"First of all, what is this in your response,"

Please see post #114.

"Second, in regard to “the actual meaning of ‘LOGOS’”, I have no idea what you are intending to say or criticize. And, by the way, this part is a cheap shot: “talisman-like powers.”"

The point I was trying to make was that the choice of the word LOGOS by St. John was not accidental and did not mean "word" or "words" like so many Protestant apologists wrongly imply. Synonymous with Jesus, Logos is a complete system of knowledge and governing principles. Scripture itself has no god-like powers or properties, that make it superior to Tradition. Both are sacred to the degree to which they reflect God. If the written medium were to be primary Jesus would have been an author instead of an authority and the Apostles would have been scribes and secretaries instead of evangelicals and teachers.

Are you willing to answer the simple questions I posed to you before going on to the matters you have brought in your post?
