Yes, I believe otherwise. The word is not Jesus, who was a man. The word is the sound of God, which is manifest as all things. First the sound. Then the manifestation of the sound.

One man is not differentiated from another. All men are the same. Essentially there is only one human and that is genderless. We are all part of that one human. In one man all fell and in one we all are resurrected. Those two ideas are manifest in the same one. And they are word.

I personally can't see 'the teachings on God' to be the Word... but who knows. It's a very thought provoking Gospel, imo.....

Thanks John .... if Jesus is seen as the 'Word' then this Verse is interesting,
John 1:3 says "All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made."....

[QUOTE Keiw1.

"This is 100% fact-Every trinity scholar on earth knows its fact. If they said truth, then it would do away with 40,000 religions claiming to be christian by exposing them as false religions. Billions would be lost yearly and most assuredly 2 billion humans suing them for taking their $$$ all along. Facts do not lie."]

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....

Thank you. ...and in all things...

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Sky,

And to connect us as one(Nonduality) we need to be able to communicate with each other,,,,,,,,the ‘word’ is the means for doing that(and He needed to communicate with us…and wanted to )

Thanks Mo, love it
Why do you personally think the word is always Word (capitalised) in Scriptures ?
