John 1 is not a fool-proof text. The “word” in the prior known translations was not capitalized and it was “it” not “he”. It was capitalised in the KJV of 1611 and “it” became “he”.
Besides, Jon 1 neither state that God is Trinity nor that Jesus is God. All began in 325 under the pagan Roman god’s “inspiration”.
Besides. the word was with God about eternal life for His people before the beginning.
Jesus and the NT writers almost always referred to prophets.
Which prophets you would say Jesus referred to in Jn1:1-3 if not to these?
Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Psa 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
Psa 33:9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
It is confirmed in the NT:
Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word (rhema-never Jesus, always utterance) of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
The origin of Jesus is clearly stated here:
2Sa 7:12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
Peter declares it fulfilled here:
Act 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
and Paul here:
Act 13:23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
Further by Krsto on logos:
We get our word LOGIC from LOGOS as well as biology (the study of life), anthropology (the study of man), psychology (the study of the soul), etc.
The second part of the definition of LOGOS (from http://www.biblestudytools.net. (The same can be found in a Strong’s Concordance):
2. Its use as respect to the MIND alone:
a. reason, the mental faculty of thinking, meditating, reasoning, calculating
b. account, i.e. regard, consideration
c. account, i.e. reckoning, score
d. account, i.e. answer or explanation in reference to judgment
e. relation, i.e. with whom as judge we stand in relation
1. reason would
f. reason, cause, ground
This definition of LOGOS can be clearly seen in the following usages where LOGOS is translated into the underlined words in all capital letters:
Ac 18:14 - Gallio said unto the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, REASON would that I should bear with you.”
Ac 10:29 - Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what INTENT ye have sent for me?
Ac 8:21 - Thou hast neither part nor lot in this MATTER: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
Ac 15:6 - And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this MATTER.
Mt 5:32 - But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the CAUSE of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery.
Mt 18:23 - The kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take ACCOUNT of his servants.
Lu 16:2 - And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an ACCOUNT of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
Heb 13:17 - Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give ACCOUNT, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief.
