Box, please tell us about the "symbolism" of:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God."

I know that folks like you would desperately like to take the Gospel of John out of the biblical canon. (Just like Lee desperately wanted James out of the canon) I'm sure you would also like to take out some other of John's other writings...like where the Lord Jesus is called "King of kings and Lord of lords!" and "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end"

Box, who is greater than the temple? Only the one who dwells in the temple is greater than the temple. You read the Old Testament, right? So you should know this. Hear the words of the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ: "I tell you, something greater than the temple is here." Yes, something greater than the temple was there, because the Word of God was made flesh. And the Word was God. Praise Him for the wonderful and glorious fact!
