Brod Pope you said:
"The Bible says that the Word (logos) was God and existed before creation ( John 1:1-2 ). Then it identifies that Word as Jesus, the one who "became flesh and made His dwelling among us"
Therefore Jesus(Pbuh) is the God?
Allow me to complete the verse for the better understanding of others.
"In the beginning was the Word. and the Word was with God and the Word was God". (John 1:1)
BUT...Brod Pope, these are not the words of Jesus. They are the words of John (or whoever wrote them). Acknowledged by every erudite christian scholar of the Bible as being the words of another Jew, Philo of Alexandria, who had written them even before John and Jesus were born, and Philo claimed to divine inspiration for them. No matter what mystical meaning that Philo had woven around these words (which our John has PLAGIARISED) we will accept them for what they are worth.
This verse also emphasize a capital letter in the "Word was God"
but in the old testament, the Lord said unto Moses,
"See, I have made thee a "god to Pharaoh" (Exodus 7:1)
why use small "g" for "GOD" when referring to Moses instead of a capital "G" as you do for a mere word? -'WORD'- "and the Word was God"
I really need to educate myself again, lots of things I dont understand.
