This is forced overinterpretation. There is nothing to suggest that that verse refers in any way to Jesus.

“In the beginnign was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” All it says is that God was (and thus is) all that there was (and thus is) and that God’s Word gave rise to all creation. To interpret the verse the way you do requires a stretch of creative interpretation.

Here are the origins of the truths you seem so reluctant to accept and have in fact tried to dissemble by selective omission, quoting a clause out of context for what follows immediately upon what you quoted in order to dissemble and thus deceive. Jesus is The Word, and Jesus is The Life, and Jesus IS the Light. It is you who have sought to use 'creative interpretation' ...

The Gospel of John, Chapter One:

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The poster asserted: "This is forced overinterpretation. There is nothing to suggest that that verse refers in any way to Jesus."

If satan wants to convey a lie, he usually starts with a small piece of truth and places his lie in that isolated context, just as the poster TBP has done in asserting 'there is nothing to suggest that that' verse refers in any way to Jesus. By purposely not posting the verses which follow, the servant of a lie seeks to ignore that the Bible is its own best commentary and deny the power of truth by omitting that which does not fit the poster's desired deceit.

I guess this came from the forged/made up portion?

John 1:14
14And (A)the Word (B)became flesh, and (C)dwelt among us, and (D)we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of (E)grace and (F)truth.
