Please explain your definition of the logos as a force. thanks

I'm not saying the Son existed, I'm saying the logos (divine expression, see
John 1) existed. I'm also saying that Jesus' sonship, His status as the Son, had a beginning because it was begotten, according to the prophetic psalm, on "this day."
Hebrews 1:2 does not say that Father and Son together created, it says that Jesus is the means by which the Father created. The Father did the creating, Jesus was the logos (the word, thought and power behind these) with which God spoke Creation into existence.
