And, because of that, he would be a good bet for understanding Hebrew.
Jesus was a Jew, and Jesus worshiped the God of the Jews ..... NOT a trinity;
John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: WE know what WE worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Jehovah alone is the creator of the Universe.

such a cascade of errors in that sentence
notice you didn't capitalize "words" I know you think the translators got it wrong , all cultist say that.
"the Word" is a person "In him was life" "the Word" was made flesh
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
You DO realize there was no distinction between capital and lower case when the NT was written. In fact every choice to capitalize a word/letter is an translator's opinion.
Your pretense that the modern translations, by trinitarian translators, is in any way inspired and/or authorized is predictable.
The very notion that John uses "LOGOS" ANY differently in chapter 1, than he does in the rest of his gospel is PURE opinion. With ABSOLUTELY no Scriptural basis.
The passage makes PERFECT sense with the constant definition of LOGOS being, something uttered or written.
The examples of John's use of LOGOS prove this point.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.

John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
John 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
John 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

The Lord's Prayer is Triune.
John 4.22
You worship what you do not know: we worship what we know: for salvation is of the Jews.
From the Greek, 'ek', literally 'out from'.....
The recipe for salvation was given to the Jews, but they lost it...that is why the NT states that Jews have now become a conduit for the rest of us to be saved from their ignorance...
Hogwash.
True, but this text is ALSO discussing WHAT is WORSHIPED. Jesus told her she didn't know what she worshiped, but Jesus and the rest of the Jews did.A said:

Ever heard of context?
Jesus changed the location of worshipping The Father, to Himself and The Holy Spirit, in John 4.
• John 4.21; Worship to The Father is no longer to take place in the Mountain, or in Jerusalem.
• John 4.22; Salvation is out from the Jews.
• John 4.23 – 24; Jesus declares that the NEW place to worship The Father is in Spirit and Truth, which is to worship in the Person of Jesus Christ, who is the temple, holding the Second and Third Persons’ of the Trinity.
Sorry, you are not close.
Jesus was first, telling the Samaritan woman that their copy of the Idolatry of the 10 tribes was NOT going to produce salvation. Jesus told her
Salvation IS of the Jews, because WE know what WE worship.
Jesus and the other Jews had the right God. Jehovah/YHVH, the "God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob".
At the moment Jesus was speaking to her, Jerusalem WAS God's choice for WHERE ..... Jehovah would be worshiped. Jesus explained the coming CHANGE in covenant.
No longer was the PLACE of worship a commandment ... in stead being transformed in spirit, in heart, in mind, in the INNER man, is the issue. A new Law, designed to change the focus from merely going through the motions, to being transformed;
Mark 7:6-7 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Incorrect.
The Greek term used here is arthrous, and is rendered as 'The Salvation', and, as you already freely admitted, it comes 'out from' the Jews.
All NT locations of 'The Salvation', outside of John 4.22, have Jesus as the referent.
Thus, we can be completely confident that John 4.22 is likewise discussing Jesus.
You can be all the confident you like..... It looks to me like you're wrong.
There is only one salvation.
It is the salvation Jehovah commanded Jesus to teach.
Which has ALWAYS been, to worship Jehovah alone as God.
Deut 6:4-5 Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah: 5 and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Deut 6:13 Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; and him shalt thou serve, and shalt swear by his name.
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, (even) Jesus Christ.
And since Jehovah brought Jesus into existence in Bethlehem, and about 30 years later .... when Jesus was "about 30 years old" .... (NOT "infinity") ...Jehovah anointed Jesus of Nazareth with POWER, and KNOWLEDGE, and WISDOM, and THE FEAR OF JEHOVAH.... and sent Jesus out into civilization.
Luke 4:18-21 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because He anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, Today hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears.
Jehovah God sent Jesus. Jehovah God EXALTED Jesus to be Lord, King, Christ, High Priest ... etc.

And Jesus (God the Word) is also YHWH the Creator (also called Jehovah). For:
John 1:1 ¶In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. . .
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.
Colossians 1:12 ¶Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him . . .
So far, so good.
There you went off Scripture. God's words ARE God, but there is no person/being called "God the word".B2 said:
Deut 18:17-18 And Jehovah said unto me, They have well said that which they have spoken. 18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.B2 said:
John 12:49-50 For I spake not from myself; but the Father that sent me, He hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that His commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak.
John 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
It is impossible for Jesus to be "Jehovah" because Jesus is NOT the source of the words he spoke, his God is. His FATHER is Jehovah!
Verses 1-5 are discussing God, and God's words/sayings.B2 said:
Verse 14 is stating that Jesus fulfilled God's words/sayings as a flesh and blood baby boy.

In this text we learn SEVERAL things that are useful to this topicB2 said:
Jesus is God's "dear son" .... NOT "God".
Jesus is THE IMAGE of God .... NOT God.
Among all the "creatures", Jesus is "the firstborn".... so, Jesus is a created being (creature), AND looking at verse 18 we see HOW he is "firstborn", (even though Adam was "the first Adam"), Jesus is "the firstborn from THE DEAD".
Jesus died.
The REAL Jesus, no just a "meat shell".
God cannot die.
Now, WHAT did Paul say Jesus DID create?
"all things created that ARE (present tense... not 4000 years before Jesus literally existed) in heaven, and "all things created that ARE (present tense... not 4000 years before Jesus literally existed) on earth.
SPECIFICALLY 'thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers"!
Yes, Jesus "created" the civilization (world, Cosmos) in which Paul wrote his epistles, and the civilization (world, Cosmos) in which we live. Jesus has been GIVEN "all authority, in heaven and on earth" ...... with his God as the obvious exception.
Jesus is creator.
Colossians 1:15-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
15 [a]He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He [c]is before all things, and in Him all things [d]hold together. 18 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. 19 For [e]it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the [f]fullness to dwell in Him, 20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in [g]heaven.

Of course he is.
He created the civilization in which we live, every throne, dominion, ruler and authority.
Col 1:15-18 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
HOWEVER, Jesus is NOT the Creator of the universe, that's his God;
Isa 42:1-8 Behold, My servant, whom I uphold; My chosen, in whom My soul delighteth: I have put My spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
2 He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.
5 Thus saith God Jehovah, He that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; He that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
6 I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
8 I am Jehovah, that is My name; and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise unto graven images.
Acts 4:24-30 And they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:
25 who by the holy spirit, (by) the mouth of our father David thy servant, didst say, Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples imagine vain things?
26 The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against His Anointed:
27 for of a truth in this city against Thy holy servant Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,
28 to do whatsoever Thy hand and Thy council foreordained to come to pass.
29 And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness,
30 while Thy stretchest forth Thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Thy holy servant Jesus.
Acts 17:24-31
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed any thing, seeing He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised him from the dead.
This is the "black knight" defense, from Monty Python, nothing but Bluster.
Do you know what "one" means?
Or, "only"?
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

All five NT locations of αληθινον, existing outside of John 17.3, have The Son as the referent. Therefore, we can conclude that John 17.3 must likewise pertain to The Son.
