I went with treating "God" here to mean "Heavenly Father and Mother" because I've heard a lot of different translations and one of those was the the Word is Christ and the Word being with God could mean that Christ was with Heavenly Parents before coming here. Like I said, <i>logos</i> is a very complex word. I had one BYU professor interpret "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God" to "In the beginning was the council and the council was with the Gods." So because of the varied opinions on this scripture, I figured it was legitimate to interpret it this way and I do think this scripture probably deserves a double and triple take.TopHathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03014761105792283513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846614321116144133.post-69780635768328672542011-01-04T06:50:26.786-08:002011-01-04T06:50:26.786-08:00verse 14, "And the Word was made flesh, and d...verse 14, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." Doesn't this passage, of which you quote the beginning, refer to Jesus Christ?Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096532380796904874noreply@blogger.com
