RE: In the beginning .... Jesus is God!
But according to that definition of "the Word" then every profit is "the Word" as they all spoke God's words and not their own. But in John it clearly said John the Baptist was not the light and only came to testify about the light. There's also a very clear distinction through all the new testament between Jesus and the rest of the prophets.
No, perhaps you miss the point.
Put it this way, if you believe that Jesus is God and the Father is God and they are two distinct entities, that means that you have at least two gods. I know, you say they are one, but that really doesn't make sense, in which most trinitarians say, well God is a mystery. The Trinity is a mystery because it is not found in the Scriptures. God is not a mystery.
The Writers made it abundantly clear that Jesus is the son of God, a man. And God is the Father alone. No Biblical author believed otherwise. Jesus didn't come to make man aware of a new god concept after 1000's of years. He came to make the Father known.
Jesus is the image of God, not God.
Jesus is the mediator between God and man, not God.
Jesus is a man, not God.
Jesus died.
God raised him, God exalted him, God gave him power. None of this makes sense in your view.
Jesus is the last Adam, a man made in the perfect image of God to atone for mans sin. The Bible plainly teaches that through one man sin and death comes to all but through another man comes grace and life.
If you don't see it, then you probably won't. But it's right there. Accept the lies of men or the truth or God.
