It clearly said DEFINITION and most of the extras you posted, are in the SAME context = DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
"mental gymnastics" -> none of that, it aligns with perfection of the over all theme of the scriptures if you do NOT falsely ADD a pre-existing Jesus which the Bible does not support, for those OF God.
YOU NEVER DID PROVIDE A VERSE, PRE THE CROSS, JESUS SAYING, I GO BACK THE THE FATHER. Naturally you didn't, because he was never literally there before.
You willingly and blatantly ignore the likes of Mal 3:1 and Isa's matchup. You ignore what our simple brain should tell us with regards to the logos meaning. We see from the likes of Isa 44:24, there is NO way possible to ADD Jesus literally to John 1:3, which naturally takes him out of 1 & 2. But as usual, none of you lot address this 1:3 matter.
