John did not write his Gospel to claim Jesus is God incarnate. Trinitarians are obviously reading it into his words.
Words are a thing, not a person.
ERROR, the Word is the Spirit. listen Carefully. all the OT prophets says something like this. example, 2 Samuel 7:4 "And it came to pass that night,
that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,"
1 Kings 6:11 "And
the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,"
Isaiah 38:4 "Then came
the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,"
Jeremiah 1:2 "To whom
the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign."
Ezekiel 1:3 "
The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him."
Joel 1:1 "
The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel."
Just one more, Zephaniah 1:1 "T
he word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah."
ARE WE GETTING THE PICTURE. now the question, HOW, and WHO did the "word" of the LORD COME?"
101G say BY and How of the Word of God as in John 1:1. well how do you know this 101G? Genesis 15:1 "After these things
the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward."
IN a VISION? well who used Vision by the prophets? answer, Hosea 12:10 "I have also
spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied
visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets." B.A.M. BAM, BAM. The Lord Spoke, and the Word of the Lord came doing WHAT? ..... saying, and the LORD said what? "I have also
spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied
visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets."
now let's see God clearly, the Spirit JESUS speaking to the Prophets of OLD. 1 Peter 1:10 "Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:" 1 Peter 1:11 "Searching what, or what manner of time
the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow."
WHERE WAS THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST? ..... IN THEM, THE PROPHET OF OLD. B.A.M. BAM, BAM. and who is that Spirit? 2 Peter 1:21 "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:
but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." WHO DID THEY SPEAK BY? LET'S SEE AGAIN, Hosea 12:10 "I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets."
CAN ONE GET ANY PLAINER?
