John 1:16 And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.

the word John uses for "Fullness" is the word ????????
ple?ro?ma
play'-ro-mah
From G4137; repletion or completion, that is, (subjectively) what fills (as contents, supplement, copiousness, multitude), or (objectively) what is filled (as container, performance, period): - which is put in to fill up, piece that filled up, fulfilling, full, fulness.

What are your thoughts on this awesome word and description of the purpose of the bread which came down from Heaven to Give His Very Life and Substance for us all to partake of His divine nature ?

IS it possible to have been given something and yet not even know it ?

If True Light is also True Knowledge , than is not the rejected "knowledge of good and evil," darkness....or rather, the darkened understanding which resulted from the fall from the FULLNESS spoken of by John ?

John 1:9 "That was the true Light, which LIGHTS EVERY MAN that comes into the world."

"Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness." Luke 11:35

Micah 7:8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

Why did John say that we have ALL received of his Fullness?

Could it simply be that we have been kept in the dark about certain things by the deceiver who is said to deceive the whole world ?

Is not his power to deceive, simply stated, the power of darkness which is undetectable without the True Light which exposes darkness to be the work and planting of the spirit of Error ?

John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

1John 2:9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

Ephesians 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

Isn't it time that we come into the Light concerning these things dearly beloved of God ?

If you were offered the "Pleroma" Fullness of the Godhead in Christ, and the Grace for Grace to be established as a son of God, who in their "righteous" mind would turn that down ? : )

Much love in the Light to you all ! Thank you for yor time to consider these passages and share what it means that we have all received of His Fullness : )

1John 2:10 He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

( In the Light of his Love there is nothing to trip us up, for the path of His Light has been opened by faith in the grace of His Fullness of Love and is transmitted to us as we look up and accept the rays of His everlasting Love (Life) ! )
