You simply cannot translate AWAY from the intended meanings that were intended back in the times.
If you mess with word order, you get an entirely different meaning.
Goodness me, you keep harping on that we need to understand who and what they would have understood passages etc at the time, and now you are saying it is OK to abandon this.
And the Word flesh became and - and the Word became flesh and - ARE two totally different meanings, blind Freddy should be able to SEE this.
The 1st is, Word flesh already existing is going to do something and the 2nd is effectively saying, the word was made flesh = a totally different and FALSE meaning.
Goodness me, the True verses following 1:14, CLEARLY show that Jesus is not on the scene in 1:14 = it is a prophesy of something yet to happen and that is, He will dwell in the Father and behold his glory, just as the scriptures CLEARLY show happened John 17:22 and 17:17
The grace and truth that is to come through Jesus in the following verses, clearly shows that that has not been accomplished yet, as Jesus has Not arrived as per 1:14.
No way is John covering the subject of Jesus's birth, so to speak, he had NO need to do that, Luke well and truly covers that.
The Gospel of John is picking up the likes of Mal 3:1, predominantly introducing the Father Yehowah in the prologue.
The word of God, the likes of Eph 3:9 was expressed, just as the scriptures show, resulting in the words of God becoming, producing, flesh as per example in Isa 55:8-11.
Like -> and the word/plan creation became = 1:3, expressed from the plan in The God in part b of 1:1 and in the word -> "This;" in 1:2.

Most of your link there translates to, this gives us a license to translate to our bias seeds, no more and no less.
Leave the Greek exactly as it is and translate word for word and THOSE of God will have zero issues with flow etc, as it will flow in their minds.
