John tells us incredibly clearly:
In fact, to not get it, you'd have to be retarded. Literally.
It is just that clear. Anybody who says otherwise is mentally handicapped or the worst kind of deceptive liar.
We don't go to idiots or liars for any kind of education whatsoever.
My fellow Triune believers, it is so clear John believed emphatically that Jesus was somehow both with and at the same time was God. It just doesn't get grammatically any clearer that this is exactly what He is saying.
Have your Sunday school kids read this passage with you and ask them who the Word and the Light is that became flesh and shines in the world and makes God known. They will have no problem at all telling you...
...Unless they are mentally challenged. They are too young to be purposefully deceptive.
What a blast of arrogance from an ignorant person who has no idea what he is talking about.
To begin with, John doesn't mention Jesus in Jn 1:1-14.
He clearly refers to many such verses like Isa 55:11, Ps 33:6+9 which were later confirmed in Heb 11:3.
This was a common knowledge until people like Lon decided to prove that the Father the only one true God lies in hundreds of proof texts:
Tyndale 1534:
Joh 1:1 In the beginnynge was the worde and the worde was with God: and the worde was God. 2 The same was in the beginnynge with God. 3 All thinges were made by it and with out it was made nothinge that was made. 4 In it was lyfe and the lyfe was ye lyght of men
Bishops 1568:
Joh 1:1 In the begynnyng was the worde, & the worde was with God: and that worde was God. 2 The same was in the begynnyng with God. 3 All thynges were made by it: and without it, was made nothyng that was made. 4 In it was lyfe, and the lyfe was the lyght of men, 14 And the same word became fleshe, and dwelt among vs ( and we sawe the glory of it, as the glory of the only begotten sonne of the father) full of grace and trueth.
Geneva 1587:
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God. 2 This same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made. 4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
Our modern Concordant Literal Version:
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was toward God, and God was the word. " 2 This was in the beginning toward God. 3 All came into being through it, and apart from it not even one thing came into being which has come into being." 4 In it was life, and the life was the light of men."
The reason our Bibles translate logos as word is that Jerome, a monk of the early fifth century, mistranslated it as verbum.
Jerome’s Vulgate, as it is called, became the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church, and the texts Jerome used have become the mainstay of contemporary liberal versions. The Latin term Verbum became Word in English.

When last you heard this on Sunday school, Lon?
Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Can you show written the same way that God is Trinity?
No???????
Is that why you have to come up with such arrogance?
Do you think that your arrogance will change God's word?
