[edit] Non-Neutrality

The begining of this article under Analysis it mentions that "Jesus is God" about John 1:1 in the following statement: "The first part (v. 1-18) is an introduction to the Gospel as a whole, explaining that Jesus is God and acts as the mouthpiece (Word) of God "made flesh"" however different religions have different views on the trinity and John 1:1 for example the Jehovah's Witnesses believe in a single almighty God whereas Catholics believe in a trinitarian God so I think this article should either change or it should be noted in spirit of Wikipedia's neutrality. --James Kelly 23:30, 08 May 2006 (EST)

[edit] Individule Chapters

Are entries on individual chapters of a book encyclopedic?--Peter Kirby 02:52, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Sure, if all the articles of individual episodes of tv shows like star trek or south park are encyclopedic on here, chapter by chapter of the bible is surely worthy of wikipedia.

[edit] POV/Translation Issue

I'm not sure at all an article like this really belongs on Wikipedia, but if it is going to stay around any length of time, it needs to change. There are quite a number of respected Bible translations that do not convey the thought in 1:1 that the "Word was God", but instead that the Word was "divine", "godlike", "a god" etc. This will be a problem if the article remains. I assume any similar article will likely have issues much the same. --Oscillate 21:16, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
