I think the idea that the word or Logos is God is amazing.
But what does it mean?

“The Word” is Jesus.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . . And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:1, 14).
The word is God’s Truth.
“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. The ones along the path are those who have heard; . . . the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy; but these have no root, they believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. And as for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience” (Luke 8:11-15).
Sounds like Boot Camp.
The word is Jesus who was used as God’s method of communication to us humans.
In many ways it is.
Boot camp is meant to break your individual identity so you are not full of yourself.
