Commentary on John 6.62 [1 page]
by John Schoenheit, Mark Graeser, John Lynn rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)
This verse is referring to the resurrection of Christ. This fact is clear from studying the context. Because the translators have chosen to translate anabaino as “ascend,” people believe it refers to Christ’s ascension from earth as recorded in Acts 1:9, but Acts 1:9 does not use this word.

God and Jesus

Anthony discusses the popular argument that Elohim has a plural ending and thus points to plurality in God. Elohim when used for the One God is not plural in meaning. The four "let us" texts should never be allowed to contradict the thousands and thousands of singular pronouns by which God describes Himself (not Themselves!) in the Bible. The brilliant and unifying text in Deut. 6:4, 5 which Jesus celebrated as the greatest truth of all (Mark 12:28ff.) informs us that God is a single Person. the Trinitarian understanding of God as Three Persons is a much later development that the Bible does not recognize. Jesus and Paul did not believe in a Triune God.
