The = denoting one or more people or things already mentioned or assumed to be common knowledge. used to point forward to a following qualifying or defining clause or phrase: used as a function word to indicate that a following noun or noun equivalent is a unique or a particular member of its class.
Hence, temporarily we can remove "the". The Word is the person/being Jesus you say. 1:14 - And the Word Man became...........
Are you saying that Jesus is not "a" man? and God was a Word. (if your claiming he is the Word)
The Word is the person/being Jesus you say -> As he is the image of God, what is Word the image of? Stick directly to the simple question. ------------ "Jesus is often referred to as the Word of God."
I'm NOT interested in what men say he is referred to, so show me a verse that supports this claim. He has a name (only) The Word of God, which represents a Key role the God and Father gave him, to bring the word of God, word of life into the world like never before. God gives names to represent the roles he has for people like - Abraham = Father of many.
Jesus is the results of the word of God, they effectively made him, like let there be light, let there be Jesus. Did the Word express himself into being? Words that came Forth from God, just like Jesus repeatedly says, I came forth from God and was Then sent into the world, after his Baptism = the meaning of ALL send's or sent into the world John 17:18 for one example.
In that sense, he is word of God and as he is a man = a Word of God.
Word of Life -> lead in to 1 John 1:1,2 = John 5:39 - You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; For the life was manifested, and we have seenit, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us
which was with the Father, = Likes of -> Titus 1:2 - In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before time eternal; 2 Tim 1:9 - Who hath saved us, and calledus with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before time eternal,
"THAT WHICH, THAT WHICH" IN NO WAY IS REFERRING TO A HE OR HIM, IT IS REFERRING TO THE SCRIPTURES, WHICH WERE LATER MANIFESTED WITH THE BIRTH OF JESUS, that was the Rock that follow them, after they had long passed. The spiritual milk they drank, was the likes of this plan, prophesy. He was the firstborn of creation, the beginning of the creation of God, in his mind = inner logos, hid in him, right where all our creations begin, for the future one to be of ALL time, born from Mary. (Col 1:15, Rev 3:14, 13:8).
All things were created by God and God alone, by himself Isa 44:24, with this plan in mind (for in Him) and for him, us included.
