Where do you see Scripture calling Jesus the Word of God ? I started this journey some 15 years ago trying to diagram John 1. At one point, to make sense of it, I even wondered if there weren't a "Quarternary" (the Word being a 4th person of the Godhead).
10 And I fell down at his feet, to do him homage; and he saith unto me--See! [thou do it] not! A fellow-servant, am I, of thee and of thy brethren who have the witness of Jesus: unto God, do homage! For, the witness of Jesus, is the spirit of the prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven, set open, and lo! a white horse, and, he that was sitting thereon, [[called]] Faithful, and True; and, in righteousness, doth he judge and make war;
12 and, his eyes, are a flame of fire, and, upon his head, are many diadems, having, a name, written, which, no one, knoweth, but himself,
13 and arrayed with a mantle sprinkled with blood, and his name hath been called--The Word of God.
14 And, the armies which were in heaven, were following him, upon white horses, clothed with fine linen, white, pure;
15 and, out of his mouth, is going forth a sharp sword, that, therewith, he may smite the nations,--and, he, shall shepherd them with a sceptre of iron, and, he, treadeth the wine-press of the wrath of the anger of God the Almighty.
16 And he hath, upon his mantle and upon his thigh, a name, written--King of kings, and Lord of lords. (Rev. 19:10-16 ROT)
I meant no offense—it's kind of a trap to just call every little thing offensive, and not conducive to constructive dialogue.
Instead of dealing with the actual point.
