Why Do You Believe Jesus is God?

Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

I get what you are saying Prax, but can "He" refer to "the word" in verse 2 if it is replaced there? I always thought "logos" was an actual SPOKEN word, not a "HE", (like your word is not a "HE")

1 In the beginning was the Word(Logos), and the Word(Logos) was with God, and the Word(Logos) was God.

2 The same(HE?) was in the beginning with God.

Can the Greek word (outos) here have a different meaning, similar to an English word having a different meaning according to the context? The KJV translators seemed to believe that in this case.

For instance..the word "WILL"...can you think of different meanings of the same word?

The OLD English translators of 1611 had a more accurate understanding of the old Greek language of the Received Text than we do today.



Their similarities of the 2 languages were far better understood in 1611...The modern day English/Greek translators could not hold a candle to the 1611 English/Greek translators as far as accuracy and understanding of Greek is concerned....

The Greek language has contributed to the English vocabulary in five main ways:

vernacular borrowings, transmitted through Vulgar Latin directly into Old English e.g. 'butter' (Old English butere < Latin butyrum < βούτυρον), or through French, e.g. 'ochre'.
learned borrowings from classical Greek, e.g. 'physics' (< Latin physica < Greek τὰ φυσικά);
a few borrowings via Arabic scientific and philosophical writing, e.g. 'alchemy' (< χημεία);
coinages in post-classical Latin or modern languages using classical Greek roots, e.g. 'telephone' (< τῆλε + φωνή) or a mixture of Greek and other roots, e.g. 'television' (< Greek τῆλε + English 'vision' < Latin visio); these are often shared among the modern European languages, including Modern Greek;
direct borrowings from Modern Greek, e.g. bouzouki.
The post-classical coinages are by far the most numerous of these
