Both of these are needed to form the biblical concept The Word.
God cannot be with God right? Isn't that the contention of oneness with the trinity? But John speaks, he that was with God, he was God. He that was God, he was with God.
So The Word who was God, was with God... Yet God cannot be with God... It's really quite to much to put your head around I think :/

In other words had the noun logos been neuter John would have called the Logos an 'it'.

Ok, well you used the pronoun several times so it did seem like it
