Why Do You Believe Jesus is God?

The Noun Logos is masculine. The Pronouns in vs 2 is masculine. The Pronouns in vs 3 and 4 are also masculine

This "He" is "in Him was life and the Light of men"

That Light, John says was in the world

Joh 1:8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
Joh 1:9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.

Nobody that knows grammar, English or Greek would agree with you that verse 3 and 4 are not about the Logos

The reason Logos is not used is because we have pronouns. In Grammar Pronouns take the place of Nouns. So instead of saying "Logos Logos Logos, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, God, God, God, Peter, Peter Peter" over and over, in both English and Greek we replace nouns with pronouns.

That is basis grammar

Ok Prax....My question is this.....if you could please elaborate on this passage and explain what the "word" actually is referring to here. We know it was in the beginning with God and it is God, you say it is masculine...is it simply an actual spoken word or something else I am not seeing?
BTW... I know you do not believe that the WORD here is Jesus(post 298). I am fine with the teaching that Jesus was there from the beginning, (but only in the thoughts of God). Thanks


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