    In beginning was the word and the word (in progress, on going =) toward the God and God was the word.
    This; was in beginning (in progress, on going =) toward the God.
    All things through him were made............




    The phrase "the word in progress, ongoing toward the God" implies a temporal progression or development of the Word (Jesus) towards God. Jesus, as the eternal Son of God, has always existed and is not in a state of progression or development towards God.



    The statement "God was the word" is different from that "the Word was God." In the Gospel of John, the correct phrasing is "the Word was God" (John 1:1), which emphasizes the divinity of Jesus. The reversal of this phrasing in the statement you provided is leading to your misunderstanding of the nature of Jesus and God.


    Here are a few Bible verses that affirm the immutability, or unchanging nature, of God:

    Malachi 3:6: "For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed."


    James 1:17: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change."

    Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

    Psalm 102:25-27: "Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, but you are the same, and your years have no end."

    Numbers 23:19: "God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?"

    1 Samuel 15:29: "And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or have regret, for he is not a man, that he should have regret."
