for they accepted the word ---> In (the) beginning was the word and the word was with the God ----------------- Wotsup, you're endeavoring to equate ''word'' throughout the Scriptures with ''the Word'' of John 1:1. That is like suggesting every time the word ''love'' is used in the Scriptures it refers to ''God''. It leads to confusion.
(1 John 4:8) Whoever does not love has not come to know God, because God is love.
