The Witness John
6 There [c]came a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 [d]He came [e]as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. 8 [f]He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
9 There was the true Light [g]which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His [h]own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were [i]born, not of [j]blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
The Word Made Flesh
14 And the Word became flesh, and [k]dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of [l]the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me [m]has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’” 16 For of His fullness [n]we have all received, and [o]grace upon grace. 17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth [p]were realized through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.
If Jesus was there from the beginning , where did he go?

The blatantly obvious problem you have when discussing the bible chaney3, is that you don't know it.
It was taken from previous cultures.
Originally posted by @chaney3You are well known on here for calling the bible man-made BS, despite claiming in your first ever post at rhp that you've always been a Christian. This is duplicity is nothing new and no one is impressed. Do you have something of substance to offer or discuss?
Yes I do.

Presumably this revelation something you somehow experienced between the period of 'always being a Christian" and 'never being a Christian', correct?
Being a Christian is over rated.
