The phrase "the word in progress, ongoing toward the God" implies a temporal progression or development
" = Eph 3:9 - And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things = Alone and by himself Isa 44:24

That ongoing plan is tied to -> Titus 1:2 - In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before time eternal;
Hence 1:1 In beginning and not "the" beginning.

1:2 - This: = In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before time eternal;
Eph 3:9 - And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things -> was in beginning on going, in progress = toward the God.

In Him life was -> In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before time eternal;
Eph 3:9 - And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things -> and that life, word of life prophesies/scriptures later, was the light of men.
1:9 That was the true light that enlightens EVERY man coming into the world - including Adam, so it the word of God = light, was not about to come into the world.

So don't add corruption to the word "toward".

The statement "God was the word" is different from that "the Word was God."

Your telling me it is, the one I provided is the correct one, and you yourself provided an interlinear that also quoted it as I have shown, but you chose to by pass that truth.
The God was the word, is to show that God is now the subject (identification as to who the word is) in this part and not the word, the one previously mentioned The God, who became the subject here and not the word.
While your word is in you, it is you = and God was the Word (God is Word, The Word).

God's words as with ours, are the spirit of us.

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

Malachi 3:6: "For I Yehowah the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed."
Like he does NOT become man.

"
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."

Yep, and everything including all power comes from the one Holy Spirit = Father and Holy Spirit are one in the same, like one apple.

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."

Like Isa 44:24 - Thus saith Yehowah, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I Yehowah that maketh all [B]things[/B][SIZE=16px];[/SIZE][SIZE=16px] that stretcheth forth the heavens[/SIZE][B][SIZE=16px] alone;[/SIZE][/B][SIZE=16px][SIZE=16px] that spreadeth abroad the earth [/SIZE][B]by myself;[/B][/SIZE]

That well and truly blows Jesus out of John 1:3 which in turn takes him out of 1 & 2, as that one is the creator, who created on account of, by reason of, for the sake of, because of the future one born from Mary.

"
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."

No he is not man or son of man and neither became either of them, because the scriptures say so.

Jesus is understood to be the Son of God, who took on human form while also being fully God.

The belief that God doesn't change is often based on verses like Malachi 3:6, which states, "For I the Lord do not change." This idea is often referred to as divine immutability. While it implies that God's essential nature, character, and promises do not change, it does not mean that God cannot interact with his creation or take on different forms.

The Incarnation, or Jesus becoming man, is a unique event in which God revealed himself to humanity through the person of Jesus Christ. This act of God taking on human form is a demonstration of his unchanging love, mercy, and desire to connect with humanity.

Within the concept of the Trinity (the belief in one God existing in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), while Jesus took on human form, the divine nature of God didn't change. Jesus' divinity remained constant even though he added humanity to himself. This means that Jesus, being fully God, still possesses all the divine attributes that do not change.

While Jesus took on human form, it did not signify a change in God's divine nature. Instead, it was an expression of God's unchanging character and desire to bridge the gap between humanity and himself.
