The word, what was the "word"? A movement without any other source, the first word was the " I am "
Does that not grab you in deep places...sky. How deep is the sky? Sky. Love your name...eternally. Lol.

It's like Nowayout, a puzzle birthed in the mosaic of life?
Jesus was a puzzle too, so divine, so human, and obedient to the Father. Or so the story goes...

It seems like God can come in different shapes and sizes and according to Jesus as quoted here he is a Dual Being. So he lives and does right?

In the creation accounts, the first entity mentioned is transliterated something like Elohim and is typically translated as God.

In the second creation account, that entity is transliterated something like Yahweh and is typically translated as LORD.

Regards John 1:1, how is the word 'God' and the word 'god' rendered into Greek?

I have said my piece for the day. I see that the criteria to be a human being is to have a soul. Does God have a soul too?

I'f you don't believe in me because of what I say, believe in me because of my works."
John 10:38.

Honestly here, and in the 21st century...
Who doesn't believe in Him?

The soul is the present manifestation of a person.
There are others, all concurrent.

While God can appear in human form (or in other physical form) if He wants to, He is, in His essence, not a physical being. Many people in the Bible witnessed theophanies, or appearances of God. No one, though, other than Jesus Christ (John 1:18), has seen God in all of His glory. Even the seraphim in heaven cover their eyes as they worship God (Isaiah 6:1–4).

This is why going before God is not to be taken lightly, it's not just about love although God is love.
