John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God; 3 all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. 4 In him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. 15 (John bore witness to him, and cried, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.’”) 16 And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.

What do you know about the Word of God??

Okay, I can't keep it in!

GN 1:1-3.God created the heavens and the earth” by saying “Let there be…”, so the supernatural world manifests the Word of God in an impersonal way. As Paul teaches in RM 1:20, “Since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”

GN 1:27. God's Word created man in his own image, male and female. Here we have God creating beings who could fellowship or commune with His Word via language.

GN 2:24. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh” indicates that the first Word conveyed to humanity from God taught that marriage is a spiritual union of one man and one wife. Jesus quoted this Word and added “So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what the Word has joined together, let man not separate.” (MT 19:4-6) The terms "reason" and "therefore" associate the Word or Logos with logic.

GN 3:4. The serpent contradicted God's Word and thereby tempted Adam and Eve to commit the first sin. In GN 2:17, God had told Adam and Eve they would die if they ate fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but the serpent introduced the option of ungodliness or functional atheism, which they chose. The first or original sin was not eating physical fruit, but rather choosing not to doubt the Devil, not to cooperate with the Word of God, and not asking God why the serpent contradicted what He had told them (MT 7:7).

And yes, John says in JN 1:14, “The Word became flesh [human] and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

What do you know about the Word of God??

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”

And so we see the following spiritual equation:

God = Jesus = Word = Holy Spirit = Light = Truth = God

You mean JN 1:1, and what is wrong with "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"?

Is this what you have in mind?

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.
..........................................................
Is that what my personal study said? What would be the grammatical evidence for such an understanding?

Apparent you disagree with the Trinity but speak clearly in your own words.

If you have knowledge of the greek language I would like to ask you about the understanding use of a definite article such as----- Lead us not into temptation but saying Lead us not into the temptation? ( trial or testing )

How about copying and pasting the relevant part here so we can see what you two are talking about?
Thanks.

I was really hoping you would make it easy for us and post your version of John 1:1, from your personal study, so we can read it for ourselves.
