I would say that the word was manifest from God/source, when it was spoken and became the word. Before that, it may have existed as a thought within source itself. And then from there the spoken word, or the word, became the source of creation.

The above is ' not fact ' but an opinion. A fact is an objective piece of information that can be proven true or false , you cannot prove what you have written to be true/false..... We are all obviously entitled to our personal opinions....[/quote]i dont give personal opinions--i studied facts thoroughly.

Various followers of God, such as the Jews, Hebrews, etc., have never believed in the Trinity. Also, the Moslems have never believed in a Trinity.

The post clearly said, "I would say..." and "It may have..." it was clearly an opinion.

The 'facts' that you have studied...might they be words in the Bible?

Why do you personally think the word is always Word (capitalised) in Scriptures ?

In Koine Greek, they did not have lower case letters so making something capitalized in English is done by the translators.

Yes I sometimes study 'Facts' but most of the so called 'Facts' written in Scriptures are actually the 'Opinions' of the Scribes.

Facts are helpful to a certain point but true learning is accelerated by a teacher……Jesus essentially said “put aside your books and come to me”. Consider the percentage of skilled persons who relied on teachers….pianists, athletes, ballerinas,….in short…almost everyone needs some measure of hands on teaching. It is necessary for us to be spiritual as opposed to just knowing about it from books, etc.
