What do you personally think of this version ?
'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. This one was in the beginning with God. All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence.'
What was the Word that was a god ? |

I think you answered your question somewhere else.
You agree that Satan is the god of this age/world and you claim the Word is also a god and that everything was created thru that god which is in harmony with Colossians 1:16.
Also, reference Post numbers 8 and 10.

And have you looked up who Michael the Archangel might be?
The Angel of God is mentioned numerous times in the Bible. Could the Angel of God also be one of the sons of God? And possibly the first son of God? Maybe even the first born of Creation?
If it wasn't for John, would we even know who was the Word or even that there was a Word?
And if it wasn't for Paul along with John, would we even know about Jesus being the first born of creation? And that the rest of creation actually was done by this first born?
And didn't Paul's writings clue us that Satan is also a god?

I haven't answered the question. I personally don't believe in a satan.
Who is the Word who was a god ?. I always think of the ' Word' as being Jesus... |

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"
Was that word Love? God is Love? Jesus radiated this....

Good point  . I personally believe the 'Word' represents Jesus.
This version is a puzzle for me,
'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god'....
Who is the Word who was a god, ( lower case ).... is this referring to Jesus as a lower god. |

How it is phrased made me think (realise?) the word could well be Love....so...
In the beginning was love and love was with God, and Love was God
i.e. God is Love!

Hi Sky,
For what it might be worth, I would say, yes.
Just my two cents,
David |

Hi Ameliorate,
I think a brilliant interpretation!
