the writing of the gospel of John and Jesus , the “Word” in the Targums was a Jewish stand in for God. It was God for all intent and purposes, but not actually him. It was a way to talk about God interacting with the world without disrespecting his “holy otherness”/his transcendence as God and King of the Universe (he’s too holy/other/transcendent to be able to or need to come in contact with the world or work. So in passages of the Hebrew Bible where God did something or interacted with someone directly, it would be changed to the “word” of God did something or interacted with someone directly. It’s my guess that John is playing off of all these ideas, so whether you’re a Greek or a Jew you find meeting that you could understand in what he says. He is the purposes/wisdom/plan/mind of God and his presence in flesh. If you’ve seen me you’ve seen the Father

“The Word” may be a nod to Greek Stoic thought, but more certain is the this reference in the OT. The Word of the LORD is used to describe the visible Yahweh, who is the pre-incarnate Christ in the OT. John knew his OT.

He is the SON of God ....thereby Jesus is what his Father is ...God ...the son of the Most High. Search the scriptures and you will see hundreds of verses that say the Father gave Jesus all that he has...that Jesus inherits all from his Father ...that the Father raised his son from the grave. Literally hundreds of verses make it so very clear that Jesus, before his birth on earth, was the true son of his Father. For God so loved the world that he SENT his only begotten son into the world. I pray for the blessing of this simple truth that modern theology has made us forget. One last verse to study. John 17:3...this is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the ONLY true God , and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. The Father is the only true, self existing God, but praise to him he brought forth a son before the beginning of creation that should sin emerge, there would be a solution. Study John chapters 14-17 and you will begin to see what few understand. Blessings

@@dsheppard8492actually, I am absolutely not Trinitarian. I came out of the trinitarian theology after reading scriptures and believing the Word for what it says. There is one almighty God, self-existent and eternal. Before creation of anything He brought forth FROM HIMSELF, one who was just like him....a son. NOT created, but born of. Adam is created, angels are created, but Jesus was brought forth uniquely...he is the only BEGOTTEN son of the Father . Do we see anything in scripture where life comes forth of a male?? Yes, from Adams rib God brought forth Eve who was flesh of his flesh. Not a new creation, but life from life. Could God have brought forth from himself life?? Of course, and according to his own testimony this is what he did. God then much later sent forth his son into the world....for God so loved the world that he SENT his only begotten son into the world . The Old Testament shows us shadows of this truth but the New Testament shines great light on it. There are two...the Father and the Son....and as stated clearly in John 14 since the day of Pentecost they have sent forth their own spirits, which are holy because they are holy, to live in the hearts of all whom believe. Study John 14...while Christ lived on earth the spirit of his father dwelt within him and it was the Father who did the works of the miracles through Jesus. After Jesus makes this concept clear he goes on to tell the disciples that after he goes he will come again....I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you. .....and a few verses later, if you love me and keep my commandments than I will come with my Father and will will abide in you.

@@deni2622 You are confused. t/here is one God who revealed himself to the world as a HUMAN. this human persona he called himself a son to conceal his true identity as the one single God. Were he to say, while clothed in flesh, " I am" God, this would have destroyed what he sought to accomplish. His death at the hands of the ANTICHRISTS. They perform the abomination that leaves them desolate. If he proclaimed himself the living god he would have to bring fire down from heaven to destroy the crazed mobs that would seek his life, and that of his followers. He needed to protect them for when he was gone. To reveal himself as God would thwart the concept of believing by faith and not sight. As we see he only revealed himself to his disciples after the resurrection, and we must all believe by faith without seeing. As Paul states,,, he is the one and only lord from heaven. The one Lord of the first command. Two of three it makes no difference, It still misses the point of the one God, who is one person, one entity, one being, who is the only savior as written in Isaiah. Those who teach oneness have it right. You have to be careful when reading the King James version, which I prefer, but keeping in mind that the hired group of scholars were all certainly Trinitarian. they have slanted many of the small word to their doctrinal preference. Go to Strongs and you will see many inconsistencies in translation. one example is the use of the word "the". In greek there is no definitive article before titles aor names. This is tru in many languages. Also there is no punctuation or capitalization. So I give you,,, "Grace and peace be unto you from God our father and Lord -Jesus Christ." "from" in italics!!!! Show us the father plainly and it suffices us,,,,,

What happens in the very first verses in the Bible? There are three. God who Speaks (hence the word) and the Spirit hovering over the deep bringing everything into being. All act together and cannot be separated. Words are a medium to convey intention and the Spirit gives understanding which leads to action. God's Words are later written down in the Torah given from God by the Spirit to Moses at Sinai. Every time God speaks there are words involved either audible or as God plants them in minds that are attuned to Him written down, but we must have His Spirit to understand and act on them. How can we have two Spirits from one God? That just confuses the issue and would make God a liar sometimes and hence undependable. Throughout the OT all men choose to ignore the Words of God, to follow their own ideas which gets them into serious trouble. The Pharisees added so many of their own words that God's intention was totally lost. God has prepared us by His Words of prophecy for His coming as a Man, this time to live out and show us by example what His intention was. In doing so we get to see graphically our rebellion and the outcome of our thinking and actions. We just did what we always do since Adam for as he disobeyed we can do no other. We question Him, then reject Him, give him false worship, corrupt His teaching so that He is unrecognisable and then put him to death. We may think that we have done away with the Creator. He simply won't stay dead. Though He may be dead to us through unbelief, it will be us who will ultimately pay the full price in our eternal death at judgement if we have not had faith that Jesus died in our place to win our desire to obey God. He died to save us and as a Man lives again to restore us by faith back to the Father's first intention in Eden. We see there a God who makes everything good and sees man as very good and the pinnacle of His creation, where there is a loving relationship and interdependence on God as a loving Father. The same unity that we see in the Triune God that cannot exist apart from each other. We now listen and follow God's Word given in written form and by example as the Man Jesus the Christ. He now lives and The Spirit is our help. The Spirit is sent to show us God's Word in Jesus life, death and resurrection. As in the book of Jonah when God's word comes to him the second time God's message has not changed. So simple a child can understand without complex theologies that just confuse and muddy the waters as satan did at the beginning. At the end of the day it is not our view of God that will save us but only Jesus' finished work on the cross. So who are we going to listen to.

The Apostle John is brother to James - Their father is identified in Scripture as Zebedee. John the Baptist is son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, and identified as Jesus' cousin. When you state that the Apostle John could have been Jesus' cousin, you are simply speculating. I rely on Scripture for authoritative statements - not man's speculation or wishful thinking.

Jesus never said that he was God, but he did say that he was "God's Son", which is the truth. While people who believe in the Trinity use John 1:1 to support the doctrine that Jesus IS God, to really know the truth on this matter, the context of, not only other Scriptures from the Bible, but even other verses in the very same chapter of John's Gospel, must be taken into account and considered. John 1:18 reads, "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotton Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." So, John clearly states, "no man has seen God at any time." Many people saw Jesus. An, in fact, verse 14 of John 1 clearly states that, "the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotton of the Father,) full of grace and truth." Also, in John 1:1, 2 it says that the Word was WITH GOD. Can one be WITH someone and at the same time BE that person? Also, in the same chapter of John, John the Baptist declares in verse 34 that Jesus is, not God, but "the Son of God". A number of translators render John 1:1 as "the Word was a god" or "the Word was a divine being". This rendering harmonizes with the rest of the Scriptures in the Bible about the nature of God and Christ Jesus. Jesus as "a god" and as "God's Son" perfectly reflects his Father's qualities as shown at Hebrews 1:3. At John 17:3, Jesus addresses the Father as "the only true God".
