Thank you for your post!

IMHO, using "Logos" is not the answer - logos is used throughout the New Testament where it means words of God as compared to The Word of God.

John 1 however is absolutely clear that The Word of God means Jesus Christ, the person, one of the Trinity.

Revelation 19 also makes it very clear that The Word of God is the person of Jesus Christ:

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. - Rev 19:11-13

True. I guess when some people read John 1:1, they may associate "Word" with the normal useage (in Scriptures) of logos, thus making the connection between God and the words printed in the Bible.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1"

Are you familiar with any verses that say that the Bible saves us?

Regards
