Re: Jehovah-Jesus by C.H. Yadon
A couple of brief quotes from "God in Christ Jesus" by John Paterson copyright 1966, pages 7-9
"Now what is a "word"? is it not the expression of an inward abstract thought in a substantial concrete form? It means this in English, but, as a matter of fact, the Greek word Logos means not only the expression of the thought, but also the inward thought itself. So we conclude that the Word was the visible expression of the invisible God --in other words, the invisible God embodied in visible form; and not only this, but the Word was, essentially, nothing less than the Eternal God Himself,...
...the One who showed Himself to Abraham, and to Moses, and to the elders of Israel was none other than the eternal Spirit in a visible, personal FORM under the exalted name of Jehovah, the Word.
From the Scriptures quoted it should be obvious that the Word was not merely an impersonal thought existing in the mind of God but was, in reality, the Eternal Spirit Himself clothed upon by a visible and personal form, mercifully veiling the fulness of His glory from His obedient creatures...
