What Came Down From Heaven?

    Deputy Dog has been persistent in asking that question.

    The Bible's answer from a translation at one time favored by JW's:

    John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. 1:3 All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 1:5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not. ASV

    John 6:48 I am the bread of life. 6:49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 6:51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. ASV

    God/Word/Life/Bread all encompassed by Jesus of Nazareth.

    How can an angel - arch or otherwise - lay claim to these titles?

    JWs are looking forward to fire raining down from Heaven devouring the wicked.

    The manna pictured Jesus, the Bread of Life.

    JW's are not the only ones who look forward to the end of wickedness.

    Thanks - I think.

    You like the word euphoria I see - from Greek, well-bearing.

    I've been waiting for years for some JW to tell me what exactly that bread represents. What actualy came down? If any thing came down (as Jesus said) Jesus can't be simply 100% man.
